Third book in my current trilogy sat in the editor’s to do list for two years. And it probably wasn’t her fault. She had 47 other manuscripts. gotta squeeze those ‘efficiencies’ hard.

‘There are plenty of places you can drive… where you’d be advised to carry some spare jerry cans of petrol… Just as there are hundreds of millions, maybe more than a billion places to recharge an EV because in a pinch you can just plug it into a wall socket like a fucking toaster.’

Bravo!!

Oddly enough, the best thing to do on your first fast charge is to go to a busy charging station. The other EV drivers will help you out. It’s like a club.

So, you've decided to write a terrible EV piece. An early column, because I'm away this Friday.

My head assploded and harsh words came out after reading the ABCs stupidest ever 730 report on EVs

We are currently on holidays in France. The hotels we're staying at not only have EV chargers in their carparks, but they absorb the cost into the tariff.

When we're travelling long distances, we stop for lunch while charging to 80% and be back on our merry way.

You can drive all the way around Australia, criss-cross your any way you like. You will find abundant EV chargers to help you on your way. Have read of one family caravanning with EV SUV. They use solar panels to recharge when camping in isolated areas. Two days tops, and off they go again.

I hadn't heard that story, but what a great hack!

Wouldn't it be great if council removed all the fucking parking meters and replaced them with car chargers. They could raise revenue by charging for the electricity instead. And that was just from my "bath tub think tank". Imagine what we could come up with of we talked to town fucking planners!

The fiddly and time-consuming reality of driving an EV in Australia With no end in sight to soaring fuel prices, 7.30 decided to take an EV for a test drive to see how far it could take our reporter, and if Australia's EV charging network stacks up.

This was such hot garbage Imma pull my whole column forward to rag on it tomorrow

Sat down this morning to compose a brief courtesy email to my editor regarding my initial thoughts on the outline for the essay I'm writing on the rise of the Far Right. Four hours later...

Just opened a new bottle of Shiraz for a small splash of red to make my jus. You may not like it but this is what peak masculinity looks like.

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up.
Anyways, support your local book stores. Shit's tough.

Oh, you think you’re a monster because you deliberately kill off fan favorites? Thats nice. I put all my characters names in the Murder Hat and draw them at random for death. Yes, it causes continual plot issues, but the fury of my readers is more than worth the narrative inconvenience.
