#MerryChristmas everyone! may your glass never be empty, your belly always full, and laugher ever in your heart. This year may have been a turd but it's also been an opportunity to refocus on what is most important in life. So, never be afraid to say no to the things and people that make you miserable, take a moment to be grateful for what you have, and hold the people you love close - even if close means screaming "I love you" at a socially distant 2M. Life is not a dress rehearsal, so live it, laugh hard, love fiercely, because now is all we have. I love you all. Sending giant totally transferable hugs from the both of us. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get pants drunk and stuff the bird, also I'm going to cook a turkey. #mippachronicles #pippabailey #mykpilgrim #bloodystockings #horror #festive #humbuggery #xmas #solinvictus #sin #turkey https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOOVlkFvIh/?igshid=qlct3nsf2yls

#myweekinpictures 23 December 2020 A surreal closing to what has been a year of writing on the walls in its own poop level crazy. I'd say things can't get any worse, but then when has that ever been true? Been looking into dictation with some fervour, and I think it's going to take as my preferred way of drafting. I talk faster than I type, also I think in my advancing age I may have become one of those arseholes who likes the sound of their own voice. Either way if you're keen to find out about it Monica Leonelle has an assortment of books on the subject. the most renowned of which being How to Train Your Dragon. We watched #Spell, it's a standard sort of horror film format, black-centric folky horror which was refreshing, we enjoyed the hell out of it. - totally worth a watch. Been baking, brewing gingerbeer, and revisiting @neilhimself 's masterclass. Which if you haven't done yet, is wonderfully enriching. I got all tarted up to do a thing, and after 8 months got to wear the new tie I got specifically for the purpose. And now, on this, the night before the night before Xmas I'm feeling pretty dang festive thank you very much. However you're spending the holidays, I wish you all the best, stay warm, be safe, wear a mask, tell the people that you love that you love them, and poisonous people to sod off, I love you all, Pilgrim 🎄 BLOODY STOCKINGS Bite-sized Horror for Christmas AMAZON UK: https://amzn.to/2KAMOCa AMAZON COM: http://bit.ly/StockingsAZUS GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43071485-bloody-stockings #bloodystockings #mykpilgrim #pippabailey #horror #writing #writerslife #2020 #horrorgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIg11plHUZ/?igshid=9obaay9ya2gh

Lying in the sun, starting the first draft of the @pugnaciouspress Bite-sized Halloween collection for 2020. Entitled Rotten Delights, in case you were wondering. 🎃 Needed to do something wholesome(ish) to get the taste of the world out of my brain. And yes, those are the Best Legs in Horror 2019 poking over the top of that there alphasmart neo, thanks for asking. 😁 #rottendelights #everydayishalloween #pugnaciouspress #pippabailey #mykpilgrim #bestlegsinhorror #bestlegsinhorror2019 #writing #alphsmartneo #alphasmart https://www.instagram.com/p/CA23clDllFT/?igshid=1ewy18ej1qtm5

Today more formatting, touching up and sanding the sharp edges off all the Bite-sized Horror books from @pugnaciouspress. Super excited to see all this madness in print. Photo is of the newly formatted frightmask "badvert" from Poisoned Candy Bite-sized Horror for Halloween. I remember being so utterly ratted when we put that book together in 2018. What an insane time. I can confirm after reading the book aloud in its entirety on video ( video is available for free on https://www.pugnaciouspress.com/) that's it's still a solid first offering of Halloween flash fiction. I hope you enjoy holding these paperbacks in your hands as much as I will. Things are starting to feel exciting. #bitesizedhorror #pugnaciouspress #pippabailey #mykpilgrim #veronicaabbott #horror #horrorreaders #horrorfiction #indypub #poisonedcandy #poisonedcandybitesizedhorror #horrorflash #flashfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFTgu9FLPm/?igshid=z7f1883cqsky

Got the rough draft of our fun little project done this morning. Now I'm sitting in the sun drafting introductions for a collection of my stories that @pugnaciouspress has commissioned for a 2021 release. In case I haven't harped on about it recently you can totally get in on some epic shit over at the Pugnacious Press #Patreon feed. At a single measly dollar, you can instantly browse through years of private journals, sift through a booklet full of all the bad shit I write to myself when editing my own work, instant downloads of audio stories, and listen in on story workshops and production meetings that have lots of swearing. https://www.patreon.com/pugnaciouspress #pugnaciouspress #pippabailey #mykpilgrim #horror #rancideggs #poisonedcandy #bloodystockings #devilsnight #bitesizedhorror #horrorfiction #indy #indypub #alphasmart #alphsmartneo #writing #writingcommunity #Leviathan #leviathancross https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XrJuKlGcB/?igshid=1mbgu42i2c37a

Pip and I are getting back into the groove, throwing down a fun little project for publication over at @pugnaciouspress. It's been really nice to cut loose and do something completely different for a change.

#myweekinpictures 25th March 2020 True, the pandemic is a shit show, but our time dealing with it hasn't been all bad. #mippachronicles #stayhomestaysafe #StayHomeSaveLives #pippabailey #mykpilgrim https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KsC9fl78m/?igshid=p6oi6h0bui0v

Seeing as the world seems to be burning down around our ears, we figured this would be the perfect time to get married. There were bigger plans in place, drunken shenanigans aplenty, a full-on tear through Stokercon, but with things being the way they are - we were most thankful to just have a moment to tie the knot in our own very mippa way. It's a nice day for a plague wedding. #mippachronicles 💀Social distancing and our Unholy Matrimony💀 we understand the importance of isolation given the rampant spread of COVID-19 so our wedding consisted of 4 people including us. We had cake and coffee in a wonderful cafe owned by our even more wonderful witnesses, the cafe was closed to the public. We don't intend leaving the house unless/until we have to or when we return to work next week. Stay safe and for fuck's sake please stay home. #covid_19 #mykpilgrim #pippabailey #mippachronicles #plaguewedding #plaguewedding2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DdzXPFzX8/?igshid=hwrnyi0nzbis
