Currently trying to shrink a 6k story into 3k for an anthology. Whilst needing to complete another 10k for my own book. I didn’t know writing would be so mathematical 😁

Our leadership worked so well in the 1950s in Iran, and the early 2000s in Iraq. Is this just a deep seated stain of imperialism?

Perpetual war/perpetual chaos gives some people a perpetual job/meaning (and is one way to avoid that pesky thing called democracy)

Lack of sleep ultimately causes the sugar craving, as the usual hormones regulating sense of hunger etc are disrupted. It doesn’t help, but at least you know now

Does anyone have any good advice or resources on journaling. It’s something I’ve struggled to understand and get into.
Thanks

It’s cold, wet and miserable outside. You might find yourself sheltering in the Philosophical Cafe!

I know I’m late to the game, but just watched Fleabag. Was totally blown away by the writing, acting and directing. Simply brilliant.

It would seem the consistent strategy of most U.K. administrations of the last 10 years or so has been to devalue the country and to fuel communal violence so that the U.K. is worse than most places migrants and refugees come from. Then there are no pull factors left.

This is very true. And it put up scant resistance and fell quickly. But I think I’d know your answer about getting another ;)

Sometimes a quote will resonate. Sometimes it will inspire. Sometimes it’s just a leaf floating on the river as you fish.
