Let’s chat about the post. The mail. Shipping. Stamps! Here is a pretty example of postage: Here is a realistic example of postage: I started my stationery business back in 2014 or so, and in summer 2017 when I was looking to increase orders, I asked my friends whether they prefer to pay postage on […]

Minimalish, Part Three: a 1-month anniversary review of the Brick Phone
Before we start: this post got LONG. Just a heads up, especially if you’re reading on a mobile (ha). Here’s part one and part two of this tenuous series. I was going to share this sooner, but I wanted to take a bit longer to get to know the newest electronic acquisition in my life: […]
Mildly Good Things That Are Happening in the World 2
The time is ripe for another of these. Remember when the main source of conversation was ‘Poor Caroline Flack. We should all take steps to be kinder, right?’ Now it seems to be ‘Fuck you I want 8,000 toilet rolls.’ BUT. Hairdressers have stopped stocking those bullshit gossip magazines. Ironically, we could probably use them […]
The Poor Person’s Guide to Helping Creators Make Money (without spending any of your own money)

The Beginner’s Guide to Working from Home
Try as I might, I can’t seem to stop being a freelancer. Sometimes I go to an office, but usually I don’t, especially now I’m getting into the final stages of my Open Uni course and working on dragonnovel. I’ve learnt a lot during my time of commuting down a set of stairs or across […]
Introducing a BOOK, Sort Of, That I’m Writing, I Think?
It occurred to me recently that a) I should start calling the Giant Enormous Writing Project a book, and b) I should probably talk about it more because it’s driving me a bit mad, in a good way, and when it’s done I’m going to brag about it until hell freezes over, and I should […]
I Took a 2 Week Break from Instagram. Here’s What Happened.
Spoiler alert: I got loads done. Soooo a couple of weeks ago I wrote about how fed up I’ve become with Instagram and why I wanted to take a little break. I turned it into a mini protest against Insta’s crappy algorithm, because why not, and I took a solid 2 weeks off from the […]
