The choice of Mozart’s Fantasia in D minor in Da Capo was quite deliberate. First of all it’s a fantasia—an improvisational style with no fixed form. It’s also one of Mozart’s moodier pieces. Most importantly (with respect to Da Capo’s themes): Mozart never finished it. #ToxicYuriVNJam #Mozart

I’ve read two books this month already, so I’m well on track to beat my modest target. The Haunting of Hill House was especially good and surprisingly, deliciously queer. It’s all for a good cause, and you can help! www.msreadathon.org.au/fundraisers/...

I took some time last week to re-read my own short stories, and I actually got a bit emotional. The fifth story in particular is where I explored some of my feelings about chronic illness, but the final story also delivers quite strongly on its message of self-acceptance.
