Definitely. Fridge-worthy wisdom.
I'm still a bit vague on the three act structure. Start it, have stuff happen that people care about, finish it before it runs out of steam is still my favourite structure, and it allows for all the beginnings ends and middles you need.

Auditioning Playmobil characters for the role of Charles James Fox. Down to the last two. Both in buff and blue. Five o’clock shadow on point too. Decisions, decisions… (this is what two weeks of half term does to you)

Dictionary of the week: the Penguin Dictionary of Literary Terms & Theory. So tasty. Today’s definition is ‘interior monologue’. The voices in my head have been musing on how IM relates to the term ‘interiority’ in general after a class last night. (How) do they differ? Is one a form of the other?

Tuesday blues day: first blue sky post and first desk of my own in a million years. But no chair yet, so I’m lounging on the sofa admiring it and - obviously - feeling ten times more productive.
