Spare some good wishes for us as we head into the worst storm for 60 years. All our phones had an emergency alert a little while ago. And here in Edinburgh we’re right in the path.

No, Kestrel isn’t going away; this is a parallel thing. After the travails of getting JINX out, I needed some time away, and this other thing has been taking shape in the background for a while.

When I started the Kestrel novels with CHANGER, I really just made up the framework for the series as I went. I’m writing the first book in a new series right now and have gone about it the other way, with some series-related planning up front, and what I’ve learned is that I prefer it the other way. It’s more haphazard and needs more retrofitting work later, but it’s less cumbersome. Turns out I have a lot more tolerance for obstacles during the edit than when writing the draft.

“I want to write with daddy” has become a frequent request around here. Maybe you’ll be getting these Monday short stories for longer than expected if I someday pass the torch to the next generation.

Another instalment of Apple Intelligence garbage. Both of these suggested responses are inappropriate, and one is entirely wrong, given no more context than what’s visible. These technologies understand nothing, and will absolutely trip you up if you ever make the mistake of relying on them.

More #Supernote stuff from me. Some possible use-cases for dual Supernotes — Manta plus Nomad! I have both, and I find that there are lots of paper-based scenarios that make more sense for dual e-ink devices rather than one at a time. https://youtu.be/CscOiYo2KMI

I try to be eloquent. I try to be refined. But I’m in my forties and I’m tired and Scottish, so sometimes a transient frustration will lead to an exclamation I can neither predict nor censor. Please don’t think less of me.
Unfortunately — but brilliantly — I also have a precious little four-year-old parrot (my biggest fan) ready to document my verbal slips for all to enjoy.

Apple intelligence summary of a post, alongside the post itself. A simple typo, which your brain easily autocorrects via the surrounding language, causes the summary’s meaning to be partially inverted. Do not trust these garbage-spewing technologies for anything.
