i don't want to be editing my manuscript, I wanna be finishing this book (ideally this ongoing EDS flare can get tae fuck). but at least I have my emotional support hozier discography AND AND my favourite bakery still had croissants by the time I got there (if any of you are ever in cotswolds or strat pls let me peer pressure u into visiting this bakery I stg its orgasmic)

I'd forgotten how much I loved the character work in this series holy fuck

brandon you’re stressing me out

incredibly kellila coded argument between spensa and jorgen there

Chapter 18 out of 59 plus epilogue.

went to waterstones to spend my points with no particular book in mind. found one about an autistic sword wielding princess with an irish folklore inspired plot. obviously i got it

He smiled. "I'm sorry for how weird I've been lately."
"How weird you've been?" I said from his lap. "Jorgen, I'm the one with a delver piggy backing my soul."
"Yeah, but that sort of thing is expected of you."
(perfect example of spensa and jorgen’s dynamic i fear)

in the conference this morning the guy kept switching between english and italian mid sentence and I was lowkey getting whiplash but ironically I understood everything he was saying language wise but scientifically I was LOST bc he was a mineralogist and my geochemist ass is absolutely not. my kell however IS a mineralogist and so I will make it HIS PROBLEM when he wakes up and will pester him with mineral questions
