pls support indies in crowdfunding if you can. I can't even tell you how many hours I put in to @the-book-bazaar.com (acknowledging it as a labor of love I did willingly!) and it's not like I got paid a cent for all of the effort of getting 22 creators together PLUS putting together my own project
Running crowdfunders is exhausting, especially in an age where most backers don't take a punt on projects from creators they don't already follow.

The whole point of crowdfunding was to support tiny businesses, but now it's yet more money flowing to money.

Toby Litt.

Legit this man can write anything. Can make you feel like you're are in so many different words, that are quite mundane, but you're pulled into them completely.

Apparently I'm blue?

The stories are told how people tell them. How your mate tells you a story.

And there's swearing. So much swearing.

Honestly it's write what you know.

I know I know, we've all been told that. But let me tell you, everything my lil guys have been through, I've been through, or someone I know has.

Except the time travel bit.

I wrote an anxiety attack while having one.

Hey I have a #FaveLineFriday this week.

The origins of why Dean calls Siri Sandra.

For context, Dean’s dad had an affair with his secretary, Jodie, then left the family for her. So Jodie got replaced.
