Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

The @scottpolar.bsky.social are looking for a librarian. This is a rare opportunity! Work with (probably) the world's largest dedicated polar library alongside archive and museum colleagues. The dream 😍

Arrived in Oslo, which is not enemy territory* because we're all friends at the Roald Amundsen Memorial Lectures. Tomorrow, giving the Fram Museum a whole day, as there is barely any time during the lectures and it is full of great stuff. Then Nasjonalmuseet for 19thC landscapes. Then NERD PARTY!!!

For webcomics, please talk about them! Like, subscribe, tell other folks about the work you like <3
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....

I worked with Joe Gilland on Silverwing, my first real job in animation. He was one of the most authentic people I'd ever met. I've always been crap at FX so all the splashes and smoke in my book are 100% credit to Elemental Magic II. Thanks, Joe.

We can buy comics instead.
We could rebel by not buying their shit. Imagine that. Not buying stuff from people who make no secret their business model is basically 'rob the consumer'

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement.

Today I discovered just how much more work I have to do on the writing side, but at the same time, I am really excited to do this work and it will make the mediocre stuff much better. This is progress.

Props to John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams for writing the perfect soundtrack to Landing At Cape Evans. Odd choice to put plasticine chickens on the cover art, though.

Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm! They should arrive by Saturday and I will start packing individual orders. As the printers work in increments of 100, there'll be extras, so I'm keeping the shop open for now, but will close it as stocks dwindle.

One of my friends in Antarctica had brought a paperback of Worst Journey to re-read while there. He discovered his colleague had never read it so he tore it in two from where he'd got to and gave the first half to his friend to read. It's one of the most touching things I've ever seen.
One of the posts that got me flamed back in the old place was when I said I didn’t fetishise books as objects and wasn’t bothered if their owners wanted to rip them in half to make their baggage lighter or chuck them in the recycling once they’ve read them or whatever. Some people went ballistic
The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.
