Guilty As Charged, Your Honour.

When I say I was bouncing off the walls and crawling around the ceiling when I got the comm, I mean it! I'm so happy my love for it translated! And Happy Nosferatu is going to be my new seasonal greeting now

I swear I have never been this excited about an advent calendar and just in case it wasn't clear I am a grown adult but I am bouncing around like a child.

@purrlockswatson made such a beautiful advent calendar already and then this. THIS.

Aurik has a yellow hoodie. His favourite colour. He's going to the movies. One of his favourite things. He's meeting for the first time a vampire who looks a bit more like him (Count Orlok) and that vampire is a movie star and they're watching his new movie and they got the big novelty coffin popcorn bucket and they got to bring the pet rats and and and....

It's so lovely. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Nosferatu to everyone in general.

Valentine's day cat card 💝

A card I drew as an example for my cat greeting card comms on Ko-fi!

You can commission a custom card like this:

💘Use the discount code 221B to get 21% off ALL commissions before the end of February!💘

What are your "Oh no, if people I know read this, they'll be concerned," writing projects?

I don't often talk about these original characters, Lolly and Stephen Wargrave, since their story is quite twisted and hard to make into funny posts. Well, I had the urge to cattify them today, and it's sort of funny, so here they are.

These gory weirdos are brainrotting me now, so maybe I'll blab about them again soon.

Oscar Wilde WOULD be a social media fiend. He'd be right at home there. Anyhow, I don't have a head for business, so um, this is my marketing plan.

The Importance of Being Promotional

Apparently, we at Purrlock Holmes Books are not good at marketing, mostly because I put Oscat Wilde in charge. He IS an early influencer and social phenomenon, but he's completely forgotten to do our advertising.

Anyway, the "221B" discount code expires this week, send me your comms this weekend (before March 3rd) to get 25% off your order:

The person who wrote this question was in my walls, I just know it!! I felt very, very seen - in a good way. (Ignore the side-eye medaeival owl. He doesn't know what's going on.)

That's from Neuropsycology Dorset's autism screening test. I'm not surprised to find that I'm probably not neuronormal, but I didn't expect to score that highly in both the ADHD and autism screening. C'mon, brain!

I'm wondering if I should get a formal diagnosis; I'm not sure how much help it would be. I know it varies according to person, so if anyone has experience in this, do let me know!

Ages has passed, and now he's looking at the even bigger box that says 'Series'.

Word count, bane of my existence

Now I have to spend ages fattening him up with descriptive prose and literary references…

Today, I worked on my most disturbing writing project that, if illustrated, should look like this:

And then I walked past a mirror and realised that, I kid you not, I looked like this:

Fudging reindeer Christmas pyjama bottoms...

I should rebrand myself before people decide I'm the "last person you'd suspect"-type horror movie villain.

Aahh, thank you for thinking of him, @greenfinchwriter 😭
