I just love that my writing software tracks somewhat irrelevant stats like this. You can clearly see where my energy dropped off a cliff and picked back up. #scrivener

If you didn't know I have a podcast, it's probably because I've been shit at promoting it. But you can find it on YouTube, Spotify and Amazon/Audible and there are two new eipsodes on their way soon! Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0E4fE74...

Speaking of crochet, here's my current work in progress. It's going to be long sleeved, but cropped, with granny squares finishing the body.

We'll be opening tickets soon for the 2nd ever Wild Brains Retreat held in the Netherlands in May, specifically designed for neurodivergent business owners, entrepreneurs and the self-employed. If you want to be notified when tickets are available, sign up here: subscribepage.io/WildBrains

I cannot make any kind of a flattering face for a screengrab but happy to say there are two upcoming episodes to the Awkward Conversations podcast coming soon, one with Sarah Hendrickx (about autism & menopause) and one with my friend Dianna Moylan (about grief and terminal illness as a ND person).

She lived into her late 80s but I often think about how even "the lucky ones" who escaped Germany in the 1930s still suffered repercussions for decades after. I didn't know her well but I know she found joy in art and belonging within the Jewish community in North London.

My grandmother, second from left, having been forced out of their home in Berlin, then settled in the UK. However, after her school was evacuated, she was classified as an "enemy alien", and was interned for 6 weeks on the Isle of Man while her father desperately tried to get her returned to them.

Yay! Thanks to all the new followers coming over from YouTube. You can be the sky and I can be the old man yelling at the clouds

Finally transitioning from 2D to 3D crochet, I'm having lots of fun this January going full Goblincore. The jellyfish in the background was my first go without a specific pattern, and this unicorn was from my Mythical Creatures crochet book. Now someone stop me from getting into needle felting.

Meet Storm, either an emotional support cat, highly attuned to the needs of her person, who can tell she's been writing too long and needs a break, or... her bowl is empty.

Word count update: 27500 - almost at the halfway point!

The unfiltered documentation of my writing process pt 1: passed the 20k words mark a while ago, hated everything I'd written, decided to take a little break for a few weeks, weeks turned into over a month, got back to it today, turns out... yes I still hate it all 😂
