We have Black Mirror season sevened. Consistently great throughout and surprisingly moving. 1,3,5 and 6 were the standouts for me.

Novel tweaked (again). I'm currently writing a brand new prelude chapter to fall more into line with the sequel to this actual original novel that no one's publishing and may well never do. That's writing.

These days, I make sure to take my time with my work. While I fully understand the mad rush to get published, I much prefer letting the ideas percolate a bit. I'm on my 6th version of this novel.

Aaand 10 whole days off. Paid too. After a winter that started with a breakup and ended with a family death, believe me when I say that I need this.

Podcast done. Super fun and fascinating chat. Not sure what I'm allowed to say at this point, but I hope to share it with you soon.

A tremendous storm just passed overhead. Thunder to make the walls shake. Forked lightning. Hail. Went up on the roof terrace to watch it. A stirring start to the holiday.

It's Book Quote Wednesday! This week's word is DOWN. Time to meet the inverted protagonist of @riengray.bsky.social's "Heart of Broken Steel", as Signe returns from death, hanging from the icy branches of a tree at the centre of the world... ❄️💀 #bookqw #BookQuoteWednesday #BQW 🪐📚🌈📚💙
