I'm old enough to remember when this was named GRIDS. It was a terrifying time to grow up as a young gay kid. There has been so much progress made since the 80s, but there is still a long way to go.

For those wondering how much money Indie Authors make, today I got my royalties. $2.36. So yes, I'm retiring to write full-time.

Rumaging through my writing folder, I came across the first novel I ever wrote. It still has potential, but that's not the point. I came across an Excel spreadsheet I had with everything laid out, and now I know why it was so easy to work on. I'm doing it for my new idea to see if I get a push.

How does a first-term MP manage to get into the leadership position?
Kellie Sloan will be the new leader of liberal (conservative) party and the lnp conservative coalition.
Another woman. This is all a bit sudden with them selecting women for leaders. This is more than a test for female leaders in the conservative politics in Australia.

I sorted out my wardrobe today. Well, I hung everything up enough that I can close the doors. I'm going to have to do a full clear out given how much still doesn't fit in there though.
