Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters.
The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

Hello good people of BlueSky,
I've been very quiet recently.
New job looming, so normal tidying up and boxing off before I leave is taking up my attention and time.
And I've also downloaded my biggest writing nemesis - Football Manager. This would wreck my writing progress.
However...

My life is weird & I dog sit sometimes. And I firmly believe the outdoors, a dog, a crisp autumn morning and good music (Biffy Clyro) is one of the best combos in the world.
Hope you have fun today too...

I'm really writing again. Wrote 1800 words today of probably the best stuff I've ever produced. It feels good. I'd kind of forgotten the feeling..

Writing has not been a priority for most of this year. But relistening to 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' by VE Schwab is having a profound affect on me. It's now firmly my favourite book ever and is making me yearn to write again.
