I have a few if that's alright:

How did you pay for it initially, especially after losing your job? Do you empathise with people who have a level of hatred towards drug users because they've been personally affected (i.e. people who've been robbed for drug money etc?) How have you dealt with police or security when stopped or questioned? Is there any legislation in Scotland which makes this legal or covers you from prosecution?

Finally, on a lighter note, what's your favourite thing to eat or drink since becoming sober?

Well done on your efforts btw, and thank you: my brother died from drug-related suicide when I was 15. You're stopping that from being the case for other young men who would otherwise lose important role models.

Thanks for the response!

With regards to the empathise question, I completely agree with you regarding safety and regulation. However, I find it hard to disagree with people when they feel that their society has been decimated by what they see as other people's bad choices. What do you say to them?

Which non-alcoholic beer? Have you had the 0% Guinness yet? It's incredible!

Oh wow, so you self published? I'm sorry, I didn't realise!

I've just graduated myself and am looking to publish too. Would you advise getting a professional editor too then?

Also (and this is cheeky but worth a shot) would you mind if I maybe sent a manuscript to you and got some advice? It's not sci-fi, but it's the actual writing style I'm more worried about and not the plot. No worries if not, just thought I'd ask!

Once again, massive congratulations! I hope this does become your full-time career 😊

Thank you so much!

I too think an editor would help, but it's good to get the advice from someone who's been down that route. I've been sending it as and when it's being written to two separate people and they've enjoyed it, so that's good but obviously it's hard to tell when someone is being nice and when they're being honest.

DM is on the way 😊 thank you!
