What got in the way of your writing this month?
It was the month where it finally decided to stop raining. This meant I could get round to rebuilding the back fence I lost in storm Goretti which hit us with 100mph winds back in January.
However, it’s still been a productive writing month. I’m writing a new Corning gothic with supernatural elements and historical aspects local to the area.
Finally! To put it into perspective: they did this for the penis nearly 30 years ago.

Getting two full manuscript requests from super keen agents and then having both ghost me.
That felt like a writerly rite of passage.

Obligatory post grumbling about the clock change. But there are some positives in this perceptional time shift.
1. I’m now waking at a much more reasonable 6:45am rather than 5:45am.
2. More daylight in the evening.
3. We’ve regained that extra hour ahead of the USA, so an hour longer before I hear whatever bullshit is coming from the White House.
It's so easy not to threadspam! To demonstrate, I'll write a thread, but I won't threadspam it! 🧵
THIS post begins the thread. I've set the visibility of this post to "Public," but every other post in the thread will be "Quiet Public," that way it won't flood the Live Feed. To read the rest of this thread, you choose to (or not; it's up to you, since you're not being threadspammed).

Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?
I don't think of it that way. Bluntness, clarity and flow are different things not in opposition to each other. Blunt prose can be obscure. Blunt prose can flow, or anyway drive, forward. Flowing prose can be crystal clear and transparent, or oneiric, metaphorical, musical.
If I'm trying to do a particular thing, I'm not sacrificing any of the things I wasn't trying to do anyway.
It’s doesn’t help that I (probably) have hyperphantasia, so the vividness of the story in my head doesn’t quite come out as well in that first draft.
