New Musings on the Block
I noticed recently that I've got 3,000 reads! Whoever you are, thank you. I wanted to mark this milestone somehow, but wasn't sure how. Then I read Lilly Cooper's Top Story about writer's block. (If you haven't read it yet, go and have a look - it's insightful!)

Run, Run, As Fast As You Can.... First Place in Tales Retold Challenge. Top Story - August 2023. Content Warning.
Please bear with me, dear reader. I am going to back up a ways, and try to find, in some meandering way, the point where everything began. A tricky thing, at the best of times, I'm sure you can agree.

Critique - Oppenheimer. Top Story - August 2023.
Roughly 50% of the frames were close-ups of Cillian Murphy's face either thinking hard about quantum, noticeably aging or rocking an amazing hat. Watch Barbie instead - it's an extravaganza of pink vomit with its own problems, but at least your bladder won't burst two-thirds of the way through it.

The Little Writer
The memory is a little fuzzy around the edges, but some bits of it are sharp. I am sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by a jumble of boots, shoes, sandals, trainers and slippers. Hunched forward over the pale plastic wellie-boot cradled in my lap. My pudgy fingers gripping my stolen treasure - a blue biro. I huff my fringe out of my eyes to better see my craft and avoid smudging the blue ink.

How I Fall Asleep Fast
I often say I am an Olympic level napper. If sleeping was an Olympic sport, I'd be in. I'm good at it. I usually sleep well. I can day-sleep. (Does that make me sound like a vampire?) I can get snatches of power-napping in under pressure. I can fall asleep even if the conditions aren't perfectly comfy, or if I haven't been able to have a bath or read a book or whatever. I sleep well even if I've been on my phone till late.

The Worst Heist. Top Story - June 2023.
My scales creak. I undulate over and around these bright jewels, these eggs. Each one part treasure, part ward, part of me. Some are mine. (MINE!!!!) Some belong to others, but I guard them just the same. My jaws clack and clench, grinding my anger into sparks that fly from my eyes.
