After six years, my Kindle has passed on. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late Kindle. It rests in peace. If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is a an ex-Kindle.

Just realised the saved copy of the book I've written 3 versions of & have been working on for over a year is missing the final 20k. Between my old laptop crashing in the summer & having back up copies saved, this version is the one saved the day before my laptop died. So I've lost the ending.

Reminder that I am closing to queries on the 1st December. This will be for all of December and probably at least part/all of January. Reopening will be dependent on workloads and if I take on any new clients from this batch of queries.

Watched Bladerunner again last night. Would have been so much better if they had gone with the original idea, that instead of origami unicorns, Edward James Olmos’ character had made balloon animals.

Books aren't expensive.
Writers are at the bottom of a large column of people making money off books.
We get screwed the most.
By the publishing industry and the fucking pirates.
You like books? Buy them, or go to the library.
Or there won't be any writers to make the art.

If I chuck out any of those cables, I will 100% need it the next day.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Glad things worked out for him after Ray let him go with a warning shot.
