I attempted to make my 2 newsletters 1 (you know, like the Spice Girls) but it didn't work the way I'd planned. So back to regular programming.
Here's my latest offering of some extra goodies for those who are able to flip me a few coins a month.

Ooo! Pretty lights!

I just sent out a newsletter with some more details about the Q-Lit Festival in June, and a few other things... including how these lights will forevermore make me think of my Grannie. 💚

My #ReadThisMonth stack for February.
7 books (4 audiobook, 3 physical reads).
It's been a slower month of achievements. But this is a nice mix.
Thank goodness for audiobooks, is all I have to say.

'When showing up is showing your face'
📚
Sometimes you work right through your drepession, sometimes you retreat a little (or a lot).
Going through the motions is both helpful and so hard.
But that there are moments of joy mixed in.

My only writing goal for this year was to re-draft my memoir completely.
I finished the first draft in January, and I knew it would be a task as the first draft ended up being 150k words. I hoped to get it down to as close to 90k as I could.

I've taken to reading privacy policies of apps. Trying to find ones that aren't corrupt. It's amazing how many words can be used to say nothing at all...

Because I opted out of MS Word feeding the 'connection experience' or however #Microsoft phrase their AI hellfire nonsense, I can no longer have autosave on.
I will now be installing an alternative. Not having the option to opt-out of the AI cultural and environmental apocalypse is a step too far.
