You may find it particularly useful to read Barbara Prainsack’s reflections on writing, and heed the advice: don’t write on Fridays!

@markflear.bsky.social very kindly invited me to explore what my writerly 'voice' is and is for for the wonderful Reflections on Writing series in the @nilegalq.bsky.social.
