Words I said today:

Grief feeds on regret, so leave nothing unsaid.

I just PMed you the link to chapter one.

Are you available to read a few chapters?

Hello.

Denny Crane.

My pleasure.

Zooted on skooma!

Lovely just lovely. Editing book three, getting slowly basted in the heat, planning holidays, fantasizing about Barr Hill gin on the rocks. The usual.

(It’s been a while since I’ve said hello so … hello)

The struggle is real.

God yes so true

True

Finished my third book.

Well, finished might be too strong a term. I still need to edit it, but … I wrote “the end” so that must mean it’s finished. Right?

Right.

I suspect it’s a job with profound risks and few rewards.

Yes!

As a test.

But … I am only two (2) chapters away from finishing my third book! Then I’m going to edit in August and September before querying it in October.

It’s hard to avoid the hate, Mel. It’s everywhere.

*so I can feel

We are truly living in the worst timeline possible. Alas.

I think I will do CORRIGAN’S ERRATIC MANIFEST postcards featuring the (surprisingly popular) front cover design language I used for (god knows) how many issues do I can feel like I’m putting art out into the world again and not just punching the clock until I die.

Flawless fit, 10/10 no notes.

Still alive.

I’m looking out for you

Don’t do that.

Gettin’ fancy. Shaking off an Oxford education isn’t easy.

A colour photograph of a small wooden building painted bright golden yellow and orange. Two signs say "The breakfast bothy" and "Hot rolls tea and coffee for the homeless & those in need ". The booth stands near a park and a busy road.

The Breakfast Bothy, Glasgow 2025
A booth where people in need can get wholesome food and a hot drink. What great generosity!
