Bargain Control
Last weekend, Amazon suffered a technical glitch. A huge selection of comics were offered at hugely reduced prices. You know how hard it is to control yourself in the face of a bargain? Imagine hundreds of them.
Busyness Is As Busyness Does
I tend to find myself with plenty of time to work on my writing and post crap on the internet, then suddenly I am booked up for days on end. We’re approaching one of those periods now.
