Something a bit different from my usual output. Today I published a short story based on Doctor Who to the BBC’s Mixital site.
.
I fancied writing something different from my typical transgressive stories, and I’ve never tried my hand at writing for the revived series Doctors. I wrote a few classic Doctor Who stories when I was a teenager, with one of my ambitions being to write an official Doctor Who novel. That novel remains partially written, but fully planned, waiting patiently for me to return to it. Who knows, maybe I will.

Winter Sunday vibes. Am in a blanket burrito and last night’s lashes, on sofa with the kittens. Reaching for edits… but they are so far… May watch my new drama #badbuddyseries or #acastleforchristmas instead! If you went outside today you’re a superhero already in my book, and if you’re cosy on the sofa you’re a soul sibling. Have a lovely day whichever it is. ❄️ #winternonfashion #authorsofinstagram

I’m working hard on edits of my new and mysterious novel. Edits are not my strong suit so please think of me during this spooky season as I kill my darling banters, beauteous followers. (Critique partners: books CAN’T be 70% jokes 30% suffering. Me: explain why.) #authorsofinstagram #thiswritinglife #pomegranates #evil #unicornpostits

Looking forward to my IG Live tomorrow with Josh Rushing.
9/17 12 pm PST/3 pm EST
#repost @joshrushing:
Be sure to catch Thursday’s IG Live with Walidah Imarisha, who I met in Portland a few years ago while on assignment for @AJFaultLines.
Walidah is a writer, historian, public scholar, poet, activist and professor committed to not only imagining but creating a better world without poverty, prisons and inequality. “What would it look like,” Imarisha asks, “to use the tens of billions of dollars spent on the prison system differently: for living wage jobs, for public education, for health care, for quality affordable housing, and more?”
We’ll talk about this vision and why she believes even nonfiction books must be read partially as fiction… as well as race, gender, Star Wars, the creative process and what she’s learned about life along the way.
Check out Walidah’s projects here: https://www.walidah.com/projects-1.

I’m not even halfway through but I have decided I love this book a LOT. So experimental, so precise in the way it hurts and heals. Masterful writing by @yararodriguesfowler, you can’t tell this is a debut book. It’s out next week so make sure to treat yourself to this new kind of brilliance. You deserve it!
Post link
A friend mentioned yesterday that my book already has a 5 star review on Goodreads and my heart skipped a beat. The book is out on 27th June and available to preorder on Amazon (link in bio), Waterstones and Book Depository (free international shipping).
“Talkhani offers a fresh perspective on living as an outsider and examines her relationship with her mother and the challenges she faced when she experienced hair loss at a young age. Rejecting the traditional path her culture had chosen for her, Talkhani became financially independent and married on her own terms in the UK. Drawing on her personal experiences Talkhani shows how she fought for the right to her individuality as a feminist Muslim and refused to let negative experiences define her.”

#SaltSlow is tugging me to places I didn’t know I could exist in. I’m in absolute awe of Julia Armfield’s writing. Thanks for the advance copy @kishani and congratulations on publishing this brilliant work, it’s everything and more.

I’ve been waiting patiently for these chapbooks to arrive and they are finally here! Dived right into DESIRES BECOME DEMONS because I love everything Meena Kandasamy touches. I’m equally excited for the other three titles (swipe to see), especially AGAINST HEALING. Published by @tiltedaxispress through @kickstarter crowdfunding.

☆☆.•°*°•.☆☆ 1 More Day ☆☆.•°*°•.☆☆
Xan was trained by his father Ares to be ruthless and lethal. As a kynigόs, he spends his time hunting monsters that prey on naïve mortals and foolish demigods. When the arrogant sons of Apollo tag along on a routine assignment, an easy kill turns deadly.
Forced to recuperate at the conservatory, Xan is surrounded by the abuse and selfishness of the resident demigods. All he wants is to escape.
Xan may be the son of the god of war, but his fighting skills are no match for the destiny the Fates have woven for him.

☆☆.•°*°•.☆☆ New Release by @rayewagnerauthor ☆☆.•°*°•☆☆ Aricela trusts no one.
At seventeen, she learned that promises are nothing more than lies, honored only by the weak or naïve. And Aricela is no longer either.
After Narcos destroyed her innocence, they took her life, but Aricela escaped death with a new purpose. As Valkyrie, she is charged to take the souls of fallen warriors and athletes to Valhalla to await the final battle. But souls need to trust her before they’ll follow, and Aricela has no trust to give.
When collecting failures, instead of souls, draws the attention of the Norns, they give Aricela an ultimatum. If she can’t collect, she’ll be stripped of her powers and sent to Hel.
But when she meets Chase, everything changes.
Forced to face the myths of her past, Aricela will also have to decide the fate of her future. https://tinyurl.com/l67l789

Floor 998
The world unwinds inside of me.
Moon rising and chanting,
owls whispering in the hour of euphoria.
Eagles crowching and hunting,
Black doves drinking their own tears.
I hear the heartbeat of the beginning
beating a senseless,
motionless drum
to the sound and sight
of singing angels.
The world unwinds inside of me.
Ru stretches my hand
and extracts my boundless soul
in the name of serenity.
I’ve become a menonite in my own
euphoric utopia
while the mockingbirds sing their little love song.
Please pray for me
As I stand above 998
In the name of Ru begging me to enter
The shadow realm.
My soul, your soul,
who are we to console
as I’m about to take the final fall.
When I open my eyes
on the silent side,
would you be so kind
to not cry for my name
even though I might be a little untamed in my little frame.
I take my final steps into my own euphoria
leaving a utopia clustered
in a dyslexic dystopia.
My living breath has been dismembered
into the plateaued faceless scream
of the beast-less so called fearless creed.
My mind became a dynamite like a
harping mennonite
when it said 4.48 was the time to
harp on floor 998.
Say goodbye – I’ve finally sealed my fate.

The woods near the main character’s house plays a huge role in A LINE IN THE DARK, so when I was writing the book, I went scouting for appropriate wooded areas. Here’s a photo from Harold Parker State Forest, which inspired many of these scenes.
.
From the book: “At the place where the rock meets the ground, the earth is a soft black seam. I run my finger against it: It’s damp, clumping on my fingertip like potting soil. I wipe my finger off on the rock and return to my sketch. I add an outstretched hand lying on the ground next to the boulder, the forearm, clothed in a black sleeve, disappearing into the panel frame. The fingers of the hand are curled up. Black soil smudges the fingertips, and the nails are broken.”

It is said that Da Vinci would write backwards as a means of hiding the secrets to his success…
…though I am not that elaborate, the concept is quite intriguing on this brisk Monday morning.

How do you capture your writing? Via journal? Computer? PostIt notes and index cards stuck all over your wall? Comment if you wish! Perhaps others might provide you with different means of organization…
