The guy making my book trailer met up with me on zoom and immediately apologised because he can't make book trailer videos for school children and school projects. Like, I'm 25, but I appreciate the heads up!

(Kalowi and Fidra arguing about whether to go to the Land of Dragons)
Kalowi: We could die in at least 73 different ways. I made a list. What's your counterargument?
Fidra: Dragons
Kalowi: That... cannot be your entire argument
(Narrators voice: That was, in fact, Fidra's entire argument)

Things I needed to do today:
-Get up
-Eat food
- Walk dog
-Shower
Things I did today:
-All of above
It may not seem like much, but today was a hard day and I'm proud of myself for what I managed to accomplish. Even if all you've done today is survive, I'm proud of you.

A world of dragons in danger (well, half a world)
A pensioner with a plan (with very little actual planning involved)
And her grandson, who just wants to stay at home and read (but is coming anyway to keep his grandma safe).
"A Reluctant Adventure to a Land of Dragons", coming in November (ish)

How to name a villain
1) First syllable of your worst enemy's name
2) Middle syllable of your least favourite teacher's name
3) Last syllable of evil corporation name
4) Smash them together
5) Realise this name sounds stupid, give up, and call them Jeff

Did you know that you can just... start a publishing company to carry your books, and give whoever you want random titles? Anyway, I'm a CEO now and my dog is the employee of the month every month for the rest of forever.

Parent: My autistic child did something that seems odd to me, and I was wondering if you, an autistic person, could help me understand it. I asked my child but they are unable to explain it.
Me: Okay firstly you are an amazing parent, secondly, I wrote you a 3000 word essay on this autistic trait-

Following a week of The Depression (feat. anxiety attacks), I was finally able to do some writing without my brain shutting down and forcing me to do nothing/crawl back into bed, and I'm so so relieved that I seem to be coming out of a low without it dipping into Dangerous Levels of Low first.

Having like 15 mental health conditions/neurodivergences is wild bc you'll be in bed bc the Depression is happening but sitting up after 5 seconds bc ADHD and then flopping back down bc general exhaustion then jolting up bc anxiety like some kind of yoyo but with added existential angst
