Now

We got back from a family holiday in Cornwall not too long ago - and we have another holiday with the other side of the family coming up. The travel is lovely, but it's making everything feel very in-between. Had a great time in Cornwall, though - had a clamber, collected a lot of pebbles and seashells, saw some truly enormous waves crashing on the rocks.

I also got a ton of inspiration for Flesh - a sizeable chunk of which is set in Cornwall. This novel is steadily taking over my brain; I want to be working on it as much as possible. Which is slightly annoying, because there are other things I need to be doing.

Current Projects

📰 Assorted Applications 📰

The grind goes on.

IN-PROGRESS: 4

🫀 Flesh is The Way of The World 🫀

A novel about body horror, the apocalypse, and unspeakably traumatised teenagers. Currently on its 4th or 5th draft, because I keep abandoning them and starting over.

CURRENT GOAL: Get the story out of my brain and onto the page, beginning to end, regardless of quality.

STATUS: At that odd point in any longform project where you have a good chunk under your belt, but you're starting to grasp just how far there is left to go. What's carrying me through is just how much I love writing these strange little freaks.

🌃 How To Make It Home 🌃

An undum game about navigating a city by night. One of several smaller projects I'm using to get more comfortable with JavaScript.

CURRENT GOAL: (Mostly) shelved until July, when it'll become my project for Welcome to My Home Page.

STATUS: n/a

📹 The Creature You Could Be 📹

A novelette that poses the question 'what if Victor Frankenstein was a sapphic YouTuber?'

CURRENT GOAL: Shelved until I get tired of working on Flesh.

STATUS: n/a
