A spanner in the works

Hi everyone. I have found a small problem for myself and I thought I'd update a little about it.

The device I use for writing purposes has decided to unexpectedly "kick the bucket". To list a few other analogies: push up daisies, bought the farm, found eternal rest, gave up the ghost, shuffle off this mortal coil, or cark it - the latter being my favourite term for it.

All jokes aside, I am unfortunately left without a manner to persue this creative outlet until I can get the ol' thing repaired - which is an unexpected financial stress I didn't foresee occuring.

I have got my works backed up on Google Docs: I did have this foresight considering the last time it decided to do the whirly dance with death.

If you feel it's placed on your heart to donate to the cause, I have a ko-fi link. This is absolutely no pressure at all - it will get done regardless, but I'll be limping on through to the next paycheck and be mighty sad about it.

Tldr: My Surface-Pro is no longer working - I am aiming to get it repaired asap. It is expensive, and I am having a whinge.

That's all from me for now! Love you guys lots, and I can't wait to complete my WIPs as soon as I get the silly thing replaced or repaired.

Love, Snail 🖤
