~Something that made me happy today: a perfect avocado for guac tonight. ~Something that pissed me off: more mailjetzky emails arriving in my junk folder despite me blocking them a million times.

I didn't quite meet my goal but I DID end up with 10,000 more words than I began with! Now for the next 10,000. And so on. Until the first draft is done!

When I was a little kid... we had to push a button on the TV itself to change the channel. (There were 4 buttons. We only had 3 channels. They were called TV One, TV2, and TV3 😅) There was a very satisyfying 'clunk' to push one of those smooth black plastic buttons.

Lil PSA to the sci fi fans out there, this is an amazing novella if you haven't read it yet!

If anyone is interested in running their own Kickstarter to publish their book, I've compiled a heap of notes about my experience in the hope that I can help others who want to take the leap! open.substack.com/pub/henrynei...

Watched the Runt movie (screenplay by Craig Silvey, who wrote the book) with the fam last night & we all loved it. Everyone acting at level 110%. Baz Luhrman but with more hand-knitted cardigans kind of vibes? Like Best In Show crossed with Strictly Ballroom. Also the dog doesn't die! All thumbs up.

Stumbled across a plot hole yesterday, dang it. Shuffled past super quietly and hoped it wouldn't spot me. Wonder how far I can get in this draft before I need to go back and fix it...

The true test of Bluesky's value for writers might be its ability to provide answers to obscure research questions, so let's try it: Can anyone tell me how much the votive candle fee was at city churches in the USA during the 80s?

I restarted my laptop and forgot to restore all my tabs in chrome and they're ALL GONE. I lost them all. I am both bereft and FREE.

Today the BCA tried to argue Victoria is the worst place to do business... and yet, as @grogsgamut.bsky.social writes, business investment in Victoria is growing as strong as anywhere in the country! #OffTheCharts Believe the numbers, not the spin. australiainstitute.org.au/post/sorry-b...
