I'm a bit of an eclectic mess πŸ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

@crcollins I have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of Discord since I prefer forums. The conversations on Discord are harder to keep track of.

Plus, if you are on a Mac, at least for me, the join Discord link does not work unless I have my dekstop client open. But if you need any help with setting it up etc, please feel free to ping me. I'm happy to help πŸ™‚

@crcollins Yes, it's just the Discord. Sorry, I should have been clearer in my post (will modify). You have the Discord join link on the page, but I didn't even look at the web page after that ...

I looked into how to promote your indie novel online over the weekend. Here's what I found:

@davemark SetApp is definitely worth the price πŸ™‚Have a bunch of apps that I used to upgrade every single time there was a new release β€” PathFinder, iStatMenus, BetterZip, Default Folder X, Paw, IconJar, TablePlus etc. Just those are worth the price IMO ...

@davemark Resonates with Terry Pratchett's "I Shall Wear Midnight" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Shall_Wear_Midnight) πŸ™‚

PTerry usually had historical reerences to most things he wrote. So I wonder if there's a link to both somewhere even further back in history?

It's August, and that means that -- after what seems a forever of waiting, as always with book launches -- Three Men in Orbit is now LIVE.

The official launch is at the Glasgow Worldcon, from a week tomorrow (8th August): but if you won't be there to buy it from me, feel free to order yours straight away.

Okay, bear with me, but I just love this review.πŸ₯Ί πŸ₯°

"One of the best things about this book was the way the author has weaved a multi-layered mystery within the narrative. The suspense is palpable, driving the story forward with a relentless pace that ensures there's never a dull moment. Moreover, the author's world-building is out-of-the-world"

@jefframes You should definitely write about the experieince πŸ™‚

I do like reading about other people's experiences and comparing to my own, but I hardly ever reply since I feel as if I have nothing to add to it since I have never actually attempted to do any marketing for my apps except perhaps for mentioning them once on social media.

@Mistresswitchwrites I understand your fear because I've had that fear for years and I've let that fear control whether I write or not. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but didn't think anybody wanted to read it and so didn't write any further novels for years.

I recently decided to just write for myself, whether anybody wants to read or not and it has made a huge difference. I have finished my second novel, have another almost done and I feel way more enthusiastic about writing πŸ™‚

I know that knowing somebody else wants to read is a huge motivator. So, if you need readers, I'd certainly be happy to volunteer to be one.

@jefframes Maybe this is what App Store success looks like? I don't know, since I've never had it but from my POV that's what it looks like, Jeff πŸ™‚

Congratulations!! πŸŽ‰

@elysegrasso Sorry to hear about the phone line. I really hate it when they give you the runaround for ages before they tell you they can't do it. Why can't they just tell people up front and save everybody some time?

Hey folks. I'm going to be extremely candid. I'm looking for a role and I need one extremely fast. I was trying to tease this news, but we're expecting twins. If you need any kind of iOS developer work, please please please consider me.

*Niche request, please boost:*

Looking for input and expertise in **how to legally co-own a multigenerational family home** where seven of us live.

Two married couples with kiddos, plus a mother-in-law, all on the same property, living in what is essentially a single unit.

Our goals:
* giving all parties a fair share of home equity, given that one of us paid more for down payment and the rest of us pay for mortgage;
* minimizing complication + taxes when oldest person passes away;
* not paying a ton of money to a lawyer to handle this
* still able to put some/all of our land into conservation, eventually

Ideas:
Tenants in common with a co-ownership agreement? A complex trust? A coop or LLC?

EDIT: I'm in Massachusetts, USA
