There is a big and stressful deadline approaching. I'm feeling as I always do when that's the case: tense and irritable and stalked by intractable doom. I know from experience that this feeling will vanish literally as soon as I've submitted it. A bit surreal to be feeling so bad and also completely unconcerned by it!
Taking a break.
Not talking about this one just yet.
Just a lot of ten-minute writing exercises, really.
A novel about body horror, the apocalypse, and unspeakably traumatised teenagers. A passion project six years in the making.
Very happy to have been invited back to judge the Robert Coover Award!
A novelette that poses the question 'what if Victor Frankenstein was a sapphic YouTuber?'
A game about Oxbridge, the magical boarding school fantasy, and the general state of academia.
The grind goes on.
