Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Silence: The New Rejection That's Expanding in Insidious Ways | Jane Friedman
When agents and publishers refuse to reply to submissions, is it any wonder that writers end up seeking validation from scammy alternatives?

Price Changes, Fanart Guides, Reviews and More – News From the Week
Hey folks! Today's news post is going to be a quick one. Though there's a lot to cover, most of it was covered already this week, which saw two full-sized posts on one subject or another—several of which you'll be able to guess simply by looking at the title there if you haven't read them. Though this post is going to definitely point at them.

Ha! I mamaged to find a proper word for that last one that started with a "C" after all. And make the title a collection of four, rather than three, which is a stealth commentary on ... Oh, well, you'll see. This is, after all, the weekly news post. Lets go in order and start with covers. This week, more was done for…

Topic Call For Being a Better Writer + Trip News
All right, so in a less frequent move, this post was written in advance and posted on a schedule because I need to take today to pack. It's a little unexpected (at least for you readers) but a family occurrence that has been brewing for a while now, and I've been trying to prepare for. I won't go into details because it's not needed, but I will out of my "office" at least until next Friday.

Hello writers! This week for Being a Better Writer we've got a very different writing topic to discuss, concerning a very recent—and troubling—trend found in writing circles across the web.
Hit the jump, and let's talk about it.
#BeingaBetterWriter #writing #writingtips #writers #writingnews
Being a Better Writer: Standing Firm, Without Retreat
Welcome writers, to another installment of Being a Better Writer! Which today is a different sort of topic than we normally get. Sometimes we're very nuts and bolts with writing, such as when we discuss style, fight scenes, or character leitmotifs. But other times here on BaBW, we take a further step back and go more conceptual or wide-range, like when we talk about the importance of reading as a writer.

Sands and Storms, my week has been kind of busy! Granted, I had family in town, but still, there's a lot to talk about today! So let's dive right into it! First up, the elephant in the room: Life, The Universe, and Everything is next week. That's right, it's practically here (but hopefully there's no LTUE Grinch waiting somewhere nearby on a summit).

Down to the Razor Wire – Covers and Other News
Well folks, it's sink or swim. Down to the wire (and it's razor sharp and thin). Whatever other turn of phrase you want to put on it. Things are tight. But ... as usual when things are down to the wire, there is some stuff going on. Good stuff, too. For example, the cover for Axtara - Armies and Accounting…

Hello there readers. I hope you've all had a solid week? Things are progressing here, as you may gather from this being a news post.

New Axtara Fanart, Some Sick Days, and a Remembrance
Hey folks! I know, it's been kind of quiet this week. Why? Well, I'd been noticing a scratchiness in the back of my throat that was getting worse on Monday and Tuesday, and by Wednesday it had come with soreness, some light sniffles, and fatigue. Enough fatigue and brain fog that after doing a bunch of chores and errands, I knew my brain would…
