I don't want to, but the first thing I need to do is read this draft. Had to print it out because for some reason I find it impossible on the screen.

Pretty good stack of books I've enjoyed in 2024. The first year in a few that I've been able to enjoy fiction after spending so much time reading academic articles for my masters. There's a couple missing from the pile that were library books. The Housemates by Teun Toebes was a noteable one.

Andrew did an amazing portrait of my dog, Mabel. It was a really treasured Christmas present for a family member. Can't recommend him enough.

The light box is out despite my brain fighting the idea for some reason.

This should deal with the 5% of the time I'm grumpy for no reason. It will do nothing for the 90% of time I am grumpy for very good reasons.

I haven't had a personal social media account in ages, they've all been for projects. I don't know what to post so you can have a picture of my novel notebook. I spilt a whole cup of tea over it so it's a big dishevelled. The star is from a @writershq.bsky.social retreat.
