Avant / Après Rue des Batignolles dans le 17ème arrondissement de Paris. Avant le contre-sens cyclable était de la peinture jaune (on voit un bout sous les véhicules), donnant un aspect "temporaire pour travaux". Et comme les gros travaux de la zone étaient finis, il semblait vraiment peu respecté.

Final update: have finished this course and would rate it five stars for accessibility. Surprised to see a one-star review, but this must be from somebody objecting to the topic. It's not taken 24 hours, fraction of that, but then again I know the topic fairly well.

How A Publisher Almost Killed The Book I Waited My Whole Life To Write: a thread

My novel Villager came out in 2022. It was published by Unbound, who had little marketing/sales power. But I was excited & proud, since I worked so f-ing hard on it.

Here's an extract: www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

One of Jim's other great skills is sneezing.

This is Jim, about 1/3 of the way through his sneezes, which are always explosive and, like him, large.

This particular sneeze was not detonated in Jim's ideal sneeze environment, which is when he has his face under four inches from mine.
