Three chapters, completed in May, June, August and September and all edited September 7th to October 1st. It's a three story arc as alternate ending. And I have given myself the strict deadlines to turn these pages in. Crazy. But there is life in the stories I chose not tell in the main book.

@dcmatthews.bsky.social dudeiccles, has the discord bestie chat gone away ? I get blank screen only

Editing. Writing. I don't make it easy. It's what i wanted to do ever since I could well... walking didn't really take for me but certainly since I could talk. I gave myself two years. This collection will be finished in December. And then hopefully we strap a rocket to it and fly off.

Part 9 finished on Saturday. Now the utter boring editing starts and we see whether what I came up with was any good. I've also found chapter 8 ready to go so I'll be handing in both very soon. It's no secret that I prefer creating it all. Editing feels like work. Works as a second draft though.

All i did was pop in and chat. You never know the difference you make. How lovely that I have drinks waiting for me just for talking. People aren't always shit.

Three dots are the worst thing to happen in technology since Captcha. They fill me with doom. What have I done wrong? It's bad news isn't it? We're meeting earlier aren't we? We are still meeting? Arrrrgh type faster! In the case of my Dad its just "OK thx" but seems to take him hours.

More Chapter 9. It's got to go where it needs to but writing God's be dawned. I'm going to write more romantic bubble stuff and make it future Simon's problem in the edit. Future Simon, it sounds like a you problem. In a bit.

I am doing outside things and minor amounts of peopling. I went to the other Costa and i think Chris' manager is supportive of my attempts at world domination. Which is nice.

Writing continues. I'm always going to think that the best version of Part 9 is currently scraped and ignored in my stolen bag. But this version will be mega because only I know that another ever existed. And now you do too, i guess.

Writing continues. Part 9 taking shape, no moments yet but I'll keep the pen in my hand hoping they find me.

Hello sky of blue. The book continues. For new and returning people, it's a consuming thing that has removed me from everything for about a year. I'm going until the voices stop. Chapter 9 starts today, and my notebook was lost this week, so it starts again... In a bit. 🤜🤛

William, it was really nothing.

New wheelchair day. Seven years and a slap on the wrist for the bee. Scrapped within seconds.
