Who Are You?

I’m a British writer (amongst other things) who has worked in obscure corners of the internet for years. Substack is my attempt at getting everything in one place and sending it directly to the people who want to read it. If blogging online is like fishing (and it is, in that it involves a lot of boring white men sitting down for long stretches) then this is more like shooting my readers in a barrel.

It’s possible that metaphor got away from me.

Are You Charging For This?

No, and probably not ever. My current plan is that I’m going to publish incidental stuff here, and use it as a way to plug anything bigger that I might write which will then cost money. If I write a book, you have to buy it. My musings here will be inflicted on you for nothing.

How Often Can I Expect An Email?

Pretty much whenever I have an idea. I drink heavily and I’m on low-grade psychiatric medication, so that could be forty times a day or once a month. If it’s the former, I’m very conscious of not spamming people. So I’m going to aim for no more than… Three a week? Does that sound fair?!
