Me: “My work-in-progress is called ‘Dragons, Pizza, and Other Tests of my Bloody Patience.”
Sister: “I take it it’s a YA fantasy novel, then?”
Whatever gave it away? 😂
My brain: We have too many side characters. It’s going to get confusing, we need to cut some out.
My heart: But these are my support supporting characters!
Q: How many side / background characters is too many? Asking for a me…

It’s gone midnight & I have to get up to take youngest sis to school tomorrow … but I regret nothing! (I’ll probs regret some when my alarm goes off)
Until then, it was well worth staying up reading the 2nd (out of a stack of 3) book I got from the wonderful @Books_n_friends
Just finished Becky Chambers’ ‘The Galaxy & the Ground Within’ and I can’t put into words how much of an incredible journey the Wayfarers series has taken me on!
Also, Tupo is autistic, right?

What better way to spend a lazy bank holiday than with a book and a mug of tea?
Absolutely adored @EsmeSymesSmith’s Sir Callie and the Champions of Helston. It was fun, beautiful and moving - I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!

What has been your peak “WIP-adjacent procrastination has gone too far” moment?
For me it’s coming up with my characters’ usernames for their socials.

I keep having nightmares where either
1 I go back to school & keep getting lost / missing classes / screwing up exams
2 My cuddly toys (Spike & Lion) randomly duplicate
And like - no.1 seems standard anxiety dream but WTF is going on with no.2?? WHY is it so terrifying to me?!
Me, in Shop 1: I have so many spoons today!
Me, sat in the car, refusing to go into Shop 10: I’m going straight to bed when I get home. I need silence and darkness and solitude.
Had some ideas for my WIP and I was pretty excited to write them after work. And I had enough spoons! Then I wound up running errands, used up all my spoons, and then borrowed some more from tomorrow. Now I’ve got nothing left. Bugger.

Huge thanks to the local community, including our @asda Community Champion for their generous donations to make these rooms look so inviting ❤️ and shout out to @VashtiHarrison the Author of the Month in one room.
I’d have a little coffee shop with comfy chairs & free WiFi for people to relax / read / write / do homework
I’d host writing groups / craft classes. Local authors would do readings / signings / talks
I’d build a community
(But it probs wouldn’t happen that way so I shouldn’t)
Having one of those “I should quit my job & open an indie bookshop in a nearby village” kind of days.
I have a premises picked out & everything.
Send help. Or rational thought.
