Hope you’re having a great day. I came across your Facebook page and noticed your email, so I wanted to reach out. As a fellow author, I thought it might be nice to connect and share a bit about our writing experiences.
I received another one of those today, two in fact. Rather, the same one, twice. ‘Hi, I’m a fellow author…’ No, you are not, you’re someone hoping to make money out of indie authors by using poorly-generated AI spam. Take that and stick it up your bot a bit! (Bounces the spam back and puts sender on the backlist. Who uses ‘a bit’ in any communication?) And never ‘reach out’ to me again. If you must, you can contact me… I’ll emphasize that again: Con-tact, not ‘reach out.’ Shudders. (Gets over it.)
On the other hand, there’s great excitement in the office today, because I have a new chair.
I don’t think we can say ‘space age’ any longer, because we’re in it, but fancy, not costly, and easy enough to put together. Neil and I did that without paying the €35.00 fee for the assembly service the company offered. Can you imagine? Chair arrives, followed by a three-month wait for the putter-together to come down from Thessaloniki and follow a page of graphics. Did it in fifteen minutes, give or take. Now, I am using it, and so far, so good. Even the chair is smiling.
Anyway, today, I have a short story to finish for the next compilation. I might reach out to the shop later and see if they have any supplies. Then, tomorrow, I may reach out to Neil and see if he wants to go for a walk. I am reaching out to a dentist on Friday, over in Rhodes as you know, and while here, I might reach out to Harry and see if we can connect and share a bit about our day. If we do, I’ll reach out to you after, and we can connect about it for a bit.
