Hello!
          
          Lessons from a Christmas Tree:
          Be a light in the darkness.
          We all fall over sometimes.
          You can never wear too much glitter.
          Bring joy to others.
          Sparkle and twinkle as often as possible.
          It's okay to be a little tilted.
          ~ Jane Lee Logan
          
          Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! And best wishes for 2022!
          
          Your PIP club friend.

Wish you peace and lots of blessings for Christmas and the coming year filled with happiness! ❤❤

I have been with @prettyinpunkbookclub since the beginning of the year, ever since they got in touch to say hello. I have to say, it has been the best decision I ever made. I was always a little wary about book clubs on this platform, a little terrified I'd be stuck in a time consuming loop of dredging through weak fan fiction while having my own work needlessly torn to shreds, but PIP has been anything but that.  I am constantly reading original work and the feedback I've received has made me look at my book in a new light. If you're looking to improve your work and read some great books, I'd seriously recommend them. Also, it's only 4 chapters every two weeks, which even I can do. They are also celebrating their 2nd birthday, so at the very least, wish them a happy birthday! 

Thank you for all the votes on WORD GOODER! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I recently got involved with the monsters @prettyinpunkbookclub and their blistering constructive feedback along with the wide range of talented authors and books to read, so I entered The God Complex in the Punk Rock Book Awards (Humour category). Go check them out and wish me luck!

Thank you for the follow.

Shiver me timbers! A big Yo Ho Ho to The Captain  @sciencefiction for adding The Book of Alan to Captain's Choice Reading List, it's always touchingly surreal when it gets noticed. Also, not sure why I immediately assumed they are a nautical Captain but I'm sticking with it, eye patch, Parrot and all. Cheers m'hearty.

Such a great initiative by @LLSanders and @Monrosey.  Thank you once again for letting me a part of it.  Of course, a special thank you goes to all the readers who gave The God Complex a chance and endlessly entertained me with with all your comments (@ravenwood666may @DWDavis @ToryQuinn @John_Doe12 @Otimilyin @IanRCooper @Nacht_Owl @Fathii7 @wild_imaginatorII) Praying to Alan that one of you win!  : )
