I think I've hit bot critical mass. New followers every day, but the follower count remains pretty much the same (fluctuates between 3,976 and 3,981). At least, i hope it's bots...

Why is it the first thing I have to do with new videos games is turn the music volume down to 50% just so I can hear what the damn characters are saying?

First rating for King Hunters has appeared on Amazon. Five stars. Thank you anonymous reader.

Lady being interviewed on the podcast I'm listening to just said "It sounds like I'm doing a lot, but I feel like I'm not doing enough." Interviewer: "Compared to who?" Interviewee: "Compared to the person I feel like I'm supposed to be" ...I feel this in my damn bones

Honestly, do these scams even work on people? Just had an email from a guy claiming to make me a success in 2024. No that is not a typo... They aren't even trying anymore.

Started @grumpysensei.bsky.social's The Trouble With Prophecies. I'm only a few chapters in, but im having a lot of fun It's got Pratchett vibes. A decent sense of humour whilst leaning on familiar fantasy beats - wizards, hulking female warriors, immortal monarchs, and 'chosen one' prophecies

Seems a lot of my Facebook page follows are... Nigerian Princes. Not sus at all.

Last year I made a short film. As a screenwriter with a drawer full of unproduced scripts I was eager to write something I can produce/direct myself-- to experience the whole process from paper to film. litopia.com/sarit/why-mo...

That's... A fantastic idea.

Isn’t it beautiful? 😭πŸ₯° Coming soon! πŸ“šπŸ’™

Every day is imposter syndrome day.

Oh, I feel this. I was supposed to be 25 forever.

Forcing myself to have a week off writing in the wake of book 2s release... It's tough; I'm looking forward to writing book 3.
