What is the most ridiculous question or complaint that you've had from a Customer/Client?

Trans people are "forever patients"?

So is literally everyone!

Fuck off.

Had a seizure in the checkout. Someone, with all the kindest intentions in the world, called the police to do a Wellness Check.

Please... Please! Don't do this. It disappoints, but the cops are not your friends. A Wellness Check isn't to see if you need help or a carer. It isn't to give you anything. It is to take it away.

Fuuuck. Some of my books have been added to GitHub's AI system, because I backed up the code I used to generate them in the private repositories, whilst keeping my copyright and not using any open source license.

https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/shakna-israel/wandsofwizeria

I have filed a manual removal, but they've already trained on the data.

Anybody know any educators who wouldn't mind reading a short book, aimed at 6-8 year olds?

Looking for some beta readers, for something I really hope to get out by Christmas.

"... one of the astronauts who went to the moon said one of the best parts about landing on the moon was that he could actually take a shit. Being in zero gravity fucks with your digestive system so he said he hadnt taken a proper shit for the whole ride there."

Ahem! Due to treatment by my physio... After seven years the muscles and nerves in my left leg are now working again.

"... go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something." - Kurt Vonnegut

As we come into Christmas, and all that entails, here's a little reminder.

You can get all of the books I've written, for free, or a price you name from over here.

Because when you have nothing, the world can feel big and terrible - and you need the escape more than anyone else.

ahem. After a little more than seven and a half years, I can walk unaided, without a limp. Last time that lasted a week. The time before that... Was fifteen years ago?

But eh... I CAN MOTHERFUCKING WALK!

#Shameless self promo? Alrighty. I should be working on the last two chapters or so of my #wip. #RedTreasure is already rolling out slowly onto RoyalRoad freely, and will appear in print and ebook everywhere else once I do finish but...

I am blocked. I cannot write for some reason. Despite those insane deadlines. 😭

I would never be able to tell if poor posture whilst writing, or writers stress, or the like affected me.

I've got somethong called #fibromyalgia. I am literally never not in pain. The wind on my face feels like pinpricks of fire. Holding a lovers hand feels like grinding the bones to dust. Hell, breathing feels like forcing spikes through my chest.
