Thinking of getting a new keyboard. By... Microsoft
Look! It's not that I don't love my Apple Extended keyboard. I do. I really do. But with Dragon borking itself in the last major update I've been typing more often than dictating, and I'm starting to feel it.
Been thinking I should try an ergonomic keyboard and most of the reviews point to this badboy from the orc foundry at Redmond.
Routines
And while I'm on the King, he famously sits his arse down everyday and cranks out ten pages. At least I think it's ten pages. Maybe it's 2000 words. Whatevs. He has a routine. That's the secret of writing, just turn up every day and do it.
Life on the Line podcast
I stumbled across this obscure treasure because Alex Lloyd, my former editor at Pan Mac, tweeted it out. As he should, it's his passion project. Alex and the rocksteady LoTL crew have been interviewing Australian veterans and packaging up the results as a podcast: Life on the Line.
Thanks to everyone who left reviews
We didnt seem to have the usual problem with the Beast just bulk deleting the first twenty or thirty reviews that dropped on THE GOLDEN MINUTE. But a few peeps had had their reviews denied because... well, I dunno.
The way of the Beast is mysterious.
But all the reviews help. Each one is worth about a hundred sales they reckon. So I'm always grateful to get them. If you've left your's already, this is where I dips me lid.
If you haven't...
The Golden Minute pre-order
Just pulled the trigger on the pre-order for THE GOLDEN MINUTE. It's available at iTunes exclusively. Not because I'm a hopeless Apple fanboi. But because I'm a ruthless dealmaker.
There is a discount this weekend. (Although there'll be discounts for book club members on other sites, obvs).
Lowy Institute's Power Index
The Lowy Institute has a pretty cool interactive index looking at dynamic power matrices in the Asia Pacific over the next decade.
Very clickable for strat-nerds.
Not reassuring for anxious types.
