I'm not Polly Jean
But I am an author of SFF novels, even if I happen to be unpublished so far. I'm also autistic, so any help on the ol' networking front for someone who can't do anything else but write is appreciated.

“making it easy for everyone to produce quite good and quite similar-looking job applications or adverts undermines the signalling mechanisms that underpin the hiring process, leaving nobody better off and most worse off.”
Ugh.
Ugh.

It's the fees that were holding me back

If only his leaning in to a more relaxed arm position hadn't just nudged his elbow in to his mug and its moat of still quite warm coffee that was now seeping through his jumper to the freshly laundered white shirt underneath.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

Me, giggling like a goblin, strapping myself into the BBC Boss chair, commissioning non-celeb sitcom & sketch show after another. High concept narrative comedies by women! 100 shows with writers rooms! Tell whatever celeb blokes are doing a travel show they can make their own way back from Bordeaux!

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
