Well, that was a *lousy* two weeks and a bit. Now, if migraine, depression *and* cold can kindly stay away until next winter, I shall be most pleased.

You're already doing it. Having been able to return here (after the great twitter escape) and talk to fellow authors has been wonderful ππ
Every time.
Nice. A more realistic one or something in a more steampunk brass style?
More cake *nods* #WeeknightWriters

Deep breaths. Stress less (yeah, good luck with that one Mae) *NOT* looking at the news.

Mine passed a month and a half ago, so still getting used to the cat shaped hole in my life :(
Haha, there's always space for cat photos. #WeeknightWriters
Agreed. As long as it doesn't try to suck us into the Twilight Zone while it's at it #WeeknightWriters

If anyone tells you that makes your struggles less, then they're not worth listening to (including that little voice in the back of your mind that insists that it's true).

Hmm, well, the weather's finally decided that spring has, well, sprung and my fingers aren't freezing when typing on the laptop, so that's nice.
Would have been good to say sunshine and kitties, but while there's sun, there's a sad lack of kitties.
That's a lot more than *fair to partly cloudy*. Ouch #WeeknightWriters
