When writing music, people will feign an interest by inquiring who your influences are or what kind of music is it?
However in literature, people just don’t feign interest. If they’re interested they will ask what the story is about…

I see goodreads is rolling out a “Did not finish” rating.
Isn’t it great that once again, the internet deprives you of having your own opinion
In other news!!
I have just hit the publish button on a new novella. It should be available online and in print shortly.
Called "Response To A Quote On A Bus", it speaks to shitty neighbours, toxic work, spirituality, telepathy, wandering culminating in redeption. It's a Dublin story.

Can one contain their anger as an author knowing they have been regularly rejected by Penguin, thinking they are the saviors of literature

It's not what you know, it's who you know! as they say

Fifteen hundred and six words...

One thousand five hundred and seventy words today. I'm up to 25,521 in this story now and it seems validating to report this.
Maybe this will catch on and bluesky will become a portal of work counting...

It has made me realise how capitalism dictates all that is popularly consumed in music, cinema, theatre, galleries and of course literature.
