I have lost count of the rejections I’ve had while trying to get published. Feel the sting, try to learn from it, move on.

I just got published by Bloomsbury after 20 years of trying.

Not going to say this will happen for everyone but it’s always worth a shot. Keep your head. Don’t get bitter.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in digital government – Liz talks about service design, fragmented institutions, and user experience!

Had some thoughts after reading @hayleygullen.com's graphic novel about her breast cancer treatment: lizlutgendorff.substack.com/p/can-you-ap...

Can you apply service design principles to fix a fragmented NHS?

Delighted to have written an article about the admin burden of navigating the NHS as a seriously ill person.

Bad admin is traumatising. If your system traumatises people, it can’t heal them.

I see lots of talk about the need to get wider audiences interested in comics. I see much less about how comics creators need to provide the kinds of stories that draw in wider audiences.

We can’t complain about lack of interest if we don’t at least try to meet people where they are.

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

Oh yes! I just got published, at the age of 40. Took me 20 years and many unpublished works. But I got there.

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 3d

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
