I keep seeing videos from Dubai saying how safe it is etc, but what I'm interested in is that they all seem to be 'mindset' or fitness coaches or a combination of the two.
Let me show you how to go from less than 20k per month to 100k+per month etc
Are they all just coaching each other, or what?
Sounds good to me.

Well this is a fucking disaster, especially for book publishing.
Note: these are the very same companies that publishers are in conversations with, developing projects and selling content to (won't need to worry when they can legally steal it).
Any agents or publishers who follow me and do direct submissions, how do you manage the process of responding to writers, logging where you're at with each submission?
Is there software that does this?

Please help me spread the word too if you don't mind?
Yep, all shaped by the media

When Israel responds to an attack itβs called self defence, when Iran does it, itβs called retaliation or aggression.
Words matter.
Journalists are complicit.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.
The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.
seriously, there were daffodils growing and everything!!

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and itβs difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now heβs struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.
