I'm pretty sure it's against the law to say that and not tell us the story !

I don't think you're being picky - I am also very particular about such things. A couple weeks ago I ordered a print proof copy of the book I will be self-pubbing soon, and I am so glad that I did. There was a random blank page before one of the chapters and it stuck out like a sore thumb - to...

I would love to live on an isolated Irish island, though I'd still need some way to earn a living. I can get a Finnish passport, so I am pretty sure I could work and live anywhere in the EU. But yeah even with the 90 grand I would need some money coming in. Hadn't done any submissions for a...

That's neat! K, W, Y, and X being worth 10 whole points. Without looking it up, I bet in Finnish Scrabble Ks and Ys are worth only 1 point. Here's a funny picture I came across earlier today. I like how it tells a story:

I agree with the Witcher 3 recommendation if you haven't played it. It's currently my favourite game of all-time. The combat is a fun challenge on the hardest difficulty; you need to employ some Souls-like tactics to win, and you need to use your potions and stuff. It's a different game on...

Not quite "writing for yourself," but I never write with a particular audience in mind. I try to write stuff that people just like me would love to read. There must be plenty of readers like me, and I hope they find my work and enjoy it. I remember plugging Heinlein's 5 Rules at the old place...

Bet dollars to donuts this same person eats meat and drives a car.

You've left out an important consideration. What if this was not an anecdote based on real events, and someone just wrote a joke?

Just wanted to say I had a nice LOL at your signature there 🤣

What a dull weekend. Barely got any PS5 time in at all. But I did get all the annoying self-pub work done. Two print versions and three e-book versions are now in perfect shape and ready to go for the Sept. 1 launch. It's nice to have everything done well ahead of time, but I think the next two...

This is probably not good advice, but it did work for me. The first few days of cold turkey are the most challenging of course. Very difficult to sleep. So, get very, very drunk in the evening, and you will absolutely sleep. Then in the morning you will feel like shit and nothing seems as...

I love that her dreams are still book-related. But she gotta learn some respect for the Zep.

Straight to jail, right away. This sounds right up my alley. I put the marinated tomatoes just a tiny step above sun-dried. To clarify, I typically get two pies - one with just cheese and pineapple (or with feta too), and another with marinated tomatoes and feta (or extra cheese, or parmesan...

I really enjoy writing humour. Mostly just one type of it, though - satire. Whenever I take note of something absurd in real life, I jot it down on my phone's notepad before I forget. By the time I'm ready to write a piece, I've got a nice well to go to for funny situations that offer social...

Wow, we upgraded our software in less than three months where the old site didn't have an upgrade in what, ten years?
