Dear Emily, I'm sorry I disemboweled your chicken and ate it.

Dear Emily
I'm sorry I disemboweled your chicken and ate it.
I didn't know it was a pet and I am ashamed.
Please accept this book as a token of my now unending morose continuum..

I know I'm not as good as I could be at marketing. I have a small project that I'm confident won't get away on me. It's too small.

My local bus stop looks normal.

However inside is a small library of free books that has lived now three months and is curated and maintained closely by an unknown entity.


 I added my first book three months ago and it had vanished by the next day. I waited a month and then added my other book. It stayed for two weeks before it began its journey.

Oh yeah, marketing. I've written two books, the first meandering memoirs and the second a collection of essays and some scripts.
Both books make me feel like I'm a flibbertigibbet but you work with what you have.
It's time for me to secrete my next book, another copy of the second one.
From now on I'm going to add fictional absurd inscriptions to each book beginning with.


Dear Emily

Please accept this book as a token of my now unending morose continuum..

Digital Gardens,

 Came across the term 'digital garden' and fired up an AI to get to the bottom of it.

"Digital gardens are online spaces where individuals can plant "seeds" of ideas, notes, thoughts, and content, and allow them to grow and interconnect over time. Unlike traditional blogs or websites, digital gardens embrace an exploratory, non-linear structure, with notes and ideas linked through contextual associations rather than strict chronological order."
Well well well, I thought.
I made one of them last year over a couple of months.
There's no quality control, some of it's absolute blither and some worse than that and the public facing aspect seems a little catholic, a little penitential.
I doubt it's interesting but if you didn't already now you know what a digital garden is.
I might point my self styled flattery-AI at it. The one that addresses me as his eminence and praises my whimsy.
and for those who are more picture orientated here you go...
My driveway at night.
