Voisinage 1. A neighbourhood or district. A vicinity or nearby area. “As the paperboy wends his way through the voisinage, he keeps to the steady rhythm of the well-worn steps, an unremarked part of the morning rituals of familiar strangers.”

“Writers don’t write from experience, though many are reluctant to admit that they don’t. I want to be clear about this. If you wrote this from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.” Nikki Giovanni.

We've decided against further treatment as a) it might not work, b) it's super stressful (our vet agrees), c) it's £3k plus. So, we're giving William his best life. Sleep, all his favourite food, loads of head rubs. Ach.

A "seen unknown" is anything that has been in the story, on the page, but which readers either can't identify, or which has unknown context.

These can be instrumental in a reveal, especially in building tension!

Stay LOUD

“Trump delivered the longest State of the Union speech in our nation’s history. .

Yet he didn’t mention Epstein once, while Epstein survivors were in the room, staring him dead in the eye.

He wants us to move on—we won’t.

Stay loud.”
