Beautiful piece, I love writing like this that comes out a while after the book, particularly one that I’ve been wrestling with all year. Its conclusion still stirs anger in me that I’m curious about, feels less like atonement than surrender

Sons cricket was cancelled after ten overs. I don’t know where they’re getting their Hellenism from but a bunch of ten year olds were running around the ovals yelling “Knock it off Zeus!”

That makes sense, ebooks have been around a long time now. Maybe everyone got reading during Covid and now they want to keep microdosing

I got told that conventional wisdom when novels were king was that anything smaller cut into profits and looked less appealing on the shelf- like paying for a ticket to a 60 minute movie. But ebooks changed how people saw word count, so novellas have been predicted to make a print comeback for years

That’s why you write “the end” at the end. I always put my beginning right after the title, so it’s pretty obvious. And then in the rest of the book, I will occasionally have characters say things like “Here we are, in the middle of the story” just to keep it clear. Follow me for more writing tips

I’m always vacillating between “none of this is new” and “we need to go back to 2004 and destroy the forums before they metastasised”

Sorry sorry complete stranger here who had this pop up on my feed. But gen CBT practice would be no thought challenging for Os (no point, O don’t care) OR likely adverse events (not rational). Different approach for those things, don’t want to get stuck in arguments with yourself for no benefit

Does Fitzgerald work an example of a precocious young talent being nurtured by publishing? Bro went to Princeton and dormed with his future gatekeepers.

I just don’t wanna subscribe man. Someone invent the “here’s a buck for your story” button already. One click, no friction. It plays right into our brains desire to play the pokies all day but for knowledge

As my son wisely shouted when confronted by an open Gatorade in the men’s toilets at Adelaide Oval “if it’s yellow it’s definitely wee but if it’s red it might be ok still!” Congratulations on your trick
