I've been back in the graveyard today, squatting amongst the damp moss with a pair of forceps and my macro lens trying to get the best possible photo of Atheniella delectabilis. These are truly tiny. Here are the results. #fungi #fungifriends

I heard a teacher say he wrote every day not because he expected to write a poem he would want to keep every day but because it was the best chance he had to write poems he would want to keep every year
the honest-to-god real reason you should write every day is so you don’t have to remind yourself at great length of where you are in your draft and what’s already happened and where you need to get

Mijn roman Achter het masker ligt allicht niet op de schappen van boekhandels, mijn uitgever doet aan printing on demand, dat is daar niet geliefd en onbekend maakt ook onbemind, maar Orféas speelt er een belangrijke rol in en ik heb getracht zijn zang te evenaren.

In a Flemish folktale, there used to be a nobleman who had sold his soul to the devil. One dreadful night, the castle sank into the ground, as did the man who was sitting in his carriage. He still haunts the area, and it's said the bells of the castle can be heard on Christmas Eve.
