"Lasst Ackhare gehen!", forderte Fasolah bestimmt.
Die Gestalt antwortete nicht, sondern zog nur Ackhare an sich und hielt ihr den Dolch an den Hals.

Gay lil' romance story I've been writing.

It's set in a space age future but I've decided it's going for a early to mid 20thC rich people vibes.

My grandma says it's pretty good ... so there's that ig.

Finished writing chapter 8 last night.

Dunno how many chapters it's gonna have in the end but I have the majority of the story planned out. Still debating how the climax is gonna come out tho'.

“I’m not sure if you’re actually aware that … I’m … trans?”
Her voice sounds unusually brittle, so that I’m not certain if I’ve understood her correctly. Did she really say “trans”?

#WordWeavers 13/11: What’s an everyday inconvenience in your fictional world that you've spent an unreasonable amount of time, figuring out?

It’s something I’ve mentioned before, about how in world where magic and the supernatural are real, it’s so very difficult to pin down which part of the lore applies to some particular entity, given regional variations in folklore.

From place to place, many similar creatures are referred to by different names, so the traditions for dealing with them vary accordingly.

Why do you write reviews / reviews for other books or why not?

I only write reviews when a book I’ve just read is either particularly egregious or worthy of praise.

For example, see my recent comments about The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville.
Certainly one where I feel the need to warn people off from reading it…

Praise-wise, every now and again I find myself extolling the virtues of the Expanse, a praiseworthy series indeed.

My Word of the Day today is Fulvous. Share YOUR words to describe this picture in the comments!

Fulvous, borrowed from Latin fulvus, glowing, bright brown (poetic), orange or golden in colour, sometimes green reddish-brown.

Roughly speaking, meaning: Tawny-coloured.

The picture shows a clear woodland stream gently flowing under an overhanging canopy of coppery autumn beech leaves.
Knotted tree roots and fallen russet leaves carpet the earthy bank in the foreground, leading towards calm, reflective water.
Sunlight filters softly through the golden foliage above, illuminating gentle ripples and stones beneath the surface.

Fifty shades of brown, perhaps.
Another word which does exactly what is says on the tin!

#PennedPossibilities 1183: Do any of your characters ever break the fourth wall?

Recently I’ve been thinking about this a lot.

I’m not sure it happens in my ongoing urban fantasy, but it’s central to my light novels How to Succeed as a Supervillain by Following the Evil Overlord List and Secret Life of Books.

I’m currently working on an idea for a third book which is going to be even more metafictional...

#onthisday

World Kindness Day was founded in 1998.

It’s an international observance introduced by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of nations' kindness NGOs.
It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates. Singapore, Italy. India, and the UK, where it’s fronted by David Jamilly who co-founded Kindness Day UK along with Louise Burfitt-Dons.

World Kindness Day has the aim of highlighting good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness for good which binds us.
Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.

Kindness Cards are also an ongoing activity which can either be passed on to recognise an act of kindness and, or, ask that an act of kindness be done.

It is a day that encourages individuals to overlook boundaries, race and religion.

So, to sum it up in a single sentence, be good to each other, and not just on this day, try doing so all the year round, and maybe we’ll make the world a better place…

Es kam ein Feuerball vom Himmel und schlug krachend neben ihnen ein. Wie erstarrt sahen sie zur Stelle, wo das Ding vom Himmel auf dem Boden zerschellt war. Wo eine Rauchsäule in den Himmel stieg, hatte Dormi gesessen.

I'm Finnish we're legally not allowed to show emotion unless someone has died, and even then we don't want to overdo it 😜😂

What's something weird your culture does that you don't think about? 🤔

My review of the novel "The Sword of God" by Mark Dawson

https://english.netmassimo.com/2026/11/12/the-sword-of-god-by-mark-dawson/

#WordWeavers 12 Nov. Which character would be most offended by how you've portrayed them, and what would they demand you change?

In all likelihood it would be Nathan.

He doesn’t like being centre stage, he’d rather remain unnoticed.

Hence his preference for lurking in the shadows.

Something which has become increasingly difficult for him as the story has progressed, much to his chagrin.

I’m not sure he’d demand I change the way I portray him, after all, as the saying goes, “Everyone Is Necessarily the Hero of His Own Life Story,” and he does get to be the hero in my stories.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 12 Nov. How much do you visualise as you write?

Not as much as one might think.

I’m subject to a condition known as Aphantasia, meaning I have an inability to voluntarily visualize mental images.

Note, I use the phrase, “subject to,” rather than saying suffering from, as I can’t say I’m suffering from something I’ve never been able to experience.

A number of other writers are subject to the same condition, notably Aldous Huxley, English writer and philosopher, who described in The Doors of Perception a lifelong near-absence of visual imagination, a profile strongly consistent with modern descriptions of aphantasia; Mark Lawrence, fantasy author; Yoon Ha Lee, science fiction author; Michelle Sagara, fantasy author; and Andy Weir, American science-fiction novelist.

My Word of the Day today is DECURSUS. Share YOUR words to describe this picture in the comments!

Decursus, from dēcurrō, to run, flow, move, sail or swim down; to charge or skirmish; to hasten, rush down; to exercise or drill (troops), + -sus, suffix denoting an action noun.

Meaning: running down, downward course, descent; declivity; hostile attack (military).

The picture shows a woodland waterfall cascading over stepped rock faces into a still plunge pool.
The falls plume into frothy white water, flanked by steep earth banks dotted with grasses, ferns, and autumnal russet foliage.
Glossy evergreen leaves and delicate ferns fringe the foreground, contrasting with the dark pool below.

Poetry in motion…

#Fantastic Prompts 12.11. What positive criticism have you been most pleased about?

My latest rejection letter included the following phrases:

I really enjoyed how witty your writing is.

I find it reflects a quintessentially British comedic flair.

Your writing style is smooth and enjoyable, being full of life and personality.

All blunting the pain of rejection.

Today arguably marks the 36th birthday of the World Wide Web as it was on this date in 1990 that Tim Berners-Lee first published a formal proposal outlining this thing we’re all currently frittering our time away on.

I believe the quote from the master himself, Tim Berners-Lee, demonstrates just how frivolously we are treating his marvellous invention, 'I never expected all these cats.'
