Just out of interest, how many copies have you sold of your most popular book? I remember that topic, maybe a year ago, where you got really upset and said you weren't writing anymore, but I can't remember the figures (if any) you gave.

Why do the players sometimes walk onto the pitch with children? What the hell is this? Also, what happens to the children? I hardly ever watch past that part, so I thought that maybe they just disappeared.

I don't know. Most millennial writers (such as they are), seem to think of themselves less as writers, and more as businesspeople.

I've never worked at a grocery shop.

Anyway, I've had several jobs in the last few years. But never enough money. I'm amazed I was able to buy 2 consoles and various games. Of course, I skimped on plenty of other things, like books and films, sometimes.

Gaming is probably the greatest thing ever.

60k's a bit short for a novel? Also, an anthology is when there are multiple authors involved, although from the way you phrased your post, the other 5 stories maybe be by another author or authors.

But you're right, it's a big relief when you don't have to think about it anymore.

I agree the ads are ridiculous. The ratio between videos and ads is about 1:1, and has been for a long time. One time, I saw some of a 20 minutes ad. I couldn't believe it. Of course, I skipped most of it when I saw how long (or more to the point, boring) it was.

I mean, let's say some fired employee / person with vendetta against someone working at a company, or whatever, burns down their main office. say, for the sake of argument, it happens at night and nobody is hurt or killed. Do you think things like insurance money actually help the company? Because you here about people burning down their own stuff. All those arsonists, who thought they were bringing another person or a company to its knees, but were really helping it.

I think the last time we got this far was 1990, I think against Italy. Apparently this is a big thing, and a sore spot for the nation.

Allegedly.

It's crazy, really.

I spent a while planning it, and really worked hard for about 6 weeks, mid-April to the end of May. The following day, I should've printed it off, and that should've been it, not having to worry about it for a while, maybe (usually I finish the first draft of something, and then stick it in a drawer for 6 or more months, to give me distance when I read it).

This time, though (sigh), my the other people who use the communal printer in my house insisted I use the free inks that we get allocated by the company every so often. This meant that I had to print the thing off in 4 goes, stretched from late May to mid-July, about another 6 weeks. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you're exhausted yourself writing something, and just wanna forget about it after quickly printing it off, this is really annoying, even upsetting.

It's done, though. A new short story collection of 14 stories, between 10 and 30 pages each, and perhaps it's a very good book. Who knows. It's upstairs in a folder, inside a drawer now, and that's good. I can't believe how cheap people are when it comes to printing, you know?

Writing is hard work.

I didn't have much to buy. I mostly just bought games then. Didn't buy many books each year at all, or VHS tapes (this was a while ago, obviously), and so on. I did occasionally buy a lots of clothes in one go, but like I just said, not often.

I saved over half of that each year, which is just as well, because it helped take me through the recession, which basically lasted for 7 or 8 years in the UK.
