Drum roll, please… I think we’re live

After several days of mucking around on the computer, pressing buttons and generally trying to figure out how it all works, the scribes think that they have finally gone live with their author website. If you are reading this, then it would seem that they are correct in their belief. Whether or not the website is working in the way intended is another matter entirely…

So, you might be asking, why bother? What’s the point? Well, it’s a good question and the answer is quite simple—having a social media presence is all fine and dandy but if some maniac billionaire tech-bro does something idiotic or decides to burn it all down then where do you go? Answer: somewhere else. However, Whatever following you may have had will be gone and you have to start all over again. That is, unless you have your own website where folks can always find you and maybe subscribe to a newsletter. At least, that’s the theory.

To mark the occasion, the scribes have taken the executive decision (after it was suggested to them by Alexa the scullery maid) to reduce the price of all their current publications in all of the international markets where they are for sale. They hope that it will help to make them a little more affordable for those watching the pennies/cents/etc. That and them not having sold many of late and it might help them shift a few copies.

I suppose the next question is what will appear in these scrivenings? Truth to tell, I’m not exactly sure. As Indiana Jones said, I’m making this up as I go. Some of it will be about writerly things and what the scribes have been up to lately. There will probably be musings on the whole general sort of mish-mash and state of the world, or at least the wildflower meadow (formerly the front lawn) that the scribes are so proud of because it is helping the bees. There will be recipes too as the scribes are currently working on The Scriptorium Cookbook and would like you to try some of them out. They have a very good recipe for porridge that they would like to share. Beyond that, who knows? All I can say is stick around, it might get interesting.
