There are no rules on what you can or cannot write about.

I’m still figuring that out myself.

Here’s a post where I talk about what I have learned so far:

Word gangs, clones, and pacing

There’s one I quote quite a lot. I’d forgotten it was a Pratchettism.

Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.

The quote is from Jingo I think.

Ooooh, I love this one.

1. Get it down on paper; make it pretty later
2. After an event, there are four stages -> immotion, reasoning, anticipation, and action
3. If you gave 100 authors the same ideas, you would get (at least) 100 unique stories. Only you can tell yours.

I’ve spotted that too. If I can’t figure out exactly why it changed, I’ll hit it with some targetted custom CSS later.

I might not be the right person to answer this question as I’m a big fan of LibreOffice. I like to put each chapter in a separate file and then add a section for each chapter linked to the files to get one master file. That way it “understands” chapters (at least as much as I need it to).

Danny is correct. I do run a group. We’re based in Thanet, Kent. Pop along, ask here, or message me if you have any questions. I’ll do my best to answer them.

[Matthew Brown]

Not much. I stood for election to the local county council.

I have indeed come back

That is very much appreciated, Danny. I may take you up on that if my latest hotfix fails.

I’ve removed the transient caching. Page might be slightly slower but should always be fresh.
