"You Could Yell In This Womans Face,

"You could yell in this woman’s face,”

said Anton, chinning at an elderly passer-by approaching with the help of a wheeled shopping bag.

“She wouldn’t notice. Wouldn’t hear anything.”

“You could spit on her?”

“She’d feel that,” said Callum. “If I time it right, she’ll decide you must have done it.”

I Need A Miracle:

Recording day 2

Today's schedule was much more packed, so I didn't take as many photos. Basically just this one

Matt selfie wearing a comedy/tragedy masks pin, a pin of a knife that says WORDS on it, and an octopus tentacle ring

I know writers with cohesive aesthetics and they're all cowards

I Need A Miracle:

Recording day 1

Pulled my usual stunt: gave myself way too much contingency travel time and got to the studio (or the nearest tube, anyway) over an hour early. Currently sitting in a cafe between the tube and the studio consuming black coffees and distracting myself by blogging and by thinking about topics I could speak about that would be useful or interesting to small business owners (an ask from Dad). Oh ever-growing to-do list, you are a boon in times like these of twiddling thumbs and tapping toes.

A photo of a coffee shop interior, showing the wall behind the counter and part of the ceiling. On the ceiling is a plaster ceiling rose with a pattern of oak leaves. There's a lineart mural of coffee growers on the wall, and a row of lamps in front of it hanging straight down on thin black insulated cables.

I like the ceiling roses in this cafe. Wonder what the building was before?

For the next week (5/15-5/22), all proceeds from sales of our audiobook will be donated to a campaign on Gaza Funds to help a family evacuate.

If you already have the audiobook or would prefer a donation of a different amount, consider donating directly to a gofundme linked on the site. These campaigns are fully vetted and will directly help families escape the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

5. Be honest, which is your favourite character to write lines for?

6. You have to turn your podcast into a different type of media: what do you go for?

7. Tag a show you think would make a great crossover with your own (and maybe make it happen, who knows 👀)

8. Pick a character from your show and put together an outfit you think they’d wear.

9. If your show was a different genre what genre would it be and how would the plot change?

10. Recommend a couple of other shows for people who like your own!
