I have just joined Bluesky, but it does seem to be very worthy and very focused on the big issues of real life, so I don't know how long I'll last over there.

I'm doing it again already, spreading myself too thin. That's it now. No other sites of social media allowed. I already know I can't keep up with one, let alone two. (Or three, in fact, since my non-writing real life friends and activities are all on Facebook.)

Oh dear that sounds terrible! I've had weeklong migraines before and they were bad enough. I can't fathom what it must have been like to have them continuously for two years. I'm so sorry that happened to you and very glad that it's over. And yeah, you'd have to be superhuman to write with all of that and a full time job.

Trump (and Brexit over here) really put a spanner in my desire to write too. Somehow it didn't feel worthwhile any more, in a world where that could happen. But then I reminded myself that Tolkien wrote LotR in the middle of a war against Nazis, and I would never say that wasn't worthwhile. I think people may need human writers even more, in fact, even if it's yet harder for us to be found.
