      Greetings from the edge, Things in the broom cupboard have been busy. I’ve taken the plunge, built up my karma, paid my subscription, and am now once again a full member of Scribophile. I’ve posted the first 3,000 words of The Bone Garden to the queue to be critiqued by my fellow wordsmiths. All the…

      Greetings from the edge, Having recently switched my painkillers from Tramadol back to sweet lady codeine, I’ve found myself achingly tired most of the time. The kind of tired where concentrating on anything more complex than when I can next have a nap becomes a challenge. I’m hoping things level out once I get used…

      Greetings from the edge, One of my favourite parts of talking nonsense on the internet is that I get to overanalyse films and dive into some truly eclectic rabbit holes. One minute it’s a found footage film set on the moon featuring rock monsters, the next it’s a deep dive into cursed bling. It’s all…

      Greetings from the edge, I love my volunteer role at the local library. Officially, I’m a Digital Assistant. In practice, that means twice a week I sit there helping anyone who wanders in with whatever is causing chaos in their digital lives, whether that’s wrestling with the council website or trying to make sense of…

      Greetings from the edge, Things are going well. According to my site analytics, people are actually finding me. Whether or not you’re having a good time once you get here is another question, but I’m choosing to believe in a marketing strategy I like to call blind, gerbil-faced optimism: things are going well. I know…

      Greetings from the edge, I took the day off from site management so I could actually get some writing done. I now have a new article live on Crying is a Free Action, exploring the use of sound and the occasional silence at the gaming table. Other than that, I’ve been enjoying the day. Hooked…

      Greetings from the edge, Been busy here in the broom cupboard, but all three branches of the site are now live. Tattoo inch markings along my side because I rule. I put the last article live on Rambles & Whimsy today, and with The Chop Shop and Crying is a Free Action finished, I’m going…

    • Wednesday 18th March 2026

      Greetings from the edge, I have been busy migrating the site; the chop shop is now up and ready for business. I have decided to replace all of the AI art with stock images sooner rather than later, the idea being that people might see AI art and assume that the articles are also written…

      Greetings from the edge, Building like a possessed Minecraft crafter; Crying is a Free Action is now up to date, and I have started work on getting The Chop Shop live. Hopefully, I will start to see some reader engagement in the next couple of weeks. Still learning SEO, and to be honest, a lot…

      Lots of construction! I’ve settled on a colour scheme for Crying is a Free Action, and I currently have eight articles live, all with artwork and matching layouts. When the whole site is up and running the way I want it, I’m going to start properly promoting it on social media and elsewhere. So if…
