I still can't post to bluesky from my PC, or even scroll through posts, so I apologise for not following very well or being supportive.

In possibly related news, I have finished my second draft in record time.

Sorry for silence today. For some reason I can't post via the website on my PC. Probably a good thing as I'm FRANTICALLY finishing next draft of the book.

I've finished the wretched Christmas book!
*1st draft edition. There is a HUGE amount of editing and smoothing to do yet. I will need to finish it many more times before it is fit to be read.
[Looks at calendar. Panics.]

People over the road had put out a traffic cone to stop anyone parking where they wanted the log-lorry to deliver a pile of logs.

Said lorry has just tipped the logs all over the traffic cone.
