No cozy

No cutesy

No romantasy

Just one old biker

A fuckload of psychotropics

And a derelict fantasy world, lost to madness

This month's 'Avocado Toast'.

No wealth tax, but those little treats and pleasures, things that we can just about still afford?

YEAH, TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.

Labour Govt. motherfuckers. Or at least, that was what we voted for...
are you fucking serious

Anyway, I'm not actually shelving books today, so ahead of me lies:

Writing
Housework
Possibly painting
Watching more #Fallout, in anticipation of the second season
#Tea :)

My 'Six of the Best' mini-interview is up at @goonhammer.com, where I pick three of my favourite #WarHammer books, two other favourite books, and recommend one of my own.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.

Another morning, another round of Nigel fucking Frog-Faced Fascist Farage being a cunt.

Whodathunkit.

No, I'm not reskeeting it. I am so sick of looking at that man.

No, you're dreaming about shelving books*.

#Tea.

*Specifically these. But no clue why, other than they're absolutely gorgeous...

The fact the #DoctorWhoDay and #FibonacciDay are the same must be more than a coincidence.

Self-pub or no, if you use AI in your books - text, art or trailer - you get blocked.

New research by @mctd.bsky.social shows the impact of generative AI on authors in the UK. They found over a third of novelists report their income has already been negatively impacted by AI and 85% expect their future income will be negatively impacted.

And now, thanks to @gregpak.net. I'll have the 'dashboard of my car' song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

We used to sing it at re-enactment shows, years ago, while beering round the fire.

I don't care if it gets scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary,
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car...

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman
I don't care if it rains or freezes
Long as I got my plastic Jesus

Pre-Christmas weekend at work, day three.

Send #tea.

If you haven't watched #GunsAkimbo, do go do the thing.

It's off-the-wall bonkers, fabulously violent, and Radcliffe knocks it out of the park. It's also every #CyberPunk Friday Night Firefight we ever did, and suitably batshit glorious.

You can make art.

The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.

Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.

Just make art.

Amid the endless 'promote your book' AI spam, this may be the most ambitious email yet.

It's so close, and so, SO wrong.

Belatedly realising that I've been a #bookseller four years today.

Was a heck of a shock, at first, being back in the trenches, but despite (of possibly because of, or both) its madness, I do rather enjoy it.

On a later shift today, but come buy all the books!!

And my little Pixie is finally on her way home.

The lady at the Crematorium managed to get the kitty back out of the Post Office and returned to her safely, and will bring her back to me on Monday morning.

Lady has been incredibly kind and helpful, and I'm very, very glad that Pixie is now safe.
