My biggest accomplishment of the past few weeks is getting a "high-tier" rejection from Asimovs.

Today has been productive. Finished the draft to a short story, got a rough plan for a second, and an idea for a third.
They'll keep me productive for a little while.

Feel like I've been writing with blinders on for past few months. Forgot that I can literally write about whatever the hell I want, and remembering that is pretty liberating

I've been working on my main WIP since mid 2022--I think. Between graduating my MA and starting work I've not been able to put as many hours into it as I want.
However, one benefit of taking so long whilst continuing to read, write short stories etc is it does a good job of showing my growth

My biggest regret is that, before leaving my home town for greener pastures, I never popped over to Wigan for a proper Wigan Slappy.
And popping a frozen pie in a barm seems like it would do a disservice to the greatest culinary innovation of north-west england

Say what you will about Ebenezer Scrooge but his pajama game was on another level. You can hate the man, but you can't hate that nightgown/cap/slippers/candle combo. Straight-up cozy.
