A thread (or whatever it's called on here) on why @andreatodd.bsky.social deserves all the recognition. 1) Reading Andrea's books allows a living and breathing writer to gain a bigger readership and more income. Not like supporting millionaires. Or dead people03 Aug 2026 01:29 +0000at://did:plc:c6yrmlxtjohsouxnjeeslrqc/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms5dwla2rs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexmicati.bsky.social/post/3mrxixxf7l22dPut 2 books out for free.

Since then, it was a madhouse of outreaching. So much so that today is my first day of unplugging. What do I do? I pay the rent.

I feel empty. Like I don't want to type. My word processors (I have a desktop and a laptop) are both open, but the spark's not there. Might be due to the fact that I juggle writing (high bandwidth) with job searching (high bandwidth)15 Jul 2026 01:41 +0000at://did:plc:c6yrmlxtjohsouxnjeeslrqc/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqnlq5dwk22lhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexmicati.bsky.social/post/3mqlrxtttgc2mThere's nothing quite like waking up, opening your KDP reports page and seeing all those zeroes. Especially after you've told yourself that today will be a writing day. If you put "I support writers" in your bio, act on it. Buy the books.

No?! It's true. You can have your name in a novel of mine. How you might ask yourself? Read below. The more you buy, the higher your character ends up in the cast.

DI Claire Jones works a case in Lancashire that doesn't let her look away from it, and neither did I while writing it. It's out now on KDP and Kobo.

So, I need an income while I focus on job searching. And since I can't sell pictures of my feet (you don't want to see that!), I guess the only thing left is selling my books.
