In day-to-day life, creative is more of a hygiene requirement like showering or flossing for me. It's something I have to do to stay healthy and happy, and I arranged my life and made sacrifices to make time and space to write. Most days it's not fun in itself, though, like gaming, reading, or often even my day job.

I do enjoy the writing process when it hits the right notes and I often love the results, but it can be difficult and nerve-wracking. Most days it's something I get done and out of the way so I can get a move on and relax for the rest of the day. Does this make me a weirdo? 🤔 @writers

@ljwrites @writers I can relate. Even if I want to write I fight it. It’s almost beneficial to me to start early when I’m half asleep and then it’s not an issue later in the day, but I’m such a night owl that getting up earlier than I have to is not really on the cards for me 😝

Is this pepper still good to use? https://www.diningandcooking.com/857108/is-this-pepper-still-good-to-use/

@dnc So technically it’s fine, but I’d be cautious with it. All my jalapeños did that last year and they were nuclear, fire bomb hot. I looked it up and apparently it’s to do with the weather, if it’s really hot and dry, the amount of capsicum increases in the pepper and you get lines appearing. It really sucked because I had a bumper harvest but after a couple of attempts cooking with them, I had to admit defeat.

I've never been that keen on cultured roses, but I do like the shape of this (that came with the garden when I bought the house).
