I write characters I want to play but haven't had the opportunity. Like Fabuloso Tecnico. A Pro-Wrestler from Pueblo de Los Angeles, who, after a well-publicised falling out with his tag team partner SeƱor Rudos, came to Night City to lay low and train for his eventual and inevitable comeback.

Spent the last couple of days fighting my own body after a coughing fit left my usual background tinnitus turned up to twenty, and light headedness that lasted way longer than it should.

Went to see Mortal Kombat 2. Enjoyed it though it really doesnāt know what it wants to be, serious action or action comedy. It should be an action comedy. Best parts are Kano (like the first film) and Johnny Cage.

A brief aside as to how I know my ADHD is unregulated at any given moment. I have to count a certain amount of things. Say 90 people in a room. I know there should be 90. If Iām unregulated, it may take 4-5 times to count, with each attempt giving different totals. If Iām ok, itās just once.

BSFA Award for BestĀ Collection
Last night Blood In The Bricks won the British Science Fiction Association award for best collection. Given the calibre of works on the shortlist I was absolutely dumbfounded, and still am this morning. If you love short fiction, go check out those wonderful books, you're in for a treat. Credit: Vera Brook I'm so grateful to everyone who contributed to this book.

I love that so much was made in the early Ragnar books about how important the Spear of Russ is. Then itās made very clear in the last book, and in books since, how much he hated it. The 13th company laughing about how Russ would see how far he could throw it when he was drunk.
