On reflection, should just have restacked the whole thing. Perfect, and chiming so much with my experience of writing/motherhood/life you wouldn't believe. Just that I didn't say it. You did!

Haha. It honestly is such an insanity. Sometimes I wonder if 'writer' will one day come with its own diagnostic criteria, but at least it keeps the other things at bay a little, for a little while.

Imagine the length of that descriptor in the DSM!

haha. would take up too much space, that's why they've left us out. Also, I always want to write BDSM for DSM and I think that's likely a very different book.

I'm exhausted. Your writing again picks me up urgently and dashes me at unerving pace to the end that I don't see approaching. Congratulations, I think? For the school run too.

Thank you. I like that it picks you and up flings you down, and YES, the school run is such a joy after so long of not school running. I will never moan about it again (until I do).

You wrap words around darkness in such a beautiful, world-shaking way, Ali. Thank you for sharing this and all power to you for keeping the writing going in times like these xx
