Protest, Dark Times, and My Book

I am absolutely delighted to share Sylvia Petter's blog entry on Creatures Give Advice 

Sylvia Petter is an author of several books and multiple flash stories.
She is a regular contributor to the wonderful world which is the Twitter writing community. I was particularly taken by her Ad-Hoc Fiction winning piece, 'I, and My Lovers'. She also regularly tweets about worrying trends in Austrian politics.

I was so glad to read what she said about the creatures: 'I must thank a bunch of creatures that unexpectedly kept me sane with just the right dose of crazy [... ]  'No political movement this. Just a bit of clever and astute craziness in the mad world many of us ignore while others succumb to the siren songs of supremacy and tribalism.

 Read this entry and browse through the rest of Sylvia's blog. It is worth it.

 I also have to thank her for some new questions for the second creature book, Creatures Give Advice Again (and it's warmer now). 

 Here's one of the answers (minus the text). Feel free to guess what it is about.  The second books is planned for release on 21 June 2019

Lesson 1: Always order a proof copy. This is Amazon KDP’s new feature. It does mean that you have to wait, but it is worth it. Now, I am a person pursued by typos.

When the proof finally arrived, the typos were all there, giggling.                                             Spelling Lessons in the Forest of Typos  By the way, my initial impatience resulted in a single copy with pretty unique typos.   One of my twitter friends has it, and I feel guilty about it. Lesson 2: Prepare to wait and suffer. After I’ve gone over the proof I made changes to the paperback and the ebook, but there was a catch. While the book went live, the changes took a while to update. As I didn’t realise that was the case, I might have slowed down the process by uploading the corrected file ...

Road not-taken

We have received the following question from  a rambling collective   @ zerofracks   'Do I take the road less travelled or the highway, and what will happen if I stray from the path?' 'Just so you know, those who judge you from above, or pop up out on the path in front of you, or even those who carry heavy loads in many directions, know very little of the nature of roads, or dragons' Note: a rambling collective was one of the people who did not make it into the first book .  It is now part of the second book, due to be published on 21 June 2019.  Another note: If you'd like a special doodle in answer to your question, and don't want to wait until the next round, you can order one from the creatures.
