I want to get into the self-pub business for my fiction. I'm looking at about €500 to start, before I get into stuff like Print on Demand for selling at LGBTQ+ markets, etc.
It's pretty daunting. Not least navigating of Irish bureaucracy when it comes to tax, welfare, etc.
Worth it, hopefully!🏳️🌈☘️🏳️⚧️🚬

I've been pleased the last few days planning DIY hobby stuff and plotting my Traveller TTRPG campaign, at my leisure, but I feel I've reached the limit of living out of my old family bedroom and not wandering around my own home🏠seemingly looking for something☕🚬while randomly sitting🪑down randomly.☃️

I never thought I'd complain about this in my life but the beef in my takeaway last night was too plentiful.
It was amazing to get it all, don't get me wrong, but I actually felt like I was denying the takeaway owner's kids a Christmas, or something. I'm OK with a little more sauce and less meat.

I took one of her books from Cork City Library. A recently homed "homeless" fella came up to me drinking cans🍻while I sat by the Lee. We talked art, libraries and school tour visits to Dublin galleries.
A moment of real connection & true heart💓with her work🖌️RIP #SpéirGhorm

The painter Anne Madden has died at her home in Dublin. She was 93 years of age. One of the leading Irish artists of the 20th century, she became known for her epic canvases inspired by the Burren in Co Clare and its megalithic monuments.

I wrote a sci-fi🚀 novel. I think it's good. A reader compared it to Philip K Dick. The thing is the protagonist is trans and is 'sci-fi' transitioning; a part focus.
A feeling I have is it's too trans for regular readers and too weirdo sci-fi/dystopia for trans fic.
I need to figure it out.🫠

It was so warm and cosy here I actually managed to relax a little after spending twenty minutes just sitting in the heat with a coffee.
So relaxing I made some fairly important connections on some life stuff once I got home. Not earth-shattering but good to know. It'll help me in the future. <3

I went for a sosig roll, but they were out of sosig rolls so I had a mini ham, cheese and onion quiche and a coffee. Now I'm eating leftover noodles. What a successful day! (Liz, it's 4pm.)

Useless!👎☘️Not posted yet but I interviewed a jeweller in a wheelchair at a FET College.
She's looking at about €50k to get setup in her own accessible workshop; the €€€ needed for one person while this has projects supposed to cover the entire nation getting just a little more than that #spéirghorm

More from the craft/jewellery fair in the Cork FET College. #SpéirGhorm All the students were making full use of the workshop facilities (hence the dirty nails/hands from working with the metals and chemicals.)
There's a big problem with workshop space availability once they graduate. A shame! 😞🫠🙃

I went to a Further Education craft fair in Cork today. Amazing stuff to be seen!
The general complaint was once finishing the course the start-up cost and workshop cost is too high. One woman, who I interviewed, talked about workshop space being ♿inaccessible but is working on a plan. #SpéirGhorm
