I’ve ordered a refurbished second hand laptop and waiting for it to be delivered is torture - like what if I lose my momentum and motivation and forget my ideas for my new novel? What if I forget how to write??

One of the more important dates in movie history is today, Dec 2, 1941.
It marks the day Ilsa Lund walked into Rick's cafe in the classic romance 'Casablanca.'
