I'm glad the saying is "better late than never" because, uh...

Well, let's never mind that, and get to the post.

Discussion time:  You know those days when everything hurts, you feel bad, and then an internal bodily system decides to stage a mutiny, probably out of spite or a surprise food intolerance?

Yeah, me too.

So, let's share something as inspiration for each other!

If you're a quote person, share a new or old favorite quote!  If you're a trivia person, share some new/fun trivia!  If you're a music person, share a new/favorite song and/or album (or artist)!  If you're a visual art person, share a favorite/unique art!  If you're a book person, share a book and/or author that you love/are discovering!

And if you're somehow none of the above, uh... share an animal picture!

Some writerly inspo? This is mildly spoilery for Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, but only in the Shakespeare's vague biography kind of way:

If you don't know anything about Shakespeare,

he had a son named Hamnet who died young, so you start the book (probably) knowing that, and when the kids get sick and the plague is going around, you're like: ahh. Well. This sucks. But it was so well done. The chapters alternate between POVs, and as they go towards the end of the first half of the book they get shorter and shorter, like it's ramping up to this inevitability you're dreading - this terrible thing that has to happen.

Idk! I just thought it was so well done. I still keep thinking about it: dang, she did a good job there.

Ooh, that is very cool! I love different uses of form and structure that really have an effect on the story itself. Also fun to know, because I've been eyeing it for a while trying to decide if I should add it to my list of books to check out--I definitely will now!

Recommending The Killing Code by Ellie Marney: lesbian code breakers take on a serial killer who’s targeting women during WW2. It’s loads of fun and it has some really likeable characters.

I’m also really enjoying the Cozy Coffeeshop playlist on Deezer. It’s very mellow and I’ve been writing to it quite a lot.

A book description created in a lab for me, fr! It's *also* going on my list!

Ooh, I do love a good mellow playlist. The gentle strains of soft and/or soothing music always helps with migraines for me, too.
