For example: In order to turn -I will- into -I'll- I carefully delete the space and -wi- even if it would be easier to just delete it all and retype. Gotta save those letters that have been already typed.

So while I am here, I'm not really here. As in if you tag me in something I will swing by and check it out. Or if you shoot me a message. Or whatever you can do to make my phone go 'Hey Bob, remember that Bluesky account you have?' So just keep that in mind, if you expect me to see stuff!17 May 2025 16:16 +0000at://did:plc:bg2jacdv7uasylb5boujls4f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpewwduwcc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/talesbybob.bsky.social/post/3lfsrsnczqc2ahttps://talesbybob.com/blog/f/fan-expo-new-orleans-recap15 Jan 2025 22:10 +0000at://did:plc:bg2jacdv7uasylb5boujls4f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfsrsnczqc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/talesbybob.bsky.social/post/3leovyv54222eI have written six blog posts that summarize pretty much all aspects of life as an indie urban fantasy author in 2024.
