Okay, so I was playing about with Canva® earlier and came up with these. Check out the app if you're looking for a great DIY cover design. The titles/fonts are only works in progress at the moment, and I do not own the artwork. canva.com

Took a break from my novel because I moved country in October and, to be honest, I was having a bit of trouble fleshing out a storyline. 2 days of daydreaming and one 'crack of dawn' brainstorm and I finally have a coherent story! #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy #inspiration

A couple of weeks ago we had an icebreaker during my graduate seminar and the question was "What is your irrational fear?" My answer was "hammerhead sharks". And today in class I walked in and saw this:

@MarkHamill I don't believe much I read on the internet, but I *really* want this to be true. He looks absolutely delighted with himself! Is it true?

I just realized all of the trailers and marketing for #ObiWan only used footage from the first 2 episodes which means we’re completely in the dark from next week 😭

True, but you're you. You could post a picture of grass for no reason and still get thousands of likes, retweets, etc. It's so much harder when you're a nobody. Even the funniest, most clever meme could go nowhere.

Oh no, Piers! Please don't block me! I know I was warned, but my tears are killing me! Please, Piers, please! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Now I've (again..) explained these pix, anyone who sends me them going forward to make some fatuous nonsensical 'GOTCHA!' point is getting blocked. You've been warned, so no tearful 'I was drunk, Piers, please forgive me!' pleas for mercy if you ignore this directive.

Criminally underrated movie. I highly recommend.

Twenty years after release, @motelsiren revisits Bill Paxton’s chilling directorial debut. An eerie and unnerving, underappreciated performance fangoria.com/original/a-look…
