Finally joining bluesky so I can yell about this project! We've made a bunch of progress recently, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.
My STUNNINGLY-talented co-author and I are presently writing ANIMA - The World is Always Ending, a PRE-apocalyptic romantic drama about mecha waging war against eldritch beasts from beyond the stars and the mentally-ill gay women who pilot them.

So, after yesterday's fantastic day of baking and writing, today has been a mess.

I woke muddle headed, feeling very washed out and foggy. Physically I've had better days, too.

We went out to a friend's for lunch. I packed snacks for hubby, he needs to eat regularly.

I heard about Manuskript last night, a friend is trailing it on Linux, wanting to moving away from Microsoft.

This is something I've want to do, but have been glued to Word for my writing.

Last night my tech-support (hubby) downloaded the Windows version for me to try.

Anyone use it? Any advice?

Yesterday was a great writing day. I not only discovered a route to plot that I'd been searching for, but I wrote 1590 words, after a long drought.

With luck, this book will actually get written.

The current Discourse about "stealing ideas" makes me feel like I must once again tap the sign.

May your 2025 be a soft, slightly crumpled, gently rounded year. Cosy and comfy like a familiar blanket. Not something new and sharp with edges and agenda.

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power.

New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans
AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse
There’s a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power in residential areas

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.

Last day and a half, almost two days, thick fog and light rain. The fog has finally cleared this afternoon and it's still horribly humid. At least it's not 35°C again.

While on vacation I've been writing. Have managed to knock out a few chapters of my current WIP, a dark urban supernatural fantasy with the working title 'The Game'.

Stay tuned for snippets I'll just have to share and other tidbits. I don't normally share the process, but I think it's time to try.
