The murder of Elizabeth "Beth" Barnard happened the night of Monday, 22 September 1986 on Phillip Island, Australia. Vivienne Cameron went missing the same night. Many dispute official findings that Vivienne killed Beth then committed suicide by jumping from the Phillip Island bridge.

I've tried here to spell out all the confusing elements, mostly taken from book The Phillip Island Murder by Vikki Petraitis and Paul Daley. This case is often posted on Reddit, but sometimes with elements missing.

#Phillip Island

Phillip Island is one of Victoria's most famous and popular holiday spots and for years hosted visitors from nearby Melbourne as well as interstate and international tourists. It is easily reached from Melbourne by car and is in no way isolated. Most visitors drive in via the bridge to the island. The tourist industry there has long been robust. Scenes from 1959 film On the Beach were shot on Phillip Island. The Island has surf and swimming beaches, and several farms.

#Beth and the Camerons

23-year-old Beth Barnard lived alone at her parent's holiday house on McFees Road, Rhyll, on Phillip Island.

In 1984 Beth took a job as a ranger at the Island's most famous tourist activity, the Penguin Parade. There Beth met and befriended fellow ranger Fergus Cameron, a married man who with his siblings and their spouses ran a farm on Watts Road, Ventnor, near the Penguin Parade.

The Cameron family:

• Fergus Cameron and his wife Vivienne Cameron. They had two sons. The marriage was often strained

• Fergus Cameron's sister Marnie Cairns and Marnie's husband Ian Cairns

• Fergus Cameron's brother Donald Cameron and Donald's wife Pamela Cameron

The three couples lived in separate farmhouses on the spread of farmland on Watts Road.

In April 1985 Beth took a second job, as a farmhand for the Cameron family. In May she began a sexual relationship with Fergus Cameron. By December Vivienne suspected the affair.

Pamela Cameron says she became close friends with Beth, who was considered part of the family. Beth reportedly referred to Donald Cameron as Uncle Donald or Grandpa. Pamela's children treated Beth as a sister.

Thoughts flying I can't keep track, Moving like Stewart making another lap, Everything mixing, like a bartender mixing, McDonald's nuggets, Cloudy visions directly on tap, Flesh so slow I'm feeling like a puppet, I'm no hermit crab, I'm moving like a G6, You're moving like your sea sick, You can't keep up with my vibe, You're just to weak, You barely move in a whole week, Your my scribe, But your to slow, You Can't go, Because you don't know, What it's like to have my thoughts, But you'll never catch me with a that, I'm just too high, And you can't fly, Like an f22 high up in the sky, So don't even try, To keep up with me, I don't mean to pry, But why can't you see, You just can't keep up with me, I'm to fast, Don't cry, Your in the past, Like a sac fly, I leave you in a full body cast, If you keep up and try, You'll just fall, I'm too fast, And your too tall, It looks like you're moving at a crawl, While I'm fast as supersonic, You need a tonic, Because I'm way to demonic, I just move like sonic, The hedhog, You to slow dog, Time for you to have some tonic, And sit back, And relax, And sit on a tack, You stupid jack, It's time for me to whack, Anything and everything, Like you wearing slacks, I'm just the king, And your just a thir rate act.

What are some excellent fantasy and Science-fiction books by Christian writers like C.S. Lewis J.R.R Tolkien and George McDonald?

The task:

I'd like for other writers to read this introduction to a short story I'm writing and tell me what they think works, doesn't work, ingrained flaws of my writing, tweaks, etc. Tell me what you like about it, what you think works (if anything), and also anything and everything you think doesn't work or quite simply trash or superfluous (feel free to be brutal if it's necessary). Would be super grateful.

Most helpful advice gets either a Gold or a 500 coin gift. Up to them.

Introduction

I live in a pretty moderate neighbourhood in the UK, drab and homogenous enough to blend in with everything else; a maze of red brick houses, orderly bins outside driveways, empty cars, small shops here and there with cashiers you've known for years but only to say a passing "Thanks" to as you walk out of the door with your stuff. It's peaceful and quiet for the most part, but just like any neighbourhood it has its fair share of disorder.

Evidence of entropy is everywhere, from the cracks in the pavements, to the packets of crisps and leftover McDonalds blowing around in the stormy English weather, the Coke cans gleaming maroon in the depressing evening sky, or the abandoned shopping trolley that had for long been rusting in a forgotten park. Not to mention the BMX gangs that rode around the streets late at night, smashing beer bottles and shouting. You could hear them from miles away, like hyenas, and I often lay awake in the middle of the night wondering what drama was going down, never really being able to piece together a story.

For the most part, me and my flatmate just kept our heads down, working our boring day jobs and trying to get on with life without too much hardship. I, particularly, had gotten myself into a repeating pattern of eat, work, internet, sleep; working in the day, learning about shady things in the night. I had begun to see myself as a kind of detective, the way I researched strange and obscure criminality and taboo subject matter in the dead of night. All from the safety of my man cave, of course. I have to admit, even though nothing really new happened, I felt like I had a good thing going. I was comfortable.

Perhaps what made our residential area unique or special, is that it could only be accessed by three main roads. Lined with towering pines and giant oaks, these roads served as gateways that separated our claustrophobic suburban world from the expanse of everything else. One led to town, and the others to miles and miles

These are just some brief comments on various mystery writers—mostly but not exclusively “Golden Age”—that have been rattling around my head for a while and that I’m just trying to get down on paper (i.e., pixels) here. I wrote some long comments on Ellery Queen here, so I won’t repeat myself on “him.” And, of course, you’re more than welcome to agree, disagree, critique my critiques, give your own takes on whichever writers you choose, etc. OK, so…

Agatha Christie
    Christie is most people’s introduction to Golden Age mystery fiction, and for good reason. She had a consistently engaging, cheerful prose style, a talent for character-sketching, and a skill for mystery plotting.
    Christie’s greatest ability, however, was in making it all look so easy. She figured out perhaps better than anyone except Christianna Brand and Ellen Raskin how to inflect puzzle plot and story so that the reader wants to see how the mystery is solved and how the character arcs are resolved. That consistent forward momentum—looking forward at how will this end, rather than back at who killed so-and-so—is hard to do in mysteries, yet Christie made it look effortless (something that takes an enormous amount of effort).
    And her plotting technique is impeccable. Because she blends puzzle and story, she can plant clues in character gestures and nuances, and her solutions therefore feel as inevitable as they are surprising, that best and rarest blend. What’s more, her technique was so good that you get that blend not only in her best works—The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The A.B.C. Murders, Death on the Nile, Five Little Pigs, Ten Little Indians, Towards Zero, The Pale Horse, Endless Night—but also in such excellent second-stringers as The Sittaford Mystery, Peril at End House, Lord Edgware Dies, The Murder at the Vicarage, and The Moving Finger, among others.
    For all my admiration of her technique, Christie is not my favorite mystery writer. She knew how to pull off a stunning surprise, but far too often she was reliant on a few tricks that she repeated multiple times. Evil Under the Sun, for example, is beautifully plotted, with some of the best clues in the

Did you know there was once a con artist who 'sold' the Eiffel tower? Or an Italian aviator who created a hippy utopia during WW1? Or that the first foreigner to cross the border into Tibet was a woman?

I’m Mathilde Hirsch, the writer and director of THE LOST ONES series, co-produced by ARTE and INA, which mixes archive images and electro music to bring to life largely forgotten characters from history with incredible destinies.

THE LOST ONES follows in the footsteps of fascinating individuals such as Monsieur Chouchani, one the greatest philosophers of the 20th century, whose students became Nobel Prize winners but who himself chose to live in poverty; or Alexandra David-Neel, the first foreigner to cross the Tibetan border in 1924, a feat that took her 6 months to complete, battling frostbite across mountainous terrain. There is also Guido Keller, an Italian air pilot who seized the town of Fiume in 1919 in order to create a modern-day utopia where women could vote, a minimum wage was introduced and homosexuality was accepted and the Russian noblewoman Isabelle Eberhardt who travelled solo around the Sahara in the 19th century, becoming one of the first specialists in Sufism and Arab culture. Lev Sergeyevich Termen was a political prisoner who spent 30 years in a Siberian gulag and was also the creator of the first electronic instrument in history, the theremin. Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings and Gottfried von Cramm was an exceptional German tennis player who won both the French and US Opens and, at the height of his success, dared to go against Hitler. Victor Lustig was the con artist who ‘sold’ the Eiffel tower.

The two seasons were selected at the International Documentary Festival (FIPADOC), at the Luchon Festival and awarded at the Independent Film Festival in Rome.

The stories of Chouchani but also Alma Mahler, gold-hunter Jaako Isola, the ruined aristocrat Luisa Casati, painter-visionary Seraphine de Senlis and ‘merchant of death’ Basile Zaharoff, legendary in their own right, also draw us into the wider narratives of their respective eras.

In addition to THE LOST ONES I co-wrote the podcast "VARENNES" which immerses us in the psyche of eight characters caught in the turmoil of the French Revolution and I am the author of a biography on Nina Simone (which was awarded the Simone Veil Prize), the result of a long investigation that took me from North Carolina to Amsterdam, via New York, London and th

A search through Google’s massive archive of scanned books and periodicals finds that many subsequent occurrences of flyover country come from people who put the phrase in someone else’s mouth.

Rarely is it ever used by a New Yorker or Angelino as a pejorative.

McGuane lived in Montana. “This must have come from the time I worked in movies, an industry that seemed to acknowledge only two places, New York and LA,” McGuane says when asked how he came to the phrase. “I recall being annoyed that the places I loved were places that air travel allowed you to avoid.”

Hence the self-coining of flyover country—it’s a way for Midwesterners to define themselves. It’s defensive but self-deprecating, a way of shouting out for attention but also a means for identifying yourself by your home region’s lack of attention.

The Writer

How far would you go to tell the perfect story?

Written by Gregory Patrick Travers

My therapist, Dr. Raymond, has cleverly deduced that I suffer from mild paranoia. But what the simple doctor does not understand is that I am not paranoid, I am prepared. You see, it is all a matter of perception. Dr. Raymond’s reality was a linear one; he saw things in the first person, subjectively, in a straight line. I, on the other hand, saw reality in the third person, objectively, as the narrator, with a birds-eye view, scanning the entirety of reality’s infinite depth and possibilities. And that being the case, along with the knowledge of the sins in my past, my fear of being tracked down and plotted against was not one of paranoia, but of sound logic.

Much of that fear drives from guilt, I am sure. It is the little bit of human feeling left in me that clings to man’s etiquette, believing I should answer for the crime I committed. I saw a priest who told me that feelings of paranoia are signs of the guilty soul screaming for confession. But God has seen what I have done and on my day of judgment if He cannot see the reasoning to my actions, well, then He is just as short-sighted as Dr. Raymond.

Until that day I remain, Grant Hull–New York Times Bestseller. The author of “Held Up”, critically praised as, and I quote, “The most realistic depiction of the life of a bank robber in our time.” My book has given me literary recognition, public praise and wealth beyond my wildest expectations. Does this not prove even as we punish and imprison the thieves, rapists, and murderers that society secretly has a passionate yearning to swim in the dark thoughts of society’s most evil creations?

The publishing industry knows this and year after year they publish weak attempts to capture the life of society’s darkest. The books are penned by authors who pull their research from dramatic fiction or Hollywood movies. But when these “authors”, if that is what they choose to call themselves, draw upon inauthentic sources like Hollywood they produce an inauthentic story. Then, the game of broken telephone begins and author after author draws upon the inauthentic stories before him, creating an even more far-fetched attempt to capture the essence of the bank robber, the rapist, the murderer. But those books will come and go, making a small profit but quickly forgotten in the collective consciousness of society. I wished not to be just another waste of paper but one

I’m the author of many highly acclaimed travelogues and novels, including The Great Railway Bazaar, The Mosquito Coast, On the Plain of Snakes, and Under the Wave at Waimea. In 2015, I was awarded a Royal Medal from the Royal Geographical Society for “the encouragement of geographical discovery through travel writing.” My books, The Old Patagonian Express: By Train through the Americas, and The Mosquito Coast were both nominated for the American Book Award. Many of my books have been made into films and series including The Mosquito Coast, which is now an Apple TV series starring my nephew, Justin Theroux.

To preface this, I wanna say that I LOVE swords as much as the next guy. I acknowledge and admire their versatility and diversity in shape and size and martial arts associated with them. My favorite sword is the noble and commanding and graceful rapier personally.

That being said, other weapons can be just as badass and in some cases noble as swords can be too, and it would be nice to see more fantasy heroes using them.

I’m writing a novel where the main character uses a glaive and a war club as her primary weapons, and various characters, even from more “civilized” nations (the MC is a tribeswoman), have characters wielding various weapons themselves, though swords are not by any means absent.

Many people would argue polearms to be only good in formation, and I feel this is a misguided and western idea. The one point I’ll agree with is difficulty of casual carry, even as a walking stick with the blade covered in cloth (as Zhang Fei did in one of the many Romance of the Three Kingdoms cartoons). Otherwise, show us more badass polearm duels! Swords and other one handed weapons will always have a reach issue and it’s not as simple to get around the length as it is often said to be either.

Edit: I did not intend to speak of raw unfiltered realism. My point was mainly to dash the idea that, be it realistic swordplay or fantastical epic swordplay, polearms just cave to swords or whatever. Polearms deserve more credit than often given against such weapons is all.

In general, I think swords, while well worthy of respect and praise, are starting to annoy me and become overplayed. In fact, I think it’s been that way for years now! I just wish people tried something new more often.

The email inbox swelled with incredulity the day Nikola Jokic rose to the top spot in the Kia Race to the MVP Ladder for the first time.

That took place back near the end of March, and since then, Jokic only strengthened his case with virtually every performance.

“He’s kind of gone wire-to-wire at this high level,” Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash said earlier this month. “He makes teammates better and everything go. They lost Jamal Murray, and they haven’t really skipped a beat. That shows how good he is.”

It’s also part of the reason Jokic finishes the 2020-21 season at No. 1 in the Kia Race to the MVP Ladder.

We acknowledge Stephen Curry’s incredible season, as the former two-time Kia MVP captured the scoring title on Sunday with a 46-point effort in Golden State’s regular-season finale. Impressive, for sure. He connected on 42.1% on 12.7 3-point attempts per game this season, which eclipses the clip at which he produced during his MVP seasons from 2015 and ’16, and we acknowledge there’s no way the Warriors would have secured a spot in the State Farm Play-In Tournament without the veteran’s contributions.

Even LeBron James made sure to give Curry his MVP props ahead of their 103-100 Play-In victory against the Warriors.

“We get caught up in the [win-loss] record sometimes,” James said. “We get caught up in the, ‘OK, who has the best record, instead of saying who had the best season that year. Steph has had, in my opinion, the best season all year.”

But the truth is win-loss records matter.

And despite Curry’s mind-boggling production for a team that wouldn’t have advanced as far as they did without him, he didn’t conjure up enough total team success to knock Jokic off the top of the heap.

It’s expected — at least from this vantage point — that Jokic will win the actual Kia MVP vote in a landslide with Curry finishing somewhere in the top five alongside Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Chris Paul — all candidates leading teams ranked in the top three of their respective conferences.

Curry won his second NBA scoring title, averaging 31.8 points at age 33, making him the oldest scoring champion since Michael Jordan accomplished the feat at 34 during the 1997-98 season.

“Obviously, I’m appreciative that [James] knows when he says something, people pay attention,” Curry said. “So, for him to speak on my MVP candidacy, I respect him for it, and I appreciate it.

And now, the top 5 candidates for MVP :

Hey Reddit! I'm Mike Trapp - I was a writer and cast member of CollegeHumor for five years (and worked other, more invisible positions at CH for five years before that). I’ve written tons of internet sketches, popular shows like WTF101, and deeply unpopular shows like Ultramechatron Team Go!

You might also know me from Um, Actually - a game show where funny people correct inaccurate statements about nerdy things. I’m not with CollegeHumor full-time anymore, but we're still making new episodes for Dropout.tv, and old episodes come out regularly on the Um, Actually Youtube channel. We also launched a Kickstarter to make a home game version of Um, Actually, in partnership with games company, Wiggles3D (which closes in less than 2 days, so if you wanna back that, now's the time).

Additionally, I've been in stuff like Zac Oyama's The Rotating Heroes Podcast (a D＆D actualplay podcast), Dimension 20: Escape From the Bloodkeep (a D＆D actualplay show), and Adam Ruins Everything (which is not a D＆D actualplay).

And now I'm here (starting at 1pm PT) to answer your questions, talk comedy, and repeatedly insist there’s no proof I killed Pat Cassels. AMA!

TrueAchievements - Tom West - 4.5 / 5 stars

>Overall, Dungeons & Dragon: Dark Alliance is a fantastic example of a third-person action RPG, offering a great amount of story and lore through varying missions. With only a few minor setbacks aside, I’d have no problem saying that Tuque Games has brought my Drizzt Do’Urden and companions fantasies to life in all of the best ways. I’ll be seeing this game through to the very end without a shadow of a doubt, and have no issue recommending it to anybody that enjoys action RPGs. Grab some buddies and head to Icewind Dale — you won’t regret it!

PC Gamer - Andy Kelly - 82 / 100

>A furiously entertaining action RPG whose horrible monsters are a delight to slay, whether you're playing solo or co-op.

>Since he can’t accuse them of deceptively editing videos, Mackey complains that McGinnis and Co. didn’t devote equal time to the peaceful protesters because it didn’t fit their agenda. He points out that the majority of BLM protests were peaceful and casts the violence and destruction as a fringe activity, never mind that an estimated $1–2 billion in property damage was done across 20 states in a matter of a few weeks. The small town of Kenosha alone suffered $2 million in property damage.

>The violence and property destruction was much more prevalent than Mackey suggests, but there’s also a simpler and more likely explanation for why the riot squad focused on the mayhem: They’re reporters, so they looked for a compelling story that wasn’t being covered

With the recent hype surrounding the relaunch of Milestone Media and the release of Static: Season One #1, many old and new fans are looking to read the original Milestone comics. If you have questions about what Milestone is, how it fits into DC Comics, or where to read the stories involving these characters; you’re in the right place!

Commonly asked questions

Q: What is Milestone Media?

A: Milestone Media is a comic book company that was founded by the all-star creative line-up of Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, Derek T. Dingle, and the DCAU super-star Dwayne McDuffie. Similar to the creation of Image Comics, these like minded individuals combined their talents to produce an imprint that depicted experiences and perspectives that the comic book community was not discussing at the time. Their main goal was to address and correct the lack of representation of minorities in superheroes comics. This resulted in the creation of iconic characters such as Icon, Rocket, Hardware, and the highly regarded Static Shock.

Q: How is Milestone connected to DC Comics?

A: Milestone is an imprint that is published and distributed through DC Comics. The owners of Milestone Media retain creative ownership and the copyrights to their characters and merchandising. They are also largely unaffected by DC editorial mandates, however, DC has the final say if they do not want something published. Essentially, DC is only responsible for licensing the imprint’s properties as they get a share of the profits. All comics are branded with the DC logo, but are categorized under the Milestone imprint.

Q: What continuity does Milestone follow?

A: The characters of Milestone exist in a separate continuity from DC Comics. The original comics were dubbed the Dakotaverse after the fictional Midwestern city the characters inhabited. The 2021 relaunch rebrands their continuity to exist on Earth-M, an alternate Earth within the greater DC Multiverse.

Q: I've seen Milestone characters in other DC media, when did they separate them?

A: [They were always separated](https://www.cbr.com/why-mi

Yeah, the fact that Coleman promoted it on InfoWars and RT after taking over as Qanon when the initial one stopped is what gave it legs. Him appearing on those - widely seen as "legit" news sources for conspiracy theorists - and then bringing it to Reddit with the CBTS_Stream subreddit (t

Also, this article is from April 30th, so he mentions GME but keep in mind more news has happened since then

Nearly fifteen years ago, on December 10, 2006, the CEO of Senderra, a subprime mortgage lender owned by Goldman, Sachs, sent a grim report to its parent company. “Credit quality has risen to become the major crisis in the non-prime industry,” Senderra CEO Brad Bradley wrote, adding that “we are seeing unprecedented defaults and fraud in the market.” Within four days, senior executives at Goldman decided to “get closer to home” by unloading risky mortgage instruments. They didn’t alert regulators, of course, but did save their own hides, with Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein soon after ordering subordinates to sell off the ugly “cats and dogs” in their mortgage portfolio.

Around the same time that Goldman was having its come-to-Jesus moment, rival Lehman Brothers was going the other way. In one meeting, the bank’s head of fixed income, Mike Gelband, pounded a table, telling the firm’s infamous Vaderqsque CEO Richard “Dick” Fuld and hatchetman-president Joe Gregory there was a $15-18 trillion time bomb of lethal leverage hanging over the markets. Once it blew, it would be the “grandaddy of credit crunches,” and Lehman would be toast.

Fuld and Gregory scoffed. They didn’t understand mortgage deals well and thought Gelband lacked nerve. “Be creative,” they told him, adding, “What are you afraid of?”

“We called it ‘Goldman Penis Envy,’” says Lawrence McDonald, former Lehman trader and author of A Colossal Failure of Common Sense. In telling the Gelband story, he explains that Fuld and Gregory were so desperate to beat out Goldman and become the richest men on Wall Street, they chased every bad deal at the peak of the speculative bubble. “These tertiary financial institutions, in order to win business away from the big players, they have to continually juice their offerings, offer more leverage, more goodies,” says McDonald. “Dick and Joe, they wanted to do these banking deals, to steal Goldman’s business by offering more.” In the end, Goldman got out just in time, and Lehman – which had scored record profits in every year from 2005 through 2007, pulling in $19.3 billion in revenue in 2007 alone – became a bug on the windshield of history.

In the triggering episode, Goldman w

Am I the only one that loves this? Kinda like I passed through all the these tribulations to finally get rewarded for my loyalty.

The novel that makes me feel that way right now is "Alchemy and Martial Supreme", like the novel dont get me wrong started of very good and it avoided a lot of the beginner story tropes that u usually get in kinda isekai themes and the storytelling was ok for the most part i enjoyed it.

BUT MAN.....

Idk what got into this guy towards this later half of the story but to me i feel like every chapter is done with clinical precision (especially the fights, dude is a monster at writing suspenseful yet short fights atm) . The character development becomes on point (you can feel the MC struggling against the world) the new side characters become extremely fleshed out and its one of the few times that i Wuxia/Xanxia ever wrote of villain that actually makes me scared for the Main Character.

End Rant but yea it its indeed impressive when Authors get in stride and improve drastically from the beginning.

The U.S. Capitol locked down Wednesday with lawmakers inside as violent clashes broke out between supporters of President Donald Trump and police.

An announcement was played inside the Capitol as lawmakers were meeting and expected to vote to affirm Joe Biden’s victory. Due to an "external security threat," no one could enter or exit the Capitol complex, the recording said.

Both chambers abruptly went into recess.

"SafeMoon believes that manual burning will give them more control of the coin’s supply and price." - The devs are against manual burns per their confirmed Reddit accounts and the project relies on burns via Tokenomics to manage deflation. - https://www.reddit.com/r/SafeMoon/comments/nhwg87/a_message_from_the_ceo_21mar2021/ - "Manual burns will not continue and have not been done in awhile."

"We know little about the creators of SafeMoon, except that there are six leaders." - The team is doxxed and very active on social media, Safemoon is a registered products and services company in the US, and they currently have an 86 on their Certek security audit score that involves an extensive background check for everyone involved. - https://www.certik.org/projects/safemoon

Long read, TLDR at the bottom

This is an addition of a post made a few months ago. If you've already read that one, jump to "2021"

It’s no joke that 2020 sucked for most people, and most communities. Pokemon has been no exception. The year started out with mass panic and overall general panic buying, mostly of toilet paper and foods. This would soon transition to shiny cardboard, as we all know. On April 8th, the Pokemon Center offered free shipping for a very short amount of time. Right after this both Pokemon Centers and stores closed up shop due to Covid, with all locations opening back up by June 1st. Some locations operated on shorter hours, since then all have gotten back to normal operating ours. This created a month long backlog of production issues, which the Pokemon company had to fight to catch up with, and is still fighting as their production is at max capacity.

I do feel for the Pokemon company because they were definitely caught off guard by ‘rona, but that was nothing compared to what the following months would bring them.

Logan Paul, who has gotten into Pokemon primarily as an investment based off recommendation of Gary Vanerchuck -a well known investor and internet celebrity- who has also spoken heavily about investing in Pokemon, has played a huge part in this. As did former rapper, Logic and DJ Steven Aoki, as well as other smaller celebrities. (Looking at you, Rob Kardashian. Jk pretty sure no one knew)

On September 25th, Paul uploaded a photo holding a Base Set Charizard with the caption, “nostalgia + business = the new art. just bought an estate’s worth of Pokemon cards, most fun investment I’ve ever made (s/o u/ garyvee for pushing me!!)... these things are appreciating like crazy as collectibles are becoming very low supply, high demand art pieces. Alakazam is my personal favorite”

Despite this post, which currently has 515k likes on Instagram, I think we can all attribute October as the month that shit went sideways, at least, more than normal.

On October 9th, Logan live streamed the opening of a first edition base set booster box. During this stream he did a box break and sold each pack, except one that he saved for himself, for the high price of $11,111 each. During this charity stream, he employed the help of a shiny lil’ man who goes by CollectiblesGuru. This man quickly became one of the most hated individuals in the entire Pokemon community, but more on that in a minute. Paul, with his massive influence of nearly 23 m

I hear the question a lot about people wanting to give up their jobs to publish a book and hopefully live the life of successful authors like J.K Rowling and George R.R. Martin with the reality of it being very unlikely.

Now, I'm not about being a choosing beggar and saying 'let me read your book for free!' type, I understand the saying that 'money doesn't buy you happiness, but it does make life a hell of a lot easier' and I'm not gonna turn down the possibility of getting a second income either if I can manage it.

Everyone's got their reasons for writing, but I'm led to believe if that your driving motivation for writing and publishing your book is purely monetary gain, not only are you going to be hit with a cruel reality, is your book even going to feel authentic and passionate? How do you expect people to care about your work if all you care about is the money it brings in?

Gone off the rails but to my main question: If you woke up one day and became a billionaire through an inheritance or the lottery, would you still continue writing in the hopes of getting it published?
