You'd think we'd be in French Revolution territory right about now. 🪓

it feels like LITERALLY EVERYTHING is wrong, yeah

I think it would emphasize the horizontal and the contrast of the single vertical there would be 👩‍🍳💋 but I *genuinely* feel like cutting the sky or adding a vignette would be a disservice to what it's already doing, which I love.

...I'm not at all sure I agree. In fact, the more I look at it the less I agree. I think if I were going shoot it differently, if possible I'd widen it slightly so it actually has *more* room to either side. I think the sky & the dusty earth are an INCREDIBLE framing for the single desolate bloom.

that was ADORABLE!

3300 words today, the proposal is up to 55 pages, and I've just remembered I need to also write a mini-synopsis for a potential second book, too, dammit. But it's time to go cook dinner now.

Our vet, Botanic Road Vet, in Dublin, was very, very good for our cat when her foot got horribly broken.

I my own self posted on that thread the story of when I was walking down Grafton Street in a knee-length black leather coat and a red beret and somebody said to me, "The Matrix called, it's time to go home."

Really still not sure that was a burn, tbh. :D

Okay, up to 1400 words (no, this isn't going fast, but I'm not trying very hard, either) and I've had lunch AND I thought it was already almost 3 but in fact it's only almost 2 so I've got an extra hour before I need to start dinner so I'm going to make the most of it. See you on the other side.

in a sort of good news/bad news situation I'm up to ~1k & am at 48/49 pages on the proposal, but not anywhere near the end of the scene >.<

(i'd have more words but i stopped to play pokemon & also went to see if i could see the very loud fast planes overhead. as soon as i went out they flew away.)
