My daughter described throwing something in the bin as a “parabolic disposal manoeuvre” and that’s just the best hing ever

Don’t live in London (or anywhere near) but still have friends abroad asking if we “feel safe” in the UK.

I do. I does not.
If you know any immigrants, and they talk to you about the process of coming here, and their interactions with the UK government: does it sound like a system of golden tickets, streamlined processes, jobs and houses being thrown at them without question?

My goal for this year was to finish a first draft of Ageless - which I have..!!

On read through it’s a bit lumpy, mid-paced and one character pops up after being killed off in the previous chapter but… it’s a proper bloody story and a damn good one at that. 💪

Oh maaaan! If you can get yourself a copy of this you should, it’s such a great tale.

I heard about the Lykov family, who lived alone and isolated in Siberia for 50 years, and tracked down a copy of this book written by the journalist who visited them every year after they were found.

I’ve really been looking forward to reading this one.

Figured it out on a dog walk...

An earlier (3 chaps back) incident happened without clear purpose, meaning the motivation for this scene wasn't clear.

Characters aren't furniture, they can't be moved around without a reason.

I'd forgotten that. Now I know what's happening and more importantly why
I’ve got a scene. I know how it begins and I know how it ends, but gaaad it’s a struggle to write.

Words are dripping out agonisingly slowly.

A sentence a day is still progress though right??
