Been a tough week or two. The kind that makes you appreciate the small wins.
Last night I had five hrs uninterrupted sleep, and I had a decent day a work today. This is progress!
Tonight, I'm cooking fajitas, then going out with some friends to drink wine. Happy Friday!

I'm proper grumpy. January blues have set in. My twinkly lights have gone, I'm back at work and it's fooking freezing, so currently looking at sunny holidays, where the Bank Hols are, and planning what days I can take off to maximise my entitlement 😅

38 pages deep in one of the worst written books I've ever read. I usually finish anyway, but I've just flicked to halfway to see if it gets better. Too many books, too little time for that.

Come home to no running water across several postcodes in area, and potentially hrs/days before it's fixed.
Que, a mad hunt for bottled water. Local Facebook pages off the hook with posts where water can/cannot be found. Very reminiscent of the flour and toilet rolls days during covid.

Poignant, life affirming, beautiful. A bar has been set with this first fictional novel by @manvsbaby.bsky.social
I laughed, cried and left it feeling lighter. GORGEOUS!
Put it on your Christmas list.

There's plenty of room in this Supportive Bookish Folk starter pack so please share and comment if you'd like adding, or would like to nominate someone to be included.
Thought I'd have a go at putting together a Starter Pack.
These are the bookish bods I've found on here so far, who's help and support has been invaluable in the past.

Solid advice. Have a read, querying writers #writingcommunity
Thoughts. Querying’s demanding, then your book may go on submission once you’re agented and not sell, or it may sell to a publisher and then not sell when it’s on the market. (Or you may be with an indie publisher unagented, it doesn’t take off and you sell a very small number.) BUT you’re not done!

Decided this will be my primary app from now on.
Not interesting enough for Insta. Hate my face so Tiktok is a hard no, but won't be leaving Twitter until everyone I want to keep in touch with is here.
This place feels like home, though, and so nice seeing those who have been hidden for ages.

Yesterday was my birthday and I tweeted about it on X. I had the day off and time to share. Not a single person engaged, so I deleted it this morning.
No matter how old you get, feeling like the irrelevant kid never completely leaves you, does it?
This is why my imposter syndrome is bullet proof 😅
