Woke up because of an awful nightmare and it was partially fuelled by what I’m writing about right now. I’m calling it an exorcism. And this means it’s likely bloody good writing.
On the plus side, it meant I got to see this gorgeous sunrise in the Portuguese countryside!

I would honestly be able to write *so much* if my brain decided to stop trolling me 20% less of the time.
