Going into that hibernation mood WHEN YOU STILL HAVE SHIT TO DO.

My step daughter wants to help Sea Turtles. My kid's book is perfect for Xmas. Visit my shop and all the procedes will help fund her trip. davidparkin.org/shop It was nominated for an award. Loads of great reviews. It's about a disembodied talking nose. What more do you want?

Writing help: I need a mildly amusing, but legitimate and genuine 80s song. The rule of three. A girl is doing coves. So far we’ve had Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’, Toto’s ‘Africa’ and just need one more, slightly naff number for a gentle punchline.

I’m writing a book about sectioning and I’m not saying I’ve done my research but my mum took my meds by mistake once and we thought she was having a stroke. #WritingCommmunity
