At least none of the writing I've ever done has been this.

Except it's non-brand liquorice that I found unexpectedly in my desk drawer and it's the back corner of my classroom at 8am.
Chewing gum on the red carpet like Renee rapp except it's a strepsil and the pavement by my house

That feeling when you've just finished the first draft of your novel but haven't yet considered the seemingly hundreds of revisions you will realise are necessary. Bliss.

Ah, the 'overwhelm and confuse your victims into acquiescence' approach... Shame on you, consultation committee!
UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

Copyright and Artificial Intelligence
This consultation seeks views on how the government can ensure the UK’s legal framework for AI and copyright supports the UK creative industries and AI sector together.

Surely, when most of us did this, technically our parents owned the homes... (and we still panicked and enjoyed precisely zero seconds of it)
Always amazes me when people are willing to have parties in their own homes. For me parties are very much things that should take place in other people's homes.

I gave myself a goal of writing everyday; it has been three days and it is going very medium-ly. Oh well...
