Of course, Peter. My dream while in med school was to quit medicine at some point and devote myself full time to writing. I did quit medicine but lol & lmao I wish writing could sustain me financially.

2 of my 3 books have earned out their advances. In a good year I’ll make about $100 - 200 CAD total in royalties. Not counting the year in which I won 2 major prizes. Sales were quite good in that year although I forget how much I made on top of the $400 CAD advance.

I thought I was good with ROYGBIV! I have been shamed because apparently I don’t even know that one. Toh.

Lighting is certainly a factor. It would not explain it all in my case. Whenever I’m confusing a colour it’s usually in company, and they’re seeing a different colour than I.

And that, kids, is how I discovered I have some form of anomalous trichromacy (likely some species of tritanopia).

There have been many lively arguments in which I boldly misidentified a colour that the majority believed to be different. I now accept that I cannot tell the difference between some pinks and purples, and most colours on the blue-green spectrum. It has been quite humbling.

Thank you for helping me discover these poems.

This is fascinating, and a great to-watch list for me. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for these. I’ll look them up!

That’s an intriguing concept. Could you share a bit more about films with light as the main character?

What do you mean by “we have a few more months of this darkness”?

STOP THE COUNT!!

I hope you’re back in your groove and cooking again before long!

That plate of yam and eggs made me instantly hungry.
