I’ve hung around on Twitter for too long under the belief that you need it if you want to make a career as a writer. I hate twitter, and it’s sapped too much of my time already.

If anybody needs me, I’ll be writing. I’ll come back with a book deal or I won’t come back at all.

“I don& #39;t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I& #39;ve put this off for far too long...
I regret to announce: this is the end. I’m going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell.

Goodbye."
