Morning!
Yesterday, I picked up an old friend, The Platypus, and made some improvements, so now it has a shiny new cover and better internal layout!

Better yet, The Platypus is now FREE to all until Sunday and FREE on KU for always 💙

The #TwentyBooksChallenge!

Completed this today, so I thought I'd take a look back at the twenty books I chose which have influenced me, or stayed with me.
I suppose then, these are the books that have shaped me. Quite an eclectic selection 😄

We've always liked Menorca and this year we found a villa with an #infinity pool and a sea view. I like to do a few lengths before breakfast and got up early on Sunday. The first length normally takes a bit longer while I get warmed up, but it's Wednesday now and this is getting ridiculous.

Five chapters into my first draft. It's only taken about 15 years to get back to writing this, but I feel like I might actually finish it this time!
My biggest concern right now is all these words, and all this story so far... will it be worth it?
Can I even write?
Only time will tell...

‘That’s it! Thanks to #vss365.’

‘What?’

‘I was having trouble coming up with a title for my piece covering the first month of the new administration - but the prompt today gave me an idea.’

‘And the title is?’

Lone wolf at the back
The pack's true protector
Spots his offspring ahead
An unbridled jester
Atones for packs fool
Dines with frustrating
Cites the joker he was
Knows a warrior in waiting

Good morning!
I must catch up on my vss365 prompts today 😬 Been slacking a bit this week!
A Wordle a day is also back. I figure if I surround myself with words, they might actually make it on to a page in some sort of orderly fashion at some point 😅
