I don’t usually get such a colorful wake up. Typically it’s coffee in bed & the morning news, which to be fair isn’t such a bad start, either. But I was happy I forgot to remove my alarm on holiday.
Something about an urban sunrise that gets the magic flowing.

Let me tell you a story, about the country I live in. It's a bunch of misogynists. The end.
Also, gotta love how if a man is drunk it's a legit defence, while when a woman's drunk it's the victim's fault 🤷‍♀️

Women are partly to blame if raped while drunk, a fifth of Maltese say
One in three say women make up or exaggerate rape claims

Does anyone else forget about mundane things like food or grocery shopping when on a writing roll? Weeks like these are when I’m thanking my lucky stars for a better organized SO than me. Walking to the kitchen & finding this after I hit 10k… *chefs kiss*

Next up: New publisher aims to disrupt industry by burning books.
Forgive the blatant sarcasm, but can we stop using the term 'disrupting' to legitimise what's obviously a stupid idea?

Monday blues? What be those? Today I’m going to do some writing here & then go for a nice, long walk in the sunshine. Happy to give up security, sick leave & all, for the freedom to plan my life the way I want to. Could do without that 🏗️ in the distance though 😂

The simplest of things inspire a new story. It’s been a while since I sat down to write for the sheer joy of it, but a walk within an old palazzo in my hometown of Żebbuġ, Malta, got my mind wandering happily again.
This is one of the photos, a folly overrun by gorgeous greenery.
