Catastrophic Selfie is OUT NOW! I’m really proud of this one. Quite a lot of life has gone into this album. It’s heartfelt but with a sense of the ridiculous and some very catchy tunes. I’d love it if you’d listen, share or even buy it! Stream anywhere. thewoodlousemusic.bandcamp.com/album/catast...

Friends in #publishing! If someone's looking for an #agent for a YA manuscript, do they want to look in the main Writers and Artists Yearbook, or the Children's Writers and Artists Yearbook????

I am going to be spending the rest of my day and possibly my week thinking about "Werner the Herzog" and quite frankly it's the last thing I needed

Morning

So, I did a thing. It started with a series of blog posts, that was supposed to turn into a 20 page how to guide and instead became a full sized book because I realise that no one ever talks about how you do this stuff properly and so many small presses manage by trial and error

You can tell “It’s a Superpower??” Is a solid Autistic comedy cause of the random one line reference to Eugene Tooms … You know … from season 1 episodes 3 & 21 of X-Files … the guy who goes through vents to eat livers and makes cocoons. It’s a 33 year old reference and I feel seen.

The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.

But it is also a game *clearly* designed for neurodivergent people. Because the thrill you get when you not only get a shape Qwirkle but a *rainbow order* Qwirkle is just too good for "normal" people.

For those of you who don’t know, Chapter Two, landing tomorrow, is titled An Army of Bums. What could that mean? Is it a metaphor? No. No it is not. We are also so sorry for the lack of umlaut I don’t know what we were thinking please don’t cancel us.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
