A rant (and a bit of actual information) (Patreon)

This is such a non-productive post but it has to be a day when I have like eight hours free and blocked out to write and edit that the power goes out.

It's been an hour and apparently the engineers are not even onsite yet.

Funny story but this didn't used to happen. Can't possibly imagine what changed... (The Conservatives got in, that's what changed. Did you see those graphs about how the average height of five year old boys has ceased its upward climb and fallen off since the Tories got back in? Malnutrition isn't just for kids — though it extremely is — but also for public services!)

Anyway. I just needed to yell about this.

In relevant news, I have about four scenes to go on the draft of Dorley 37, and I've done a lot of second-pass editing, too. I'm so close!

Also, Emory and I are taking a break from The Catch for Christmas, so (assuming the power comes back on) I'll probably have a go at finishing one of the existing short stories once 37 is out.

Regards (and also: argh),

Edit: fucking power cuts killed my secondary monitor. blaming the tories for that, too.
