It’s been a year now. I need to stop being surprised by that government. And yet somehow, they still leave me utterly devoid of any comprehension of reality.

He wants our Coffee Crisp, but that would mean taking on Nestle. I don’t know if he has an army for that specific goal.

It’s a way to flood Amazon with novels that take 15 minutes to create for a dollar or two. If done right, it could make someone a lot of money while making it exceedingly difficult for someone like me to sell.

I run my own very tiny copywriting business. Not sure if this is helpful, but to avoid those “I needed it yesterday” clients is to say she can start working on their cover in three (or more) weeks. It’s one way to find clients who respect your schedule.

I’m not sure if you’re all familiar with Rare Magazine? They are out of the UK and staffed by people passionate about and in some way living with a rare disease.

I was in Japan in May and occasionally saw women completely covered: skirts to their ankles, long-sleeved shirts, what I’ll call a spring balaclava, sunglasses, large-rimmed hat, etc. It’s how some women try to avoid sun spots on their skin for cosmetic reasons 😞.

Both! Was actually quite refreshing!

I’ve shovelled snow in workout leggings and exercise bra. So, nope. Not weird!

The highest honour for a children’s author ❤️

Love the 70s vibe. Here’s a little more (although Spaceketeers isn’t quite there).
