The only two things stopping me from playing the lute for the London Philharmonic Orchestra is:
1. They don't have a lute player position available
and
2. I can't play the lute.
I see it as backlog clearing. An emergency measure. (Obviously, open to abuse through permanency)

But... what else can they do? Is there a better alternative you could suggest that would speed up justice?

Btw, loved your first book. I recommend it to everyone when I talk about this subject.

It all seems pointless. The entire industry seems to be based on what idiot celebrity can sell substandard shit to morons.

Fuck 'em.
I'll write.
It's what I love.

I've tried portraits twice and failed each time. It's so difficult. The margin of error is so narrow.

You've nailed this. It's so good. Congratulations. Bask in the pride, you've earned it.

Oh, that's interesting.
I can't stand it. All the queuing and the time it takes irritates me.

I've just written a piece for a website (I might get around to creating eventually) on how to present liminality in novels without resorting to life events.

Yes, to me it's odd. But each to their own!

I love being in new places, but I could do without the traveling part of it all.

(I know you were using "travelling" figuratively)

I'm sure who ever it is will be "too woke" and "not as good as Sean Connery" in a million news articles.
