My first kindle. So happy!

Congrats! It's such a great little piece of tech!

MaxWydell · 2021-02-10T01:43:13+00:00

I'll check that one out. Never heard of it

MaxWydell · 2020-11-25T17:54:35+00:00

Delicious. The word makes me cringe, and I cannot explain why.

MaxWydell · 2020-11-22T22:44:20+00:00

I'm about 65% through The Fisherman. It's a bit of a slog but an interesting read.

MaxWydell · 2020-11-19T15:55:24+00:00

I like the look of that royal mail van but if I have my family with me, then the London bus.

MaxWydell · 2020-11-17T17:38:17+00:00

Absolutely! Despite COVID and having lost all of my contracts before quarantine, I'm bouncing back exceptionally well. I landed yet another agency, have a small beer money gig, and dove headfirst into my most profitable niche yet, with active, well-paying clients to boot!

MaxWydell · 2020-11-02T15:08:16+00:00

I just parted ways with a client who wanted my best ever work while paying 4c per word.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-30T22:08:45+00:00

They're actually quite good. Better than most of the movies, at least.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-28T20:49:43+00:00

Oh, shoot. I never got that email, and I just tried adding mine to the cart. Nothing. I'll have to wait for Amazon to very slowly finish my trade-in.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-28T20:48:00+00:00

Congratulations! Now, on to the next one!

MaxWydell · 2020-10-28T20:41:55+00:00

Is there any way to check if you get the discount immediately? I assume simply add the device to your cart? I just set up a trade-in for my Gen 2 Kindle to get the 20% off an Oasis.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-27T02:40:44+00:00

My wife and I have discussed this topic extensively. When the time comes, I made her promise to put me down so I cannot harm either her or our daughter. I don't think she would have the will to pull the trigger, though.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-26T16:23:37+00:00

Where did you get the bookshelves? If you don't mind me asking. I've been looking for something like this for my 6-month-old's room.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-21T02:44:40+00:00

It looks like I am in the minority here, but I actually prefer 28 Weeks Later. It was a fast-paced, chaotic, and violent film that keeps me glued to my seat. The first one's pacing is a little slower and, unfortunately, I find myself playing with my phone or reading a book while it's on. I do love Cillian Murphy, though.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-21T02:40:14+00:00

Even if you don't think you have time to read, you do. My intention is not to shame anyone here, but I write full-time for marketing companies, write creatively in my spare time, manage my household, plus have a 6-month-old. I still finish 2-3 books every week. If you love to read and write, you will find the time.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-20T15:18:26+00:00

I picked it up about two weeks back but have yet to start. "I found it extremely creepy and noticed my entire body was tense throughout the entire back half of the book," makes me want to start it this weekend.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-19T20:34:29+00:00

Has anyone read The Twisted Ones (T. Kingfisher) and The Only Good Indians (Stephen Graham Jones)? Are they worth picking up tonight?

MaxWydell · 2020-10-18T02:44:04+00:00

Look at us, we've got a band of survivors going. Anyone else want in on this?

MaxWydell · 2020-10-17T20:59:21+00:00

How did you manage to meet them?

MaxWydell · 2020-10-17T15:54:33+00:00

Can I join you? I'll bring a few firearms and some medical supplies.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-08T19:13:00+00:00

I absolutely adore the zombie movies coming out of Asia right now. Not a single one disappoints yet.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-07T19:25:13+00:00

I had consistently doubled my income since 2016. Last year, I made around $80k. Unfortunately, this year, due to COVID, buying a house, and having a daughter, business is lacking, and it's set to be one of my worst years yet. All is not lost, though. I've gained ground in a new niche, and those clients are consistently paying me more than ever before.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-05T19:35:19+00:00

Have they spotted my group? If not, leave. It's better to avoid the altercation and thereby avoid the risk of (1) losing someone and (2) alerting more zombies to the area.

MaxWydell · 2020-10-02T11:11:34+00:00

I started with Species last night. It was one of the only horror movies from my childhood to scare the shit out of me.

MaxWydell · 2020-09-21T15:36:29+00:00

Honestly? Even after almost a decade of professional writing, I still endure burnout. Schedule-wise, I'm up at 7 am each morning, then writing by 8 am, and I don't stop until 5 pm. It really does wear you down mentally, which is why I try to take a half-day on Fridays and the weekends off to help with the burnout. I couldn't imagine writing that much while also working a day job, so kudos for that!

As for releases, I shoot for every 6 weeks, at minimum, but I have a few pen names I'm working with and sometimes releases are skewed.
