A little upset today. My health and mobility have taken a turn for the worse, my back and my hip mainly, and I can barely walk today. So I've had to cancel Stirling and the torchlight parade for Bloody Scotland. I'm telling myself I can go again next year, but I'm still sad. But I'm also telling myself actually writing more of the book is as profitable a use of time as going to a festival to hear other people talk about books. And again, there's always next year. #writing #writingcommunity
