@amandabf.bsky.social it's an oldie but tagging you on the off chance you've not seen it 🦇🖤😀

@pops1971.bsky.social sorry to keep tagging you bud but you'll v much approve of this. @ecksteinish.bsky.social @florgoth.bsky.social @doomdisco.bsky.social @feebee69.bsky.social @markdoyle.bsky.social you may dig this too. Few things better in life than making music with the sprogs 🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤

Dawn doth break as the morning shift commences. Did summat stupid like 17 hours yesterday and was too fucked to sleep - at all, i mean - so i ain't doing that again. Dity calls though. On we go 💪

This is off the back of 14 months research, daily, after f/t day job, and kids; and what I'm doing now is making the first proper draft 😱😬 I'm open about my ropey mental health history, but i must be fucking certifiable taking this on, proper madhouse material. It's just fucking insane. Insane.

Tasks remaining: 36 separate word docs of varying size to repeat this process with. Tomorrow's one on Sex (inc tracking a timeline of AIDS through BEE's 8 novels), Queerness, Gender, Porn has, I can see here, FORTY THREE FUCKING PAGES and 25,000 words of notes. Could well take the whole week

Today. Started: 8.00 a.m. Finished: 30 seconds ago Achieved: a 9 page doc of 5000 words (notes) has doubled in size and been written up properly. Bear in mind I'm having to do a lot of cros-referencing, internet searching on the hoof, I can write 5000 words of fiction in 2 hrs if I'm flying.....
