I just spent half an hour obsessing over a 5-word chapter title like I don’t have a remaining 60k to rewrite/edit in less than a month. Worst part is, I’m still not sure about those 5 words. 💙📚

A lonely street.

My parents had a meagre record collection, but it included Lehrer's That Was the Week That Was. As a kid I died laughing, and much (not quite all) is still hilarious and pertinent. www.bbc.com/news/article...

bsky.app/profile/evol... This creature is a clear message to all science fiction writers that whatever strange, weird, and bizarre creatures you might imagine, nature is the true master of weirdness.
