Photo dump: a launch!

MY WRITING DISTRACTION IS DONE. You can see it at @hinbusdepot from now until 21 Sept. PLEASE GO SEE IT because it ate up all my writing time, HOW DARE!!!! Take this as a mystical preview (cos I was too lazy and hungry to retake a better photo) so that you can see it in its full glory in person!

The worst part of taking the weekend off to be sick is the reluctance to start doing anything. Lol. Can I take another sick day??

It's Friday night and I've been sneezing all day. Not sure if I want to continue working or just stay in bed and read. (I don't work mornings so I do the night shift lol. It's also a public holiday!!!)

My parents: You're the writer, how is [word] supposed to be pronounced? Me: I dunno, I don't have to say it. I just know how to spell it.

It feels like things should be in a holding pattern but I have too many things to do. I should rush things out now so I can stop when it stops.

FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS! We're hoping to gather early funding to support printing our Milestones anthology. Support us by preordering a copy, whether in ebook or in print (Malaysia only). For a limited time, you can also grab a bundle of all our NutMag zines for the past ten years!

If I eat supper will that give me the energy to keep going?

Braced. Looking like a rapid decline.

Did something change in PayPal? I've been receiving royalties from Smashwords via PayPal for the past 10 years so this is weird.

Big question of the day: do I want to do some work or do I just want to nap? It's a lovely level of cold...

Today in book reviews I should have posted but didn't, I logged into Netgalley (US) and realised that I hadn't updated my review of These Deathless Shores that was published by Suspect in May. (I'm usually on the UK site, cos Commonwealth.) singaporeunbound.org/suspect-jour...

The city in Joshua 8 is called Ai, but the pastor is pronouncing it as Aye Eye (AI), and it's very amusing. "Go up and attack AI! I have delivered it into your hands..." Yes please and thank you.

Today's review is from JERRI over on Goodreads. Thank you, Jerri!

Dilemma of my own making: - wants indomee but there's none in the house - doesn't want any of the 926 types of instant noodles in the house - doesn't want rice - doesn't want to stop at the store on the way home either cos TRAFFIC - still doesn't know what to eat for dinner. I guess I'll starve 😂
