May I offer anybody some optimistic escapism in these trying times? (Link in bio) Good god it really feels futile marketing books in this current climate. I hope all my US friends are staying safe 🙏🏻

I have been thoroughly enjoying my time with the Switch 2 so far. It's a remarkable step up from the original. Knockout Tour on Mario Kart World is absolutely brutal on 150cc 😂

A much better archery day today. Better than I've done in many, many months. Shot a Warwick 80 round (24 arrows at 80yds + 24 arrows at 60yds) and got a personal best score of 325. My previous was only 270, and that was back in April 2024! Compared to the last few weeks, it's an incredible jump.

Lmao, I just realised I haven't sold a single paperback since February and I'm starting to look a certain way at paid ads again if you get what I'm saying... 👀 A terrible idea; they never work for me.

Switch 2 day was kinda ruined for me by the fact that I had taken the whole day off work to make sure I was home for the delivery but it ended up arriving about 3 hours after my work day would've ended. Oh and one of my items was missing. Wahoo!
