Came for the network, stayed for the nonsense.

I also discovered thanks to Jasper Peach that you can record yourself reading your newsletters for those who prefer/require audio. (I was so charmed listening to Jasper read their own words!) Going forward, I'll do this for both the free and the paid versions.

Enjoy my lispy, dulcet tones.

I kept saying to myself I wanted it done (to this point) by the end of November, and here I am, a week early.

Trying (No, *really* trying) to have a breather before launching into something else.

I want to nap, to faff, to not think that I'm only of value when I'm sitting at my desk.

But this week I reached a point where I've taken it as far as I can without some much more intensive feedback and a vision for it that reaches beyond what I can see for it on my own.

I'm so thrilled.

While I was only able to remove 40k, it was still a good effort! Then I had two of my writer's group offer to read the whole thing start to finish, and with their feedback I was able to fill some gaps, fix some issues, and trim some more.

Lordy! That makes me feel tired*

Indeed!

But it's nice to be able to buy myself a little treat every now and then...

Yeah everything is saved in OneDrive (which I'm now worried about what they do with the files they store) but it wouldn't let me turn that on for the document because of the communication experience setting.

Need to find something else now.

I maintain I know many things. Especially about queer things. However, I'm clearly being asked the wrong questions whenever it becomes a competition.

This banana with 'queer' written on it was the last place trophy at the last trivia I attempted to win, which was 'The Big Queer Quiz'.

Haha. I cannot promise I'll be consistently present, but I'll likely be more active than I was in the other one. 😅
