2200 has come and still no water

Had to carry gallons of water back like a medieval milk maid

No worries! I found the tub if you're curious about the brand etc. Interestingly enough, it's 0% caffine, so I imagine brewing it in Red Bull was a creative solution people did to get a kick

My fiancè is Lithuanian; it's popular in the Baltics, I believe. As such, we have some acorn coffee squirrelled away somewhere... I might have to dig it out and brew it with Red Bull now.

Badenoch reading Vimes' Boots Theory of Socio-economic Unfairness and thinking how much more economic growth comes from making poorer people buy cheap boots over and over

So far, the only things I've published are stories I wrote during my MA two years ago, so in two years' time, I expect to see the stuff I'm writing now out in the world😅

It's all about persistence. Rejections sometimes still get to me, but I now realise it often doesn't correlate with quality!

True, I like to try and forget as much as I can before another draft tbh. Hopefully I'll think it's amazing and needs very little work but that's unlikely ahahaha

Was too focussed on the idea that the story needs to be plausible like nah, let's get weird with it. My brain my rules

I joined Threads, never posted, and left. Don't think I even saw anything bad, just couldnt be bothered with it ahaha. I wanted to cut myself off Meta stuff but I also have peeps only on them 🙃

Almost did the same on here tbh, but I made an effort to follow people etc and it seems pretty chill so 😎
