My blu-ray software stopped working this morning, and insists I haven’t paid for it. This is truly the most bullshit timeline. Having the Chernobyl of blind privilege over here.

It’s actually a mild pain in the backside, because I need to arrange for deep focus today, which means putting films on the big screen on mute, playing ambient musics over the top, and turning the internet off.

Aaaaand I’ve just been reminded that I need to start the newsletter today. ffff

Inbox 10, because I’ve pretty much checked out of the human world now. I need to land at least one outline today, and ideally two, but I can feel the rewrite of HEAVEN’S FOREST 107 calling to me — I can see the new scene it needs, so I may end up going into that as well. Doing that now would buy me a few extra days to think about 108. It’s all about borrowing time, sometimes.

We’re down to our last bottle of red wine. Fucking Chernobyl over here, mate.
