I love listening to my fiancee and our friend play Kill Team in the next room because it sounds like a LOT of complicated things are happening, somehow none of the words sound like real words, and even though this has been going on for over an hour they haven't actually started playing yet

Listening to my mother tell other people about how unfair the medical system has been to me of late and wondering where this compassion is when I need it from her??

People on the internet: actually if you write about something I don't like or disagree with then I'm legally allowed to come to your house and turn you into a stew
People in real life: I ate the first strawberry from my garden yesterday so that's nice, how are you?

Why is my stress response 'think up a new story concept'? Do I think the tiger will be so enchanted by my character work it won't eat me? That's never worked to date

Publishing looks glossy from the outside. Inside? It’s built on unpaid labour.
My first book is out this year.
