Hey @johnlees.bsky.social - relevant to your last newsletter.
Nobody talks about failures.
I tracked every comic pitch I sent.
98.2% failure.
Every book I’ve made came from that tiny green slice.
Persistence isn’t strength.
It’s a flaw that sometimes pays off.

In case you've never seen it, here's the creepy Japanese Kleenex adverts from 1986 which used Jane Lancaster's original version of It's A Fine Day.
Rumour spread that the ad was cursed and members of the crew mysteriously died, and that actor Keiko Matsuzaka was impregnated by a demon 👹

I remember at the time, when they were always riling up the indie kids in the NME and Melody Maker, they said they wanted to make one perfect rock album and then split up and I often wonder what would have happened if they'd stuck to that.

Did you know you could buy a digital copy of my book 'Weird Field World'?
It's a mix of world building, fiction, maps, illustrations, detailing a future where earth receives messages from the stars, which turn out to be instructions for building spaceships.
