I've started to take sporadic guitar lessons again after thinking I'd injured myself playing earlier this year, I hadn't, and at the end of my second lesson back my teacher has set me part of a Michael Angelo Batio solo to lear, is this a cruel joke

I'm Lawrence (she/her) and I write monastic dark fantasy/sword and sorcery/Jamesian religious horror.
And the greatest industrial horror is capitalism, frankly. The way it mulches people in the name of Line Goes Up and has ever since its birth.

![Artwork by Alexandr Konev, which is a fan rendition of Logic, the final narrative boss of Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. A rotund reactor, with a thousand blinking lights on its smooth carapace, and flanked by two, metal exhaust pipes on each side, supports an alabaster, humanoid figurine, cut into multiple geometric shapes with deep, black lines that make them look like shards of glass. Pearly white cables are draped over the figurine’s head like hair. Marble figures of exquisite detail surround the figurine. Blue butterflies dance in the foreground in rich, colourful blurs.

I finally have time to devote to radio again, but whatever illness I had to start the month has made it so I basically don't have a voice once I'm done with the day, so I can't record anything

Saw Castle Rat last night, it was equal parts heavy metal show, pantomine and burlesque. All the campy fun I want from heavy metal like this

Playing around with a melody idea that I like and realised I'd accidentally worked out the woah-oh bit from Herding the Call making this the second time I've accidentally just written that song. Maybe writing songs isn't for me
