Two in the space of six months when I worked in bookselling, or three in a year. That's a lot of influence that customers don't realise they have.

Keeping an eye on this one, because this is very much a skill I have NOT mastered yet.

Oh yeah I know that feeling 🤣

Get to know my characters, then let them show me their lives. Write it down as I watch, hope I capture all the right details. Hope that anybody else is as interested in them as I am!

If you're pirating books, it's because you're an asshole. You believe it is your right. You are wielding incredible privilege, to steal another person's work.

By my estimation I've drafted upwards of a million words (circa 500k of them subsequently typed up, edited and published) entirely longhand. It's the only way I can write anything worth reading.

There are some decent Labour MPs, shame that more of them appear to be spineless bootlickers.
