With a couple of love seats situated to pretend not to watch? It’s exactly the sort of thing you don’t put in books because it would be too random.

For someone who clearly enjoys tidy endings that must be a bit of a pain.

What’s with the stage lighting for the bathtub? Are they expecting you to preform wet burlesque?!?

Intrusive Reality Flash Fiction

This one is unusual for me, not poetry, a little bit of slightly creepy Fast Fiction

Codenames is great! Just know that if you are playing with married/long term couples they get split into different teams or it’s going to be hugely unfair… or I suppose potentially terrible fighting but that’s just supposition. The telepathic powers of long term couples though is real I seen it.

I know all of those except Superfight… ok I’m also starting to doubt Once Upon a Time, that is too ubiquitous a phrase to be sure of.

Neat Scotch and Sensible Shoes. Not a euphemism.

New post up on Medium, it's not my usual style way more prose-ish free verse. But it would be boring if I did the same thing every time. Even if it would be better marketing.

What psychopath does the floor and walls in the same material? With no trim or baseboards in particular? β€œIt makes it look bigger!” While simultaneously making it look teeny-tiny. Don’t go in there drunk you’ll loose all depth and stub something.

On a social level it is significantly cheaper to take care of people, feed them and give them medical attention. But the math is complicated and needs to be viewed over many years.

My Mum I think might prefer them stale. I’ll have to ask.

It’s ok, she knows she’s weird. :)

On one hand yes you are absolutely allowed the occasional self indulgence (it gives you something to talk about at cons and on podcasts even if it flops)

And at a wild guess will it work in audiobook format?? :)

I find this weirdly reassuring and inexplicably hilarious.

Well played, a bit obscure for many to get, but well played nonetheless the less.

This one is doing really well! For poetry on YouTube anyway. Regardless it has been excellent for my dopamine :)

And AI is hulking on the horizon devaluing human creativity.

Devaluing that human connection. Muting even the emotional release of knowing you might be communicating with other people somehow.

So I write for sanity and emotional release and human connection and all that good stuff. And I’m hoping that by the time I retire that my writing will be earning enough money that it is self sustainable. I’m not asking for it to be a living, I’m asking it to not be an active money sink.

Huh, sitting in a cafe outside of a train station in Austria and Nick Cave Where The Wild Roses Grow is not at all what the rest of the day has lead me to expect

North America grossly underrates cold cuts on fresh buttered bread for breakfast. Especially in regards to how difficult it is for a hotel buffet to fuck up.

Unlike eggs. Hotel buffet eggs are, nine times out of ten, an abomination.

Oh the paladin series is so good!

I really liked the Paladin series I thought they were all read well (and I really hope there will be more!)

And yeah I feel some of the other readers may, umm, be early in their career...

Hemlock and Silver was pretty good too, the fact it is in first person softens the need for multiple voices

Hrmmm…. Not sure how any T Kingfisher has escaped me, although it’s under 4 hours so it’s more of an appetizer.

Thanks :)
