Woke up in the early hours with a line that I thought would go well in my WIP. Sometimes stories are written line by line in the dark hours of the morning & that’s ok. Sometimes words wake you one at a time and don’t flow the way you want. But it’s working, the words are coming, slowly but surely.

Do I have far too many books? Yes. Did I stop into the charity shop on my walk today and get excited by 25p books? Also yes!

Hadn’t been feeling well but dragged myself out to the park with the dog and thought how striking this tree looked against the mottled sky. Almost like a cell under a microscope.

I’m going to have a crack at the BBC Writers room open submission call. Has anyone here got through to the next round and can offer any insights?

The fella and I had a day off today. Where did we spend it? Perusing the library! Came back with a load of excellent looking horror that’s been in my TBR for ages.
