Um, mostly because wonderful things happened, and Australia is still in the world cup…  so um, yay! And also, here, have another story! Which is here! And if you happen to be impartial in the matter, and watching anyways, maybe cheer for Australia tomorrow!  Please? Thank you :)

So this because ages ago I wrote a thing about people watching the men’s soccer world cup, so this, just in fairness, so as to not invisible-ise or whatever women’s sport! Also, cause Australia is going to win! That’s right! You heard me! Um, no actually Australia probably isn’t… especially after this morning, sigh… that […]

So real quick, and belatedly, because I forgot to say here, and then someone reminded me, and then I forgot again and someone else reminded me again… So anyways… There’s three new mostly-daily-updating things on Wattpad, because I’m stuck with what I’m meant to be doing, so trying doing different and entirely new and several […]

I was just bored and blocked and tried this!  Um, stories as short as can possibly be…  – Orpheus4 Unlike Orpheus1, he did not look back.  It made no real difference.  – Visiting the Fey In the end, terribly hungry, knowing it is unwise, I eat a little of the food.  And although there must […]

In truth, it makes no sense, not even to me, but this is the world we have now. There are gods. They are powerful. They feed on fear, and also, sometimes, on us. We don’t know where they came from, or why they are here. Some say they awoke from the depths of the sea. […]

Updatey 7 May 2015: Literotica seems to be working again.  Yay! Just randomly…  Literotica may be broke at the moment, and for the last day or so.  I don’t know, but I can’t get to the main website either, and there’s some bits and pieces on the forums there about how they’re changing servers around […]

Um, this diet I mean! And the workout is this…  vigoriously hump a pillow for twenty minutes each day!  Every day!  Because that has to be quite good exercise surely?  Like humping a pillow, all sweaty and fast, with no hands or whatever you might do to speed things up…  that could almost actually be […]

So because I am in a hyper mood and not actually doing anything useful…  um, because of apples… um… seriously… Anyways.  An idea! So I was in an actual paper bookshop the other day, like one where actual paper books are.  If you remember those?  Like, the things which I would read if I actually […]

Oh, and also, I know I went quiet again, and it started because dramas, but now its mostly just the mid-autumn seasonal-affective-disorder too-much-apple-sugar April glug. I hope.  I assume. Um, back soon, anyways. And April-apple-glug because i just realized it happened last year too, so maybe its just me.  Which is a bit alarming, but […]

So yes, this is actually not so much a clever and useful linky about marketing as one about why I don’t, and maybe people shouldn’t, and how maybe that’s okay because marketing, or at least social-media-type marketing, perhaps isn’t very useful for writers. And mostly so how because of all that, I shouldn’t feel guilty […]
