Book things. Writing things. Random things. Probably cat things too.

I've had lots going on in the background for a while & now lots of very cool things are happening & I don't know how to announce or talk about any of it because I haven't mentioned any of it going on in the background lol
Anyway, there's a monsterfucker short story collection coming this Halloween?

I'm sad with Booktopia going under and the impact this could have on our book industry since they moved into publishing/distribution. But I'm pissed that I've had $300 of books on order for uni for over a month, didn't get them, and apparently don't get my money back.

I don't normally track my writing, but decided that from June I would add a writing tracker to my bullet journal and it's honestly really uplifting to see that while I only had 8 writing days on my novel in June, I managed to get 24,473 words drafted. Good job me!

Exams finished and with that the trimester is done! Almost a month before classes start up again and as with every other time my brain goes from 'intense study' mode to 'fun study/writing' mode I find myself wondering: Do I actually HAVE a desk under all these books?

Goodness me. I entirely forgot social media existed for a hot minute there. How awkward. But in my defence I've been doing some very cool things like studying, working on my novel, and streaming writing exercises.
How have you all been?

Maybe I'm too predictable...
Friends tend to recommend books to me by listing tags/warnings, knowing I like to discover the story myself. Today I got the following:
"Book rec: regency nobility, zombies, murder. Cons: lack of queer"
This is the third time I've received that 'warning' in 2 weeks.

Bingo is going surprisingly well so far!
One of my current reads is 'Killing Floor' which I actively chose for bingo and 'Hannibal Rising' which I just finished just coincidentally fit while I made my way through the series.

It's the first of Feb! I should probably share what I'm looking forward to this month!
I am practically vibrating with the buzz of excitement for 'The Fox Wife' and 'Fathomfolk'. 📚💙

The way I have been gleefully and maniacally cackling with schadenfreude the last few days as a former employee of Robinsons bookshop is honestly obscene but I refuse to feel shame over it.

As we enter into February it's time to show how my bullet journal looks for the upcoming month. I've gone with an art deco inspired look. My quote for the month is from 'Hannibal Rising' by Thomas Harris. I'll be sharing my anticipated reads for Feb soon. Weekly layout 👇

This is your gentle reminder, if you are an Australian (especially Victorian) bookworm 💙📚, you may wish to consider a different bookstore than Robinson's. Personally, when shopping instore I prefer Readings when I can get there. Or Dymocks.

(psst if you get called for jury duty and think the law is unjust, you can just nullify it by voting to acquit anyway, but don't tell the judge about it or you won't be selected for duty. Also if you get called for jury duty, don't try to get out of it.)
This is an amazing story. Houston criminalized feeding the homeless, Food not Bombs continued to do so, the city has ticketed them dozens of times and occasionally arrested members but hasn’t been able to get a single conviction. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Food Not Bombs trial rescheduled after too many jurors objected to $500 fine for feeding homeless
Roughly 90 tickets have been issued since March to volunteers with the loosely organized Food Not Bombs, which serves meals to people in need.

Food not bombs always doing the good and correct thing. Support your local branch and volunteer if you can 💪

Have been doing a real and proper Write ✍️ for the first time this year and oh! How good it feels to get the creative cobwebs out of my brain!
It even came with one of those delightful "oh, I wrote that? That's quite good!" Moments when reading over what I had already done in order to continue.

Was so lucky to see @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and FourPlay in Melbourne tonight and what a fantastic ride it was! Light hearted, funny, and so immersive and transporting. I left with my mind filled with worlds of time lapsing civilisations and skies filled with mobius strips of Milky way...

1/2 Spouse, upstairs across the house in the office, door closed from working from home. Me, in the kitchen finishing off dinner. I hear it, the distance sound of that music. The music from hell.
Standard Hold Music.
