One habit that works for me: keeping myself stimulated. Exercising, moving around, drumming, changing where I work, switching from pen and paper to a keyboard. It's much more effective than trying to stay still and focus. #Neurodivergent peeps, what do you do to keep yourself occupied and on task?

Normally this cove is full of seals. Today it was empty. Stupid seal pricks.

So true. The demagogues on ‘the other side’ convince their following we’re awful people. What if they saw us celebrating each other and spreading joy more often?

When I joined Bluesky this 👇 was a central pillar of the culture here. Current circumstances are making it harder than ever to adhere to - but that just makes it more important. #Politics

Autocorrect will accurately change something like pzzrrdinnok into “Pizza for dinner OK?”, but will be absolutely stumped by something like “suprmarket”.

It's only the second #AutisticPrideDay since I became aware of this profound truth about myself. And the first where I actually knew Autistic Pride Day existed. Have a good one, #ActuallyAutistic peeps!

I see a lot of posts on Reddit along the lines of 'I want to write a book...any tips on how to start?' Peeps, just write. It's that simple. Just. Write. Something. Don't be scared about getting it wrong. That's part of the process. Just write. It's a journey - time to get moving. #Writing

Apple’s ‘wotz in dis image’ AI tells me two things about this beetle: 1) It’s a green rose chafer 2) It won Insect of the Year in 2000. Probably not this particular one.

If I made a cocktail it’d be called the Disappointmint. It wouldn’t contain mint.

Now that's a parade.

Going to replace myself with this for the rest of the day and see if anyone at work notices.

Literally everything a pound, even the shop.

What’s one thing that you feel you have a lot to say on, but no one ever asks you about?

Computer update minutes are like what dog years are to human years.

How to spell ‘bureaucracy’: Start with a B. Add 7-12 vowels, any combination you like. Cracy. #Writing #RewansWritingTips

Peeps, in case I get arrested - I’m looking up how to make gunpowder for a short story. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

I'm splitting out my various focuses to make it easier to engage with the stuff you're interested in. Website and Bluesky - Writing life, novel updates, short fiction, book reviews, general silliness. Medium - Social commentary. With a lil silliness. And all of it written by a real human person.

I'm not sure what it's called when you pine for something that isn't actually gone, but... I bloody miss magazines. rewantremethick.com/i-miss-magaz... #Writing #Content

A very good lesson 👇 I realised a while back that there’s a difference between feeling like doing something and feeling like STARTING TO DO something. My experience is the same as Helga’s: once you get going, momentum usually takes over.

Affective polarisation is getting worse. It’s where you don’t just disagree with someone’s views – you hate, fear and hold the person in contempt for having them. If we want to see lasting, positive change, we need to break free of this: rewantremethick.com/defying-divi... #Politics

Update: I'm in manic productivity mode right now. This is good.

I constantly vacillate between ‘nothing I do is working - I’m out of ideas’ and ‘I have so many ideas and they’re all amazing but there is no time to do any of them.’ Such is AuDHD life. #adhd #ActuallyAutistic

New profile pic. Trying my best to not look angry.

What's your top #writing tip? Mine is: you do you. Advice is amazing. Bettering yourself is brilliant. But people get overly prescriptive, and us writers can find our drive and will to create at odds with the 'commandments' of writing. Stay humble, be open to advice, but stay authentic.
