Barnham

More impressive that the skeletal structure has defied gravity ... and lack of ligaments to hold it together.

Oh dang. Sorry to hear this :(

I got a random 1 star when my latest book released. No review. It was weird and out of nowhere. I shrugged and went, ahwell. Then a month later it disappeared.

Hoping the whatever internet gods out there pick up the maliciousness of it and removes them.

ooops. Didn't realise I wasn't following. Post must've been shared by a mutual. Fixed

Title: "The Haters" panel 1. Two round characters sit in a cinema. Yellow blob "I hate this!" Red Blob "Me too!" Panel 2. They have left the cinema Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!" Panel 3. "Did you like the book?" asks Yellow. Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?" Panel 4. Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits." Panel 5. Red blob "I'll lend you my copy." Yello blob"That's very kind." Panel 6. Caption: "Later" Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!" Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"

Autistic Authors,
As next month is Autism Awareness Month (yeah, I know acceptance is more important!), I'll be hosting an Autistic Fiction book bundle on Itchio (yes your book must be on Itch to enter.)

Let me know if you'd like me to DM you a sign up form!
And feel free to comment questions.

I am keen. Autistic author who has autistic characters (but probably subtly so).

When you're reading a sci-fi book from the late 60s and a character mentioned dialing E for Emergency on their pocket phone ... dang.

The US is a perfect study for why we must prevent too much power resting in a single nation.

I don't mean to brag but I just found a Starry Night 1000 jigsaw puzzle.
It's gonna get wild tonight, folks.
I'm gonna share it with my Nanna.

But if they do bring it back, I hope they uncanonise the movie and bring Wash back. Because F that injustice!

I love Firefly, it's one of my all time favourite shows.

But I'm worried given the horrifically bad state of entertainment these past few years. I really, really, REALLY hope this isn't what I hope it is. As much as I'd love to see more Firefly, I'd rather it remain as is. Untainted.

Nothing in my sales reports ... hmmm, I'm worried. Out of curiosity, where did you get it through?

Book sales so far this year: 0

This includes one person who said they bought my book in February.

Yeah. Things are going great.

We had 4 or 5 days straight of rain (very unusual in my part of the world). The cat, who normally rushes inside at just a drop of rain was so fed up that she went outside and just sat in it for like an hour. Came inside after drenched to the bone xD

Oooh, also, I'm an autistic author, so naturally, most of my characters are also autistic, by default. So if you like that kind of thing. Woot!

If you like Terry Pratchett and fantasy that tries to create new things, then you might like this. Give it a go (And please review)

Oooh no, I'm late for my once a month promo time (again) ... so here it is!

Telana REALLY wants to go out and explore the unknown world ... but first, she must go to school. A bit hard when girls don't go to the higher schools, but she's not about to let that stop her.

RIP Rob Grant. You helped this cranky teenager laugh ... a lot.

*Rimmer Salute

** I tried to find the special Rimmer Salute, but alas, there was no Gif. This is a heinous crime

you know what they say. Ninth time lucky.

Dedication page from Larry Niven's Ringworld book. Second paragraph reads "A man in Washington, D.C., sent me a full proofreading job on the first edition of Ringworld, with the title "The Niven-McArthur Papers, Vol. I." It was of enormous help to me. (if you own a first paperback edition of Ringworld, it's the one with the mistakes in it. It's worth money.)

My dad sent this to me. How comforting it is to see from such a prominent, old school author.
And also why I love it when people message me about mistakes they find. Every correction is an improvement, And I appreciate it so much!

lol. It reordered 0.01 ... woohoo

Just spent an hour dictating into the headphones, only to realise that the voice recorder crashed. I don't know when.

I'm tired of this computer, and all its Microsoft bloatware making it impossible to us :(

The Universe Is Racing Apart. We May Finally Know Why. YouTube video by PBS Space Time

I really got to do a video on my super awesome, and completely correct (/s) physics theory. Because more and more stuff coming out that fits in with it.

If only I could get my computer to stop crashing every time I work on anything more taxing than a word document.

Xennials confuse them. They don't know what to do with us. Then again, neither do we.

Look, I know my writing is a bit shit. I info dump too much, I head hop deliberately, I write autistic characters that nobody wants to read. But I don't need it to be AI level bad, okay? That's too low even for me.

First play through of Babylon 5 and just came across this gem

Some good news. I've finally sat down to write. I got over a 1000 words down. First time in (a) month(s?)

Though, the bad news is I'm still a bit stuck in the story. I got all the main events plotted. But there's stuff in-between that just refuses cooperate. Characters not contributing.

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus!
