Ghosts linger amid the fields of England, waiting to be summoned by passing feet. As a walker faces the spectres of his own grief, he's drawn into a struggle between the paths connecting us & the boundaries that cut us apart, in Walking a Wounded Land.

Proposal: we merge Shrove Tuesday with St Valentine’s Day to create a new celebration: St Pancake’s Day.
On St Pancake’s Day, you express your love and appreciation by making pancakes for your nearest and dearest.
Pancakes are way better than red roses I’m sure everyone will agree

Two whole chapters written today, one of recuperation & character reveals, the other of sneaking & tension. I'm happy with that.
Spooky is also happy, because I've sat still like a good human & made sure he had company.

So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

This is incredible.
Today's writing starts with my plucky heroes regrouping after the terror of combat & the shock of survival. Probably a good time to start dropping in some back story while I get ready to fling them into danger again.

The only reason authors make the main characters in their books authors is it’s one of few professions where someone can get away with doing fuck all for most of the day, hence available to solve that murder, have a whirlwind romance, or return to their hometown to get caught up in cosmic horror.

Brewdog is your classic failed "first-mover."

Their offering was above-average and sometimes great (e.g. their non-alcs). But they made the classic mistake /1

I think Keith’s spot on here. People want Brewdog’s beers to be bad for moral reasons, but while they’re not as exciting as they were, they’re still fine (though taste is subjective and clearly if you despise the brewers that will affect your enjoyment). As I said yesterday, I hope a buyer is found.
