GOTHTOBER I encountered the perfect gothic scene on my way to teach Romantic Origins and Gothic Afterlives. Walking through the churchyard on the way to the station it was completely shrouded in mist! #31DaysofHalloween

This year I've been in a reading slump, on and off. September's been really bad - I have only finished one audio book and no paper books. Some months I read six books, other months, eh, some pages, I guess.
Do any of you find your reading mojo fluctuates? What do you do when the mojo is low?

Yesterday I published an author newsletter with the headline 'Don't be a ****', featuring suggestiongs on how to be nicer: dvbishop.substack.com/p/dont-be-a Three people have unsubscribed since that dropped. Make of this what you will...
Don’t be a ****
Why? Because nobody likes a ****

It's tempting to track word count but it really isn't a reliable indicator of progress (though if no words at all are getting written... 😬). Today I only added about 900w to my draft but two scenes are 100x times better and are finished (by which I mean i have a first draft). Progress!

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

Today I was discussing this topic with MrK.
Me: I'm basically a musty goblin with anxiety.
Him: Aww I wouldn't say you were musty.

Dear world. I know I sound and look like someone who can administrate, organise and etiquette all day long but appearances can be deceptive. I have spent my whole professional life in one shrub or another and that is not a euphemism.

Proposal: puce and chartreuse should swap names.
This thought brought to you by describing the sickly greenish-yellow colour of uranium glass.
Added benefit - large amounts of basically harmless confusion which would be a nice change from all the harmful confusion.

It's oddly charming that a dude's complaint about shitty copper has become an internet meme 4000 years later.
People who otherwise wouldn't give the smallest damn about cuneiform are making jokes about it. Love it.

Very important info for eg women in violent relationships who maintain a secret phone. Please pass along.
If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb.
The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts
