A quick #reintroduction for #fediverse13.

I've been dabbling in the Fediverse for ages with accounts on identi.ca, diaspora, friendica, gnu social & eventually Mastodon.

I love the community here & even though I might not post all that frequently, I love interacting with the wide range of users here.

This account is my 'personal' account, so plenty of #writing / #books / #reading / #general thoughts posts.

@lazylinux is my place for all my Linux posts & @merkaba is for all my programming.

With some time on my hands and a need to try and distract myself from things outside my control, I think it’s high time I make use of The Creative Writing Coursebook and try to make some headway with my stalled attempts at writing something ✍️

These cover designs from Vintage just look amazing. So far I've grabbed Out, but I most certainly want to pick up the others ASAP.

Finished #RaisingSteam and quite enjoyed it. 3.5 stars for what that's worth.

It's definitely a very emotional book for me, in that it's clear to see how Sir Terry's health was affecting him.

I still need to steel myself to read his final #Discworld novel...

I’ve dived back into #TerryPratchett for the first time in years with Raising Steam, and I forgot how wonderful #Discworld is.

I've been a huge fan of all things #TheAdventureZone #podcast for so many years. I've been a bit sad though that the past few campaigns they've been doing have just felt sort of... "flat" for lack of a better word.

I've also started up yet another Mastodon profile: @kuranes@elekk.xyz

Feel free to follow me over there for more of my non-writing / reading focussed posts.

But I'm hoping that if I can make some small steps towards diving back into my TBR pile and also sit down and do some editing / writing, I can make some positive steps towards my emotional / mental health.

Life has been grinding me down a bit over the last year or so, and I just haven't felt motivated to do much writing or reading.

I can't tell which I've been ignoring more, my blog, or my Mastodon accounts. 😰

Project Hail Mary is the first book in a while that’s just grabbed me from the first chapter. It’s a brilliantly addictive read.

A book recommendation. Picked this up recently and I’m really enjoying it. http://www.karriefransman.com/project/gender-swapped-fairy-tales/
