Tiggy<p>Apart from a very short poem that kept me awake last night until I wrote it down, my current writing is the legalese text for a lasting power of attorney, the first draft of an annual report for a disability charity, a packing list, and notes for a conversation about funeral planning and choices for a terminally ill friend.<br>None of which is fiction.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NotWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotWriting</span></a></p>

I've been sort of lying down on the job. Laying new flooring down, actually. But I'll be back soon.</p>

My thoughts and intentions drift away like a fading dream. Too many interfaces. Too much competing for my attention. I even loathe the auto-suggest.

NullNoMore<p>Day 22-31. My brain stopped working and while I coasted for a while, I finally stopped writing. I'm okay with that.

Call me Bear<p>Today, I was able to recover some documents created on a Mac OS 7 almost 30 years ago. I think it was written in MacWrite.</p><p>The format was weird, but LibreOffice opened them with no issues. I have now recovered a story cycle from my college days. Soecifically, these are all the stories from universe 4 Numbers I.</p><p>This is archeology, not writing, but it could lead to more writing.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/NotWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NotWriting</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/4NumbersI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4NumbersI</span></a></p>
