Time for this again, my 1400 followers! Not sure how that happened, I had far fewer in the other place. I'm in the poo financially, so every little helps: ko-fi.com/andykjcragg

Comedy writers with lived experience of autism - come write for us! I went through this process last year, so here's some unsolicited advice: instead of waiting to feel confident enough to do stuff, trust that you'll gain confidence by doing it. Follow the brief. Do your best. Hit send. Move on.

Another flash fictioned short story on that SubStack - open.substack.com/pub/andykjcr... (I'll go to Ghost, honest, when I get my 99th subscriber.)

I seem to have 1400 followers. Hello 👋👋👋

#totp. I'm a proper punk/new wave bod. But Abba...

#totp. It seems only John Peel wasn't pervy on TOTP.

#totp birds? Urgh.

#totp ooh, my first ever gig was The Piranhas! Play them you, etc

#totp 40k? I genuinely believed it was closer to a million. Memory eh?

#totp that would be John Foxx. Why do I remember these things and not important stuff?

#totp. Sequels to pop songs... ...Wipe off Eileen.

#totp impressive miming from the Arfur Dailey fellow.

#totp weirdly, I quite like this Arfur Daley thing. Amazing set.

#totp Billie McKenzie had an astonishing voice, extraordinary.

open.substack.com/pub/andykjcr... - a piece about my garden on SubStack because Ghost costs too much!

Turn round three times, etc

Yes, I will! When my novella is in a state to see the light of day...

Yes!

Excellent!!

Yes.

Yes, especially uk.bookshop.org/shop/andykjc... :)

Tasty :)

observer.co.uk/culture/film... - I'm in a Coe-devouring phase, and will probably be re-reading all of Ian Fleming's Bond books again soon, so this is very apt. And this article is beautifully written and takes me back to watching the Bond films when I was a kid too. Lovely.

What gets wet as it dries? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A towel!

Get yer books from yer local bookshop - here's a good reason :

Yes.

Deleting the apps so I can meet someone the old fashioned way (seeing the hair had dropped from my hotel room door, pulling out my Walther PPK, slowly opening the door to see a beautiful Bond woman, naked, in my hotel bed, smiling alluringly).

They called her a #Savant, which was insulting. Wierd, odd, a little bit crazy, a witch even, would have been better (but she couldn't cast spells, however much she tried). So she dressed soberly, was nice to children and animals, acted "normally", and soon the sobriquet was dropped. Pity. #vss365

I just scored 22 points at the Singers & Musicians category on IS or WAS – the celebrity mortality game! is-or-was.bagpuss.org - more fun than I thought it might be.

I seem to have gained more than a hundred new followers since I was delightfully bunged onto a Starter Pack - so here is what I do : amzn.to/44KYAQl I designed the cover and self-published it and everything! More free stories at andykjcragg.substack.com too. Lovely, and thank you! ~ andy ~

Perfect!

More new followers! Hello to you all and here is a book : amzn.to/3IAEq40 Marvelous, and thank you again for following!

bsky.app/profile/did:... I appear to be on this list - how cool is that?

Another one for the collection ...

ko-fi.com/andykjcragg - this is me, asking for dosh, spondoolicks, the folding stuff, dough, readies, that expression when you rub your thumb and index finger together, etc. This is actually not easy to do, but I thought I'd give it a go. More writings when I'm feeling less stressed!

Ha!

I have more than a thousand followers! About double that from the other place. Thank you to all! I'd better post stuff then. Here is a photo I took recently - grey pebbles, great sky and a sliver of grey sea.

Oooft !

The young adept asked the #guru - what is fate, master? The master replied - when a great weight is carried over many, many miles, and is finally set down precisely where it was meant to be. That is fate? Asked the adept. Oh, fate. Sorry, I thought you said freight, replied the master. #vss365

Fabulous!

... and this - amzn.to/4mYLEie I released two books of short stories at once, which may have been a marketing cockup, but hey.

Buy this - it is really lovely! amzn.to/4kJdGMt - I did the cover myself and everything!

Just a little reminder that we have a Starter Pack for all pitch events we know about here on BlueSky! We update as we find them so it's worth checking again for new ones too! go.bsky.app/UzNMwUV #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmQuerying #AmWriting #LitAgents #AmAgenting

Quite!

on top of being a total sweetheart, Charlotte has contributed music to many of my videos. if you've ever watched 'em and thought "this has bad vibes, but in an oddly pleasant way", you have her to thank! she wants to leave Florida, for obvious reasons. it'd be awesome if we could make that happen 💛

Very Good stuff!

Splendid workshop!
