My latest UnCensored Ink read - “Sketches of a Boy” by @nuflashprose.bsky.social A powerful, painful coming-of-age story of a queer young man in the late 70s/early 80s. This one made me feel something - well done, Earl. @wildinkpublishing.bsky.social
I’m so flattered and thank you for reading it. I’m so glad that you liked it.

I dunno
Why write another novel (my third) that won’t be published?
I might finish it (I’m 130 pages in)
I might not
This might be it

I’m trying to finish this novel (I’m 120 ages on why not).
It’s been a year
Why bother
No one would dare publish it even if I finished it

40 years ago today, INXS released 'Listen Like Thieves.' Their global breakthrough hit #1 in Australia and gave us “What You Need.” Four decades later, it’s back, remixed and remastered for a new generation.
