Where’s My Flipping Tea?
Books, writing, SFF, and much else that’s on my mind. Fuelled almost entirely by tea.
I drink an insane amount of tea.
I also write speculative fiction, think too hard about why some stories work and others don’t, and have opinions about most things.
Books I’ve loved, books I’ve struggled with, trends in SFF publishing, and the particular joys and frustrations of building worlds that don’t exist. And even a few things that don’t exist.
It all ends up here.
A few times a month, something gets written down. Some of it is craft. Some of it is reading. Some of it is just whatever’s rattling around in my mind.
If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, you’re in the right place.
