Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: I Need To Be More Patient With My Writing
I've recently started re-writing a story/novella/novel* that I started writing when I was a teenager... about a decade ago.
And I want it to be finished.
But I know that there's a butt-tonne of work to do to it (I'm basically re-writing the whole thing and making it less... melodramatic... as well as changing the focus a bit.)
*It's been the length of all of these at one time or another 🙈

The Bookish Diversity Link List 2019
Let's get moving my dearest nerdlets!
I didn't manage to make 2018's list all that I wanted it to be - not least because 2018 was stressful and hard as hell.
2019 though? Let's kick some butt!

Nerd Church - Listen Up, 2019, We Need To Talk
Dear 2019,
We gave 2018 plenty of time and patience and care. And it still stabbed us in the back (and possibly some other places...)
So, despite the efforts of your elder siblings (years 2016 through 2018,) we're still standing, and still not giving up on hope.
But how about you make this easier for us?

Micropoetry - November 2018
Ok, I know this is late, sorry, life kinda got in the way, but here it is: November's Micropoetry!
2 pieces for you this time round my dearest nerdlets!
(And maybe I should stop listening to so much Eminem... bit of an attitude here!)
As always, the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics for those using screen readers 😊
