Trying to decide between Parable of The Sower and Kindred for bookclub. Both are banging books, but I'm just not sure which to put forward for our next read

Just realised I referred to Anglian Water as Anglican water; that's being put down to dehydration induced delirium.
In other news, we have water now. Big win

Anglican Water turned off around water around 12 today, with little notice. Said it'd be back on a 1800.
Workers left at 1700. The time we'd get water back updated to 2200.
It is now 2125. No workers can be seen. So, unless they're holding back our water for a laugh, I doubt I'm getting it back.

Ever since I got an E-Reader for Christmas, I've been reading so much more than I usually would; it's wild.

My biggest accomplishment of the past few weeks is getting a "high-tier" rejection from Asimovs.

Today has been productive. Finished the draft to a short story, got a rough plan for a second, and an idea for a third.
They'll keep me productive for a little while.

Feel like I've been writing with blinders on for past few months. Forgot that I can literally write about whatever the hell I want, and remembering that is pretty liberating

I've been working on my main WIP since mid 2022--I think. Between graduating my MA and starting work I've not been able to put as many hours into it as I want.
However, one benefit of taking so long whilst continuing to read, write short stories etc is it does a good job of showing my growth

My biggest regret is that, before leaving my home town for greener pastures, I never popped over to Wigan for a proper Wigan Slappy.
And popping a frozen pie in a barm seems like it would do a disservice to the greatest culinary innovation of north-west england
