I haven’t had a stay up till 1am writing session in ages!

My outline has an ending. I’m not sure if it’s the right ending, but I prefer to have bones I can rearrange and put meat on rather than pants myself in a corner.

There’s a squall battering against the house tonight. I’ve never been a fan of the eerie sounds the wind makes.

There are times in my creativity where I crave having people who I can talk to about my work.

Currently, I’m outlining a story I’d love to talk about. But I don’t have that community around me. They’re as disinterested about the made up characters in my head as I am about their very real children. So I don’t talk about my writing or my art. I tend to have conversations about it with myself in my head.

I’m used to being self reliant on my motivation. But it would be nice to have real company.

By the end of the year I want to set up a shop to sell my original artwork. I've heard that Etsy is a bit crap these days, and I'm currently considering using Folksy or Big Cartel. Would be very grateful if anyone has any insight into these options for selling art, or if anyone has had a good experience selling on any other platforms/services.

I'm beginning to realise this story I'm working on is turning into something akin to The Scouring of the Shire, but with Cornish mythology.

Extra grumpy with the Americans today since three military refuelling aeroplanes woke me up this morning. One even did a scenic circle of our bay. Why are they even here?

Is the USA and Israel capable of understanding that they are not only killing, maiming, and displacing millions of people. They are also giving Putin a massive advantage over Ukraine by reducing sanctions and ramping up oil prices (plus the USA fired more patriot missiles in a fortnight than they gave to Ukraine over four years). Plus there will be a global food crisis, as well as an energy crisis. And it’s adding tons of extra C02 into the atmosphere.

Reading is sexy now? Or do you already have to look sexy?

We are living in a period of political anti-intellectualism. But in pop culture, clever is the new cool

At the very moment Trump’s rambling speeches and meme–fied inanity threaten to overwhelm us, fashion, music and film are moving in the opposite direction
