I'm pretty quiet on this app at the moment. When I have social-media energy to spare I'm mostly spending it streaming my writing sessions on twitch. 😅
But know that I'm watching your posts like a sneaky hawk. Yes, you. Your posts.

It's been a rough week for me, but at least Civ7 arrived to soothe me through the worst bits. Is there anything more healing than abusing Deity AI? You can sail up rivers now...

Health for me is a house of cards, and some of the cards are currently on fire. Normal service (twitch, work, writing, walking, eating) will resume shortly. *dial tone*

Support the spotlight! My tbr moves sloooow, so all I can say right now is I love the cover, the author's great, and I'm looking forward to reading it. 😂 But these are valid reasons. Look at it! Look.
Just 77p, I might add.

Amazing how quickly the health karma fairy struck after my mildly celebratory post yesterday. Just about almost feeling better now, and the weekend is *checks notes* pretty much over. Fucking fuck.
Ah well. Onwards, and with more careful carb intake.

I cannot overstate how weird it is that after 3+ years of a worsening health condition, I get days when I feel 'normal'. By contrast I feel dangerously powerful, capable of world conquest.

Offline writing session this morning. Private! Camera off. Big old offline writing session - productive, offline, no distractions, no twitch, no... wait I'm just procrastinating through a different social media platform

RIP, Wayne June. I've been playing DD2, and it struck me again how amazing your performances are. Everyone stopping by the stream was struck by the art of the game, and your insanely talented narration was right at the core of that.

My day off streaming today! Partly because I broke my phone, and there's no way I'd wake at 5:30am without an alarm. Partly because I'm le tired.

I relate to thee, Wobble.
Wobble has 3 regular sachets of catfood in the morning. After that he continues to meow but, if given a 4th, will just stare at it accusingly as if it's the food's fault he's full.

MARTINS ASSEMBLE 📯
In search of a Martin!
I forget how this came to be, but I guess I dedicated the wrong book and had to redo.
Anyway, since none of my patreon members are Martins & I'm tired of waiting for one to come along...
I will randomly send this to one of the Martins who reply here.

Steven Moffat on advice he gave "Doctor Who" writers.
"Treat it like you own it" is such good advice for anybody writing for a major pop culture franchise. One reason that so much modern pop culture feels so stale is that the creators feel like they're worried about forfeiting their rental deposit.
