By contrast, I recently started writing for TTRPGs and if I was getting Β£40 for 300 words I’d be laughing all the way to the (guarded by a dragon) bank.

Part of England’s problem might be that the flag is too easy to spray on things. Imagine if we had something closer to the Australian flag? I can’t see the racists taking the time to lay down a blue base coat before carefully spraying all those stars.

Travelling today while reading a Lovecraft story and I’ve just got to the reveal that the terrible dark thing at the heart of it all is happening *today*, but sure it’s fine, totally fine, not an omen of any sort.

BBC News story headline that reads β€œMission begins to save snails threatened by own beauty”. There’s an image of a snail with a red and yellow shell.

Writing my first RPG adventure. Made a typo while aiming for β€˜he leaps forward with a savage howl’, which autocorrected to β€˜he leaps forward with a sausage’. Sure, it changes the emphasis of the encounter… but I’m not 100% against it.

If I haven’t replied to your email, it’s not that I don’t like you. I haven’t actually received it. In fact, I would LOVE to hear from you.

Unless you’re Jason.

You know what you did, Jason.

So if you’ve emailed me and I haven’t replied, please message me on here or any other platform. (And if you *haven’t* tried to offer me work / no-strings-attached payment / a perilous quest into unknown realms, then perhaps you should?)

Friends, clients, would-be wealthy benefactors! It has come to my attention that some emails I’ve been sent have been mysteriously waylaid by the warp, en-route to my inbox, and I haven’t received them. It sounds like some made up bullsh1t, I know. But alas, I have proof.

A writing credit on a new radio show (for me) AND I get to spend all day writing for an IP I grew up loving? Good day to be a freelance writer. For balance, yesterday my car cost me Β£150. They can’t all be winners.

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while. "I wonder if it really is as bad on here as we all made out"...

First tweet I see is sponsored one for a testosterone supplement, with the undeniably arresting headline "this drained my man boobs".

So yeah.

This is good to know. For our Radio 4 sketch show I had to swap out β€œsouvenir butt plug shaped like Truro Cathedral” for the far less interesting β€œgiant dildo”. Still curious about whether it was the blasphemy or the specificity of sex toy that was considered too offensive.

Guys, try to remember that Easter isn't about chocolate or getting two days off work. It's about hot cross buns loaded with heart-stopping amounts of butter.

At my kids' school last night for an awards thing, and they had 'screenwriter' up as a viable career option! Obviously, I corrected them and had it taken down.
