sometimes I watch reaction videos on YT just to see people react to Bollywood (live) for the first time. you see the way they just go WHOA at singers like Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan and Arijit Singh and I sit here going YEAH.

was going to find another line from the fairy story for this week's #wipwednesday but instead you get this one-shot i need to write more of. 'Wide-eyed, she stared at Merlin and Lancelot. Equally as wide-eyed, they stared back, their hands and heads close together as if they had been – "Sorry!"'

its #wipwednesday, i'm 2 chapters into draft 2 (kids book so 5 to 6 chapters at the most) and 9yo is enjoying the story so far. this line in chapter 1 continues to make me laugh, just at the phrasing. 'And Kirpa still sat on a rock.'
