So when I die, and go to hell, I will apparently spend all eternity in the Bob Dylan Museum.

Good to know.

Michelle Federico, one of my favourite pieces of interactive fiction I've ever played/ read - and one of the weirdest - was about just the tendency you're describing. It's worth 5 minutes of your time, I reckon:

It's a scam. Freddie writes all of these himself.

Can confirm this is true.

Really wide and varied selection here. Might I suggest excluding any posts which are paywalled? It rather defeats the purpose of introducing your writing to new readers if you're making them pony up for it right off the bat.

Really great to see McJunker on here and still writing. Severely underrated writer!

Sure thank you, I’m never sure whether I’m getting lost in the white noise!

I highlighted a couple of your posts here https://jessesingal.substack.com/p/motte-and-grateful

I'm really glad to see you're still writing, and I strongly urge you to put yourself out there more. All the cool kids have Substacks!
