I was turned into a cormorant by Jeff- at the other place. Dealing with a large puppy and a large cat, both orange. Festivals. Live music. Books books books.

Crocodile in the sky? Photo taken on Glastonbury Tor this morning. It was ever changing again this morning at sunrise so full series to follow.

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

There’s a huge bonus if you join a class and go right to the front because it then disturbs everyone else’s sense of calm too. Ask me how I know.

Just made a decision to put out my second short story collection in collaboration with a new small press. It's all done and will be published in autumn. More news very soon. No advance. No "branding". Brilliant cover art and editing that I'm paying for myself. UP THE FUCKING REVOLUTION.

What’s not to love about the refreshing taste of closely guarded secret? Mmmm. I was thinking more like green top put through a Sodastream so suspect we’ve had very different upbringings 😀😀😀

Writing for love as a mechanism to find your art (and fellow weirdos) and not necessarily for commercial success… probably not a publishing how to guide top tip?

We are meaningfully post scarcity on a technological level in a way that makes the inequality of distribution only more of a crime. We live in a time when every famine and starvation event is purely political.

Lovely of Richard to say this but I’m sure he must be lying here because someone else popped in to tell me it’s not funny and they seemed to be a person who is very sure about the rightness of their opinions about everything.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.
