22nd Mar 2026. Is there a subject that's represented poorly in media that you'd like to cover in your work?

Irish paganism. I'm on it.

If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre?

I'd like them to feature a mix of songs from my favourite Scottish folk band Wayward Jane and soaring sad Irish airs on the fiddle, cello, and uilleann pipes.

@JayElbey We are.

My old dog's name was Blaze. My best friend ever. I miss him every single day. https://youtu.be/_is79DBQaJg?si=Ff7p-j75UFeudj5u

@therightarticle I wish someone would put him out of our misery.

@RadicalSocialWorker Good list. Thanks.

@susankayequinn It effectively stalled my career. Not my love of writing for my readers. I've kept going, and my established readers have stayed with me. But commercially it was a head-on collision with a truck.

@Broadfork @susankayequinn Thank you. I share those two givens of yours.

@Broadfork @susankayequinn I agree 100%.

@susankayequinn Several years ago, I decided to boycott Amazon. Haven't bought or sold anything there since then. Explained my reasons to my publisher, who agreed to remove all my books from there, and the books I've written since never get put on. It hit my sales like a truck, as I knew it would, and they've never recovered, but for me it was the right thing to do. I'm not claiming any sort of moral superiority here. Everyone to their own path. All I can say is that I sleep better for it.

@cmconseils I love this!

@Cat_LeFey I'm here.

@wendythedruid I just listened to your I Wanted To Run So Far Away. Powerful writing. Means a lot. Thank you for it

@wendythedruid Hello Wendy. Thanks for saying hi. Nice to meet you.

@moonrabbit Thank you. Gentle peace and care wishes for you too.

@Emmacox Thanks, Emma! Thanks for your invitation over here.

#Introduction Hello to my friends old and new. I've migrated here to this new account after 4-ish years on mastodon.social. So far, seems to be going well, with my followers list transferring over in its own sweet time.

I'm a novelist, poet, and playwright. My WIP is future hopepunk, featuring sail-powered cargo trade in a post-fossil-fuelled world. All my novels (two more in the editing queue) are available from this delightful small house publisher: https://www.beatentrackpublishing.com/?ref=DavidBridger
