just putting this out there in advance of monday and tuesday for those who don’t live in the uk and like to make comments whenever we have a heatwave. 40C is not normal for the uk. our homes don’t have air con & are built to retain heat. 40C will be an absolute nightmare.

“writing will get you nowhere”. a statement uttered by my dad this morning when i told him about my dream of being a writer. it was designed to knock my confidence, but if anything, it’s made me all the more determined to prove him and anyone else who doubts me wrong 🫡💪🏼.

a writer knows they're deadly serious about a new idea of theirs when:. 1. a moodboard has been made.2. a playlist has been curated.3. a notebook has been bought with the intention of it being used for said idea and not placed among their hoard.

a national emergency has been declared + a red extreme heat warning has been issued. it’s serious and dangerous. we’re not exaggerating or just complaining for fun. our country is not designed for this kind of heat and if it does hit 40C as forecasters predict, it will be hell.
