One of the funniest moments ever was pulling up in the car to my VERY GAY DAD'S vacation home and a VERY STRAIGHT FRIEND asking what was with all the flamingos and bears.
I heard it was flamingo statues in the yard, but that might be hard to justify in the snowy North Pole.

I invented this thing called The Utility Mat
It’s a silicone work mat that captures excess mixed resin and forms it into useful tools and items (Stir sticks, scrapers, spreaders etc) instead of amorphous trash. You work right on top of it
I make them myself and sell them at keithdecent.com

If you have ADHD and have trouble getting to sleep, try drinking a stimulant like coffee before bed.
The idea is you stimulate the brain out of deficit, so instead of it trying to manufacture dopamine, it can rest.

I took stimulants, drank a coffee, and had an energy drink so now it's time to pass out because ADHD is A TRIP.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

This book is so gripping and so good, get a copy!
I have found treasure.
And by that I mean ARCs of my favorite book I've written. I'll throw them up, signed, on the shop for the cost of shipping only soon.
It's a rape revenge novel and how I processed my own disassociation post attack.

Your library will have every title in existence as soon as they discover the infinite money cheat. They're just trying to remember if it's kaching, motherlode, or rosebud. Also how do you open the console again? Is it ctrl+alt+c????

Writers — the ones you know and love, the ones you think of as successful — have sources of income outside that book you read. Most of us are a half-step ahead of the landlord at best, and struggling to maintain health insurance. We figure out other ways to make a buck.
I wrote 12 novels.
Hit #2 on the NYT bestseller list.
Optioned three works for film and TV.
Have close to 20 short fiction works in anthos.
I have 35,000 BSky followers.

The time to stop Amazon was about when Borders was still in malls.
