I understand that, and sympathise. At the same time eg Netflix cancels shows because of their rather brutal maths of 'viewings of whole series in first month' versus 'cost of making show'. So the more people who decide not to watch until a continuation is assured, the less likely that is to happen.

Netflix operate a brutal policy of cancellation if the number of viewings of the complete series in the first month after release falls below a certain ratio in relation to the cost of the show. Very short-sighted.

Sorry to hear work is thin, but all power to your creative elbow for your attitude in the face of that. So glad to read the bit about Lovecraft Investigations/Pleasant Green! "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of Thing shall be well." Particularly if Thing hath tentacles.

And so well. I just finished listening to her reading of the Final Architecture trilogy - all those accents! I laughed a lot. As well as doing being thrilled by the story. Excellent. Jolly well done to you both, and thank you.

Well that figures - possibly explains why I thought there might be a causal link, but no: a shared root instead!

Pretty sure my old man has undiagnosed war-related PTSD - he once told me his earliest memory was of coming out of a shelter in his home city of Hull after a raid to find many of the houses on his road bombed out, and "red smears on the walls where people had been". And I'm Gen X, I think.
