This year I’m going to be ruthless with my DNR’s. I already set up a Did-Not-Read shelf on Goodreads.

I’m in revision hell right now. On my way from first draft to second draft for my novel.

Trying to keep track & continuity of my characters was getting very hard. So I did up a little who’s-who of the main ones.

Huge milestone for me. First draft complete.

Weighs in at 169,600 words.

That is 9 months of work.

I can already hear the literary agents gasping in horror.

Cooked pancakes for breakfast. Got out toppings so we could each decorate. Theresa’s looked so artful with the red berries and white cream. Mine looked like a car crash (not pictured). 🥴🤭

Succulent terrarium. It sounds like a code word for some clandestine military operation. But it was in fact our Saturday.

We picked out cactii. We tweezed and tiny-spaded. And then this was as the result

I had coffee with a writer friend yesterday. He had a brand new gleam in his eye, and was leaning in like I haven’t seen for a while. (He’d had some family heartbreaks).

It was due to news of a publisher interested in a novel he has on the shelf.

I want that gleam for me.

Got 2 scenes written this week.

But it’s been tough. The day job I have really sucker punched me.

Many of my colleagues were laid off and my mirror neurons have been dumping on me pretty hard.

But, now it’s the weekend! 🌞

This is our gender-non-conforming Highland cow Angus. It turns out he really likes porridge.

My writing set up. This suits me for getting scenes out and keeping focus.

When you are half asleep getting tablets out of the pantry and the name “Glutengard” strikes you as a good name for a fortress town full of dwarves…

The surly bread seller was in a good mood this morning.

I’m picking he got laid last night. Such a lanky doe-eyed kid, he’s sure to have caught the eye of some suitor, swain or siren.

Just saw Oppenheimer.

Hope and trust no-one says they enjoyed it.

Like Death Valley or open heart surgery it’s at once astonishing and quite the ride.

Another rejection. Great!

Just means I’m one more rejection closer to where I need to be.

Over breakfast I was hoovering up writer advice videos on YouTube. Jerry Jenkins, Brandon Sanderson and Jed Herne. Would love for more of these to be by women but YouTube doesn’t show those to me. Maybe after coffee I can look harder.

Luckiest breakfast. #foodporn

Piglet is waiting for toppings. I think she likes toppings mostly.

The Duffer brothers and Alex Gibney sit in folding directors chairs.

“It’s the 90’s, Russel Crowe, so get your cellphone off set!” yells Gibney.

Crowe throws.

“Lights, camera, action!” Calls a Duffer. Camera close on Rusty, massaging his forehead.

Birds: “You cannot see us”

World: “You’re right there!”

Bird 1: “Nope. We’re still. You can only see us if we move.”

World: “Wtf?”

Bird 2: “Yeah, nah. We’re invisible.”
