I'm wondering why women are called resilient and men are called survivors and there's a show called Survivor, but haven't heard of one called Resilient. Different cachet, I guess.

When I killed my father, it wasn’t personal. It was a public service. One important thing it taught my sister Edie and me, is how useful death is. He never bothered anyone again. #1stlinepit #C #Q #A #T #S #CON

Ravens…light reflected off of her violin as Yan wiped away rosin dust from underneath the strings. In between one glint and the next, Yan saw once again in her mind’s eye ravens circling into the sunrise, black against gold. #1stLinePit #C #Q #NA #HF #RF

I think I will tell my horses that they contributed to my writing being chosen as one of the 33 manuscripts included in the Cheshire Novel Prize Long List for 2023. They munched grass while I wrote.
