The @write-mentor.bsky.social #newsletter today is full of exciting #writing opportunities. But FW by @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social 'When the Well Runs Dry' resonated most. Last week was busy with family & needed rest. This morn I'm unusually lacking in inspiration.

Decided to join the other day based on this list of events. I will sort my life out to attend live at some point, but enjoyed listening to the #YAchat while I was cooking today. Going to need to listen again so I can actually write down all the book recs at the beginning.
