I can't settle on an idea to write, so I'm going to take a writer's nap and see if my subconscious can guide me a little. It doesn't need to be a new book idea; just a story will do at this point. I haven't written since late last year.

Read the headline β€˜unlock the secret benefits to walking’ without my glasses. Took me a second to get that last word right.

I've decided to give the idea of being traditionally published one last shot. Not that I've written the book yet, but that's beside the point. Turning 52 last weekend I realised it's now or never, so now it is.

I'm currrently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. It's a bit slower and more poetic than my usual reading fare, but I'm finding it engaging. Loved this line: 'Day breaks like an egg yolk, spilling yellow light across the field.' #amreading #goodreadschallenge #addielarue #veschwab

For some weird reason, I'm really craving alcohol today. I've been sober since late December 2016. I have no intention of drinking again, but today the cravings have crawled out of the pit for the first time in years to irritate me. I remember what hangovers feel like. You're not tricking me, brain.

2 years ago I was in London celebrating turning 50. Today I cooked sausages and eggs for dinner to celebrate turning 52.

There’s something really fun about thunderstorms on your birthday. It’s like the universe is throwing a disco party for you.

I watched KP Demon Hunters this afternoon. It was way better than I expected. If you're looking for a light afternoon romp this is a good one.

'Entire town' welcomes back gay makeup artist after release from El Salvador prison A gay makeup artist, Andry HernΓ‘ndez Romero, who was deported to El Salvador after seeking asylum in the US has been reunited with his family

I'm honestly surprised he was found alive after he was disappeared to El Salvador.
