The people I ordered it from will be dealing with that. I assumed the hills up was customs here. But no... (Still have that to look forward to)

The French result is an excellent reminder for elections: Always assume the worst people you know are voting for their dream government and act accordingly.

Just watching Argylle again (love it!) but would like to note once again that reading the entire book at a book launch is probably not a good idea. That said, I really really want action figures

It was super slow loading for me when I did it - each page took ages to appear. I hope this means many many people are filling it in right now.

The Irish government is asking people to take a survey on climate change action. If you live in Ireland, this affects you. Please take the survey. It's pretty detailed, but it'll be time well spent.

This is on an older book, btw, not the latest one. Sorry if that's a spoiler in the backstory.

I never argue with reviews, & this isn't an argument (review was fine) but on this one occasion I'm bemused, dear reviewer who would love a prequel about a character's ancestor, um... did you miss the part where he and his lover died horrible and tragic deaths at the hands of deeply evil people?

I trust Brits thinking 'it's a foregone conclusion so why bother to vote' are watching events in France and the US. It is *never* a foregone conclusion and you *always* have to vote against the bad people because they will sure as shit vote against you.

There's going to be a voice, if you're lucky it'll be at the back of your head, telling you nothing you do matters or is seen or is worthwhile. That voice lies. Write the thing that brings you joy.

I talk about 'writing in the margins' and what I mean is fitting in writing in the little slips of time. Not all of us are privileged enough to have unbroken hours to dedicate to writing. One thing that has worked for me is committing to writing 100 words on the phone during bus commutes.

I’ve seen online communities you noobs wouldn’t believe. Attacking comments in the forums of Usenet. I’ve seen Geocities blinking under a million construction GIFS, and threaded flame wars spanning hundreds of LiveJournals. These memories will be lost…like tears in rain…
