Stories are always worth buying.

It’s quiet in the bookshop this morning. I guess everybody’s at their jobs, earning money so they can come and buy books at the weekend 🤷‍♂️

On putting together a short story collection. After posting my Hotdog Short Story Manifesto last week on here I was contacted by a publisher within 30 minutes to say that they would read it when I’m done.

In this week’s writing diary

On Putting Together a Short Story Collection

It's very hard to identify individual hedgehogs. We can distinguish big, middling and little visitors over the course of an evening, but did we see the same ones in yesterday's video clips? One thing that does highlight a newcomer to the garden though, is unfamiliarity with the steps #TinyJoys

this is it right here. AI violates Vonnegut's number 1 rule for writers: "Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted." AI shifts the burden of effort from the writer onto the reader/audience and that is unacceptable

Bhajis.

knight oc Wreg holding his one-handed sword to his inner thigh, the blade almost ready to puncture the white fabric of his trousers. The blade is rusted and rotten. His outer layers, belt and armor pieces are falling off, and his upper torso is bare. Only half of his face can be seen, looking stern. Background is dark, with illustrated rose thorns and blood drops.

Knight and the enemy within - rust and rot
