First rejection in quite a while (not, I hasten to add, coz I'm some sort of subs guru). Forgot about that sting to the ego.
Gonna take a few more to callous up again, methinks.

Godsdamnit! This is supposed to be a *short* story. Short!
Stupid bloody characters wanting to buggerise around and do their own thing...
I mean it's good they're realised enough in my head to have their own, determined will.
But how the shit am I supposed to keep on task?

Levelled up to a level 55 human, this morning. +1 modifiers for INT, WIS and CHA. -1 or STR, DEX and CON.
Cake and beer will be consumed.
But, was reassigned to the next market research age group, at the same time.
Think I'll lean a little more heavily toward the beer side of the menu.

I know #nanowrimo isn't a thing anymore. But as I'd never participated, thought I'd give it an unofficial crack this year.

So bloody hats off to anyone who has managed 50k.

Apologies. That last post had appalling grammar. Note to self: never submit a first draft, especially as the orchestra is tuning up

A night at the opera, with the #TSO, for me and my wife, on this wet and windy, Hobart night. Puccini, Verde, Rossini. Should be a good show

Just wrote my first proper sex scene.
I'm normally a fade to black type of writer. But this was salacious and sordid and took place in a bathroom stall of a jazz club.
I just love it when the story takes over the writing.

FFS stop pissing money away on worthless talent and second rate remakes, and fix your fucking apps!
I swear I am this close to going back to torrenting
