Thank you iPhone notes. Always there for the epiphany.
Only 600words today as one of my characters is demanding a bigger role and she is making a compelling argument that I must explore.

Anyone else having a real hard time with AI 'bands' on spotify? I always have music playing whilst I'm writing, but I will NOT support AI work. I support creators, not stealers of others work. It's getting harder to tell the difference though, I don't like it.

Enjoyed writing then tennis with my daughter (no longer a pixie-mermaid-faerie, trying to deal). She just wanted connection. We chatted, laughed and her joy spending time with me made me realise I need to balance writing and family better #WritingCommmunity

The focus thing might be a work in progress.
