Cancelling Photoshop: a story in 3 parts.

(Replacing one time payments with a monthly subscription: definitely one of Crowley’s)

‘Kinell. Photoshop subscription has gone up by 50%. I really don’t use it enough to spend £180/year on it.

MAN I hate subscription models.

Not that I’m very pale, but I’ve just remembered that when I was at primary school and we were trying to invent nicknames, mine was Ghosty Face.

What? Why? Are you okay, Amazon?

Had to go via the website to do this (the website?? Who uses that) because attempting to deactivate my Twitter account on the app returned a mysterious error message 🤔.

Excellent joke in Heated Rivalry where the Canadian defends his car choice to the Russian by saying, “It’s British. Practical. Good on snow.”

I mean neither of the actors seems to realise it was a joke but that just made it funnier.

“Have you seen Billy today?”
After a short search involving the tracker on his collar, we find Billy in the garage.

Billy has—in about 10 mins—attempted to get back into the garage three times and got himself shut in the coat cupboard once.

Billy is as sweet as he is pretty, but he is NOT bright.

Pssst... Wildewood is only 99p for a limited time. If Irish gothic romance with ghosts and folklore is your thing, this is for you.

Welcome to Wildewood. Don't stray from the path.

Went to get some water for my plants*. Might’ve been a bit chilly out there?

*carnivorous plants, which don’t like tap water, so I fill up old bottles with rain water

Houseplant spent the summer outside and apparently had an affair with the oak tree.

“I looked around in a blood-soaked gown, and I saw some things they can’t take away…” Another scene from my next book (actually less gory than the book, but I couldn’t find a visual reference for dismembered orcs…)

I have swept out the old year with extreme prejudice. Happy New Year! 2026, do at least try not to be shit.

“Not worried about a little prick, are you?” Last drawing of 2025… from my (hopefully!) next book. She goes by Marian, and he’s just Some Guy…

Doing taxes. Excel just tried to correct an input error in my Amazon royalties. Did I mean £287? No, Excel. I meant £2.87. #GlamorousLifeOfAnAuthor
