Sadly I specifically told my year 9 IT teacher that I didn’t need to learn touch typing “because I’m definitely not going to be a writer”. Can confirm that my daily existence has been much easier and more productive since I learned to type with more than one finger a few years ago…

Genuinely and unironically, I love that we've finally made it through the "every movie is a Marvel" era and reached "every movie is an adaptation of two sentences Stephen King wrote on the back of a napkin while doing cocaine".

Drinking an ice cold pepsi because unlike coca cola, pepsi has definitely absolutely never done anything even remotely morally reprehensible. Mmm, a delicious glass of ethics.

Feral, bloodied, charging through a swirling blizzard... Just some of the experiences I had while writing part of this book. It's my first contribution to the Wrath & Glory line, having had the honour of working with some true Long Fangs of TTRPG writing. I can't wait to get my claws into a copy.

Cheese is the best thing you can do with milk, obviously. Whereas Cheese! (note the punctuation) is the best book you can read your kids. And now @thisisdouch.bsky.social is working on a sequel. Delicious! Pledge for a copy to delight your kids and/or spite a lactose intolerant nemesis.

By contrast, I recently started writing for TTRPGs and if I was getting £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.

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

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.

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