I need a new clutch.
Happy fucking Christmas to me.

It's MOT day, which means I can't do anything as a wait in fear for a phone call that might ruin me financially. And also emotionally.

Been slogging through this one for the last week - currently on page 567 of around 920.
It's good, but it's a lot. The amount of characterisation is, frankly, overwhelming. It's a solid 3/5 book - if it were 4-500 pages it'd be truly brilliant.
I'll finish it, but stick to Tom Wolfe in future.

For the first time, I've been accused of using AI in my freelance writing.
And I'm furious.
To have done a close reading on two chapters of someone's work, made copious notes, then turned those notes into a report, only to have it belittled and disregarded, has really made me feel like crap.

A snapshot of life:
My wife, unpacking her bag after a trip to London, threatens me to leave her snacks alone.
The snacks?
A completely flat donut and half a mars bar.

A Little Life is just garbage. Pure emotion porn. Shallow and vacuous.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John Le Carre.
Paranoid right-wing nonsense. The epitome of pseudo-intellectual boomer fiction.

I showed this to my wife who is working her way through all of Sarah J Maas' books and she hit me.
This single post ruined my ability to take like. So many new releases and books seriously based on title alone.

I've tried watching Brassic but it's not for me.
It doesn't find the balance between comedy and drama at all. You can make a show where the audience roots for the main characters despite how awful they are (Better Call Saul for example) but it only works if they're sympathetic and trying their best

Brilliant article here on the importance of small publishers.
@srlpublishing.bsky.social took a gamble on me all those years ago, where a big publisher definitely wouldn't have, and now I'm awaiting the publishing of novel number 4 with hopefully many more to come!
