I have NOT met my November goal of getting halfway through my WIP. maybe I could have if I'd really pushed myself, but...I didn't want to 🤷🏻
I would still like to finish this book by the end of the year but I'm not going to run myself into the ground doing so 🫠

watching last night's Strictly on catch-up and seeing Carlos openly sobbing with pride is honestly one of the best moments of the series so far

hello #queerwriters
I'm not sure I wrote at all this week 😅 (in my defence, I started a new role and it used up all my brain power)
if I pull out all the stops tomorrow I might get close to my goal (unlikely I'll actually reach it) but alas, I can feel the telltale ache of sickness again...

His widow, Cat, has invited friends to leave messages and donations in his memory to Macmillan, Matt's chosen charity. I've helped set up a memorial page so please feel free to share this to anyone who knew and loved him.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.
If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who contributed so far. You helped make rent possible for us last month and we can't thank you enough!
We're still shy of our goal and rent is around the corner again. If you're able and would like to help, it would be wholeheartedly appreciated. 💖
