That’s kinda what I do. I tend not to worry about word count and focus on whether the story feels like it needs more or if I’ve reached a natural conclusion.

My stories tend to be below 50k so are more novellas than novels, but labels are meaningless in the end. It’s the story that matters πŸ‘

I’ve been sick with the flu for a couple of days. So as an adult, I’ve done the grownup thing…

…ordered a delivery of dino nuggies and and a big box of choc chip cookies to make me feel better. πŸ‘

Apologies for my recent social media silence. This week I lost a close member of my family.

Not really in a head space for writing or lightheartedness right now, but I will be back soon.

It’s freezing cold today, so I used some leftover spaghetti to make toasted sandwiches for lunch.

Heads up for anyone using WeTransfer for anything - new TOS means they're claiming a license to use whatever is uploaded to their platform for machine learning and the right to reproduce derivatives based on the work without compensation.

Wasn’t Labubu the runner up on drag race a few years ago? Lost to that queen who sounded like a set of bagpipes in a meat grinder?

It’s also possible all of that was a fever dream. We may never know…

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Q (an otherwise normal human looking guy) is standing on the bridge of the Enterprise D. He's wearing a grey robe and green undershirt. He's talking to someone off screen. (It's Worf)
Closed caption reads, "Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?"

Post yourself from a different era.

I just made a giant lasagne from scratch. First time I’ve done it in over a decade.

I just remembered why I stopped making it from scratch… I’m absolutely exhausted 😜

A meme that says: A disco ball is hundreds of pieces of broken glass put together to make a magical ball of light.
You aren't broken.
You are a disco ball.
