Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Oh boy.

Draft2Digital finally forced me to merge my Smashwords account and now I gotta go in and 'merge' all my books.

What a delightful waste of my time.

Putting this together was heartening. I'd honestly forgotten that some of these were 2025.

In a tough year, I really needed to reflect on my #writing wins.

What's not pictured? All the other amazing stories I wrote! (Stay tuned for 2026+?)

If you want to nominate anything, I won't stop you. 😘🖤

You know, I read a lot of books this last year, and somehow, the Goodreads year end awards only include one book I read.

If you ever wondered why Phil Brooks idolized Bret so much it was because Bret was his role model in bitterness.

Is Hangman hurt or something?

This feels very uhhhh rushed and I definitely didn't think this makes a lot of sense. But hey.

What Happened That Night
Josh is gone, but I see him everywhere. Even now, it's his reflection I see in the puddle as the storm brings me back to reality. I shiver. Seems I'm always cold these days. I need to get my shit
