Dervla McTiernan spoke about all the good things tonight: attic writing rooms, crime fiction and @StephenKing.
Thanks for visiting us in Ballarat, @DervlaMcTiernan!
It's a wrap on the #AnnualWorkshop2023.
Thank you to everyone who came together to share ideas, celebrate our achievements and plan ahead for an exciting future.
We will continue to collaboratively strive for success in our work to understand #darkmatter.

If Monday was a feeling, it would be:
1. Catching a sleeve/pocket on door handle
2. When your sock comes off a bit in your shoe
3. Watching someone sniff a bottle of milk and seeing their nose touch the rim
4. Finding a wet spoon has been in the sugar
5. Someone looking at the back of your trousers and saying “ooh, I think you might have sat in something”
Ways to say “I have no idea what you just said”
I see
Leave it with me
Haha, yes
Okay great
Interesting
Right...
Certainly
Say that again
Is that so?
Blimey
So funny!
Absolutely
Can you put it in an email?
Yeah?
Definitely something to think about
We'll see
*Just smile and nod*
Lots of people have been talking about how the internet is shrinking our attention spans.
I decided to lean into the boredom - and occasional bliss - of a long read.

For @esquire, I went searching for the secret machine behind @BarackObama's annual lists of book recommendations. As someone who worked in the publishing industry for a decade, what I "uncovered" shocked me.
