Why go on baby name websites when you can wander through graveyards for character name ideas.

Uncle did not speak of his humble origins. My presence must be an anathema to him. A statement in flesh and bone, not of what he had been, but what he would become if he were to lose everything he had gained.

Out on a row with the gig club and I’ve discovered that within the club there is also a popular Fairy Porn book club. 😁

My favourite writer who died on this day in 2015. Vimes is my favourite character (and it is very difficult to choose just one) and here is one of my favourite quotes.

Who’s your favoured character and do you have a favoured quote?

The Dry Tree menhir stands at the summit of goonhilly downs with three round barrows for company.

Today, it is dwarfed by the satellite station. Its unusual name derives from another landmark which has since disappeared, which I explore in my blog.

I had a lot of fun researching and writing these two blog posts. It all started when I visited a local standing stone and wondered how it came by its name, the Dry Tree menhir.

http://emcox.co.uk/the-dry-tree-menhir-goonhilly

Then that took me down another rabbit hole when I discovered a highway murder happened nearby.

As always, it's 100% Cornish. Let me know what you think.

I hope to have not one but two blog posts up by the end of today. One about an ancient standing stone and another about a highway murder on the moor.

As always, it's all about Cornwall.

I just halved my followers and following count because there were so many inactive accounts.

It’s a shame a lot of people try mastodon but don’t hang around.

I did a rather nice pen and watercolour quick sketch of Porthleven earlier today. I’d like to share it, but I don’t really want to put it up considering what happened last time. It’s making me feel shitty.

Oh look, another writer I need to block because they’re using AI slop artwork for their social media, blog feature images and book covers.

Bets on them using AI to write their stories, too?
