Carer pet peeve: People who stand in front of lift doors while waiting for the lift to arrive, and then expect thanks for moving out of the way.

Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron? A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

This, so much! I’ve met a lot of people who spend years writing and rewriting this one book they had an idea for instead of just … letting it go and writing the next thing. In my opinion this is the first hurdle on the way to becoming a professional writer, and it’s one that many stumble on.

Microsoft need to realise that, as a professional author, I do not need an Ai to ruin my work. I can do that all by myself, thank you.

Radical publishing notion, right here: if your publishers are making a living from publishing and selling your books, then you, the author, should be making a living from writing them.
