Sorry. Nothing you can do about it now

Your soul

Everything always gets worse in the end, Ross, we know that

Amazed you had no takers. What is BlueSky coming to etc etc

If only I could my finger on the logical error here

Got quite excited till I saw the post was 4 days old…

The Wire? Come off it, man, you were 42

Listen if decades of child psychology about the formative power of early years experience is right, then these “5 TV shows to know me” posts should all be Andy Pandy and Noggin the Nog

Weather forecast indicating wall-to-wall sunshine on Easter Monday. There’s plenty of time for them to change their minds

I know it’s only Guardian rage bait, but I read this article and can confirm it says only what all writers’ articles say (albeit with many more, presumably AI-generated, words): Buy my books

I remember this mainly because my wife says it every time I publish a book

In about 1980, the supermodel, actress and mother of (some of) Mick Jagger’s children starred in an advert for Bovril (IKYN), in which she introduced herself as “Jerry Hall, the authoress, no less” - thereby anticipating your point about the residual intellectual cachet of the writer by c45 years

Quite. “Jerry Hall, the authoress, no less.”

(You may need to be my age for this one, I’m afraid)

Ghost writers have been around a lot longer than AI

I think the problem is you’re confusing the actual job of writer with the fantasy of “bestselling author”, which has always been more about hanging out with pop stars than putting words on paper
