Congrats! Taking a break before you delve into draft 2, or is your first a solid one? Either way: time to celebrate!πŸ₯³

Have just seen Sinners. It’s transcendent. So drop whatever you’re doing, and go see it immediately.

Today’s research is on stone pele towers, Hume’s is/ought problem, and how Karst makes their stone paper.

Folk horror really contains multitudes.

More geese than ghosts so far, alas.

It wouldn’t be brave of me not to revise; it would be bravery for the poor person who had to read it 🀣

Good luck with the rewrites! I’m assuming you didn’t accidentally end up in Poole? 🀣

Day 2 as wonderful as day 1! Excellent presentations throughout both days, leaving me with lots to think about (and work with!)

Boxes of crisps on a shelf: there’s salted egg fish skin and salted egg yolk flavour.

Sweet Jesus. Can you imagine trying to work in an environment where people think talking like that is normal? Trying to stay sane?

Also, that starting salary πŸ™„

Agreed. This is a horrifying parent-child dynamic - and it won’t suddenly have become so.

If the son were younger, this would be enough to contact triage with a safeguarding concern.

I believe β€˜footling about’ is a vital element of the pre-writing process.
