Warren Ellis –

To be writing on a blog in this day and age is, let’s be honest, like being a scrivener of three-decker novels in the days of the paperback original. Or, perhaps more correctly, to be a paperback writer in the age of TikTok. And yet, all I ever wanted to be was a paperback writer. Affordable, portable books that would eventually get remaindered or traded or dumped into a charity shop where someone like the fourteen year old me could find them and discover new worlds and that crucial sense of not being alone.
