The Spirit Of The Desk (Patreon)

The desk I’m writing on in Bologna has a number of these excellent but creepy figures hidden in the wood.

Laser Fraser is flipping through the paper book of Neil Gaiman’s Pirate Stew while listening to Neil Gaiman read his book Pirate Stew on Audible on repeat while I finish the first draft of this silly D’Ancey LaGuarde book. The temptation to think she’s a genius when she lines the right pages up with the right words is almost overwhelming.

This week’s News Quiz that I wrote on went up on BBC Radio 4 today if you want to tell everyone how good it is when I’m writing on it. I’ll be doing the rest of this season.

I’m wrapping up the first draft of The D’Ancey LaGuarde Reader to hand in tomorrow. Wild times. I’ll know soon what the next thing is; how much editing they want and what the release date is. Stay tuned.

The Book Club this week was fun, and the theme was Carpe Diem poems. See you all at the Writers meeting, salon or just floating around the comments section or the discord.
