I’ve been part of a workshop on writer’s block for, wow, like 6 months now. Next week is the final week and I am going to miss my Thursday morning zoom call! Today, though, we were talking about habits, habit formation, and how not writing can just be a habit rather than necessarily anything huge […]

So I basically haven’t written regularly since, like, early February, when I was finishing up the short stories for And Then I Shall Transform. Then it was straight into the mayhem of formatting and publication tasks for that book, since I hadn’t really left myself enough time to do that AND write – see here

As a quick aside, the Kickstarter for And Then I Shall Transform is going brilliantly! It’s funded, we’ve hit the first stretch goal (which means I’ll spend at least some time over the Easter long weekend doing some artworks for the book, hurrah!), and we are closing in on the next!

There’s this glorious big dogwood tree outside my office, and right now it’s in full and glorious bloom. Honestly, it’s stunning. I want to spend half an hour comprehensively photographing it every time I walk past. On my way out to the carpark yesterday, I overheard one of the head gardeners chatting with a woman
…The other thing I seem to be really good at doing on a regular basis is forgetting lessons I have already learned. This week, in Things Amy Did But Should Have Known Better, more amines! I stumbled across this post from last year on the weekend, and was like, yup, definitely used to be smarter
