A copy of Stars and Sabres' new anthology wrapped in blue tissue paper with little sparkles on it. Also a thank you card.
Mine arrived as a nice surprise yesterday! I have to say I love the sparkly tissue paper you wrapped it in 😊
Today we discovered that one of my favourite pizzas technically contains alcohol (on account of the salami containing white wine). Did not expect that. Husband was very bamboozled. Highly unlikely to be enough to cause problems given the salami only makes up 4.5% of the ingredients, thankfully.
The productivity hit to my day every time I encounter a stupid new Co-pilot icon in an Office product and have to figure out how to disable it is insane.
There is now a bloody irritating little icon that follows your cursor around everywhere in OneNote. Hate it. At least Clippy was cute and static.
Managed to successfully delete my tweet history, as I've been planning to do for a long time. It took two days!
Now my Twitter account is just a stub. Good times.
That said, the combat is difficult to get back into from a cold start (I did *try* to resume those DLCs), so if that puts you off, start 2 instead. They've polished the combat a bit, so it my be more intuitive.
You could always get familiar enough with the combat in 2 to go back to 1 briefly.
It is, yes! I managed to finish the first (unusual for me, too), but sadly never managed to do all the cool DLC because of a bug sort of caused by one of my mods (it really did not like mods).
I'd definitely recommend finishing 1, because 2 picks up where it left off, and 1's ending is excellent.
You finish your words for the day, and the whole chapter, to boot: 😀
There isn't enough time left to play Kingdom Come before bed: 😫
I really wish I'd been able to finish writing this book in an earlier trimester, because wow, the struggle is real in this one. Like hitting an instant brick wall. I only have five chapters left to go but I'm just *shattered*.
Losing an hour each day to get more sleep does not help 🫠
Kegel exercises and long-term money management: Two things that absolutely should be taught in schools but aren't.
This thought brought to you by severe frustration at the former, which we are apparently meant to do our whole lives, but no one really tells you that until you're pregnant.
Might be a long shot, but I would really love if anyone could help save my local Ukrainian-run art studio. The place they rent got sold unexpectedly and they're having to scramble to find somewhere new: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-kalyn...
Actually, did some maths: It works out at an 18-day average for just the English books.
47 days according to the Storygraph! Not sure what it reduces to without the Ukrainian books. But my speed for English books wildly varies thanks to a lack of reading time.
It took me two days to read Sea of Souls by N.C. Scrimgeour. It took me five hundred and forty eight to read Tanets Nedoumka by Illarion Pavlyuk.
Storygraph's end-of-year stats really bringing home the disparity between my reading speeds for English and Ukrainian 😅
(Although hilariously, this means it also took me less time to read a Ukrainian book from the 1800s than a modern one.)
Well, today heralds my least favourite task of being a writer: filling in my tax return.
Wish me luck.
Occasionally Alexa will say 'By the way, released new music' like she wants to show off her latest tunes.
Thankfully, she has not released any tunes of her own. She just can't read band names if they're in Cyrillic.
After an hour-long stress trying to get the dog to the vets and back, I am 100% not up for the 1,000 words I planned to write today. I want a bath and a nap. And cake.
Mine did that a second ago, but it's disappeared again now.
I'll be honest, I didn't even realise you could do that on Bluesky. I thought it was a Mastodon thing.
Tracking history detailing the movement of my very exciting post from Ukraine.
I love tracking systems that give me detailed notes on each step. It's so exciting to refresh reach day and see it's moved somewhere new! Maybe a little *too* exciting, but hey ho. I'd call it my gift to myself for finishing NaNo, but it'll arrive too early for that 😅
When you give an in-depth reply to someone asking for advice in a writing Facebook group, and it's the only reply for hours, but the poster chooses to reply to and acknowledge every comment except yours:
I'm starting to think I hallucinated writing those scene notes. I couldn't find them in any of the backups, and those seemed to cover all steps of me creating scenes! So maybe my brain is to blame, not Scrivener.
Slightly mad right now because it appears Scrivener has lost the content from all of my scenes after the midpoint. I spent ages fleshing those out before NaNo/the Writathon! And it had appeared so stable until now.
If you fancy following along with the story, I'm posting first-draft chapters as I finish them on:

Progress bars for writathon milestones. I'm at 74% of the first, 32% of the second and 21% of my overall book goal.
It was a bit of a struggle to write through 'that day' of news, but I kept going. My #Writathon progress is going pretty smoothly so far.
Russian occupying authorities in Mariupol announced plans to strip Ukraine's church of its unique artistic identity to align it with Russian Orthodox Church standards.
The St. Petro Mohyla Church is the only church in the world entirely decorated with Petrykivka paintings, an ancient style of
Yes, I had to put those sprayed edges on display!
A table with a purple tablecloth reading Frankly Writes SFF. Books and art cards have been laid out on it. Some stand on a shelf to one side.
I just ran my first ever dealers' table. A quiet event, but a great practice run and I had some nice chats. Definitely glad I got the big shelf for some verticality.
