| Chapter 23
“But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she’s going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can’t stand it. I been there before.” ― Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Light out for the Territory. Practical advice for writers who are drowning in the internet. The internet is a glitterball of distraction. You know how much you like shiny things. It’s a wonder you ever get any work done. Unplug. Disappear. Turn off the news. Come off social media.

“We’re all just space-monkeys, really.” — James Garside Ultra short off-the-cuff review of an obscure recording about a legendary occultist. I enjoyed it way more than I let on at the time. It’s a little more about Hyatt than Regardie but still worth your time. What to expect? Aliens, magick, the Golden Dawn. You know. The usual. It might help if you know who Israel Regardie is. But if you don’t know then listen anyway. Then you will know. You see how this works. Nobody.

“I’ve got sand in my dreamcatcher.” — James Garside This is a short review of a book that I didn’t like very much. Barely a few lines and an insult. I feel bad about it. But not enough to read the book again or write a longer review. To be honest I wasn’t sure whether to bother reading it out. But I’ve committed to reading everything out loud at least once so here we are. Am I being unfair? Is the book any good? Read it and make up your own mind. I’m not your mom. Nobody.
