I was inspired during a walk yesterday where I saw I was inspired during a walk yesterday where I saw a seagull swoop down and snatch an abandoned sandwich from someone’s garden. This little phrase followed me all the way home. If I’m honest, I find seagulls quite terrifying, but I know they are just trying to find food like the rest of us. Talking about food, I wonder what I have in the fridge... #seagulls #poem #kidlit #childrenswriter #doodle #writer #writersofinstagram

Meet Cora, my halfling barbarian (who does a LOT of eye rolling) and Glory, her tiefling cleric (who is VERY ENTHUSIASTIC)! She really caught our characters in the moment and made imagining their shenanigans that much easier! #dndcharacter #dndcharacterart #ttrpg #dnd5e
Had so much fun playing Dr Frederick Littledown la Had so much fun playing Dr Frederick Littledown last night in a game of #Liminal I decided to do some (admittedly terrible) #cosplay of him! Frederick is a parabiologist who wants to figure out what it is that makes supernatural entities tick! Never without his trusty tablet, you’ll find him regularly drinking tea and hiding at the back of the group because he isn’t a very good fighter... #character #ttrpg #rpg

It’s a paranormal investigation #rpg game and I’m really excited to give it a go. Until then, I am just going to drool at the beautiful art work inside the core book and dream about the parabiologist I’ll be playing on Saturday... #liminal #ttrpg #roleplayinggames #tabletopgaming

Waking up this morning, I felt like a little bunny Waking up this morning, I felt like a little bunny sticking their head out of their burrow. Is it safe? Is the danger over? Where are the nearest carrots? 🥕 *twitchy nose* This year, no matter what happens, I want to be kind and supportive. I also plan to bake and eat a lot of cake. 🍰 #priorities #newyear #bunny #2021 #childrenswriter
