Thank You

Just a quick THANK YOU post here... and maybe an insight into how it feels being an 8 FIGURE (over 10 million worldwide) view writer...

Views have been pretty surreal lately... like even when I haven't been posting my hard to get to blog https://markhowitt.blogspot.com/ has been doing over 3,000 views a day... from places like BRAZIL and SAUDI ARABIA where I've never been...
In this day and age you really can have a worldwide impact as a writer... you have to keep at it though... engage with good readers and just keep the flow real...
I've been at the stage now for years where I've written what I want without the need to get paid. I can't be bought. If you see me recommending a product etc I'll probably already have it myself. Readers can see my political views have been consistent for years and more UK people are resonating with that now... more political writing to come for sure...
Ideally I would like to be paid etc a bit more... support like likes are appreciated too... yet I'll always find some time for writing...
When I look at my Facebook friend list I'm honestly surprised how many cool people are on there... I'm choosy who I let on, I'm even choosy to extent about LinkedIn connections... yet some real winners there...
On the internet people can read things in their own time... and often I'll slam out messages at like 2 in the morning... sometimes people write to me at that time...
So yeah if you're a writer... stay true to yourself... create a flow... always keep reading and learning... and maybe you'll be an 8 figure writer too one day.... thanks for reading 🙂

Huddersfield have a storied history in chess. Its residents created what was to become the oldest chess magazine, and famous players have lived and played here...
Just like the football team however, sometimes it can be hard to predict the results when it comes to its current chessplayers. Sure, I did expect a Huddersfield win today... yet if you asked me at the start of the season if Huddersfield would win every single game in the Yorkshire league I'd be surprised.
As one of the strongest current chessplayers living in Huddersfield, I thought about making myself available for selection, yet told myself I hadn't trained enough. Holmfirth could have put out a stronger team than this. Readers worldwide should know that most chessplayers are NOT PAID for playing the vast majority of league chess, and may choose to do something else instead...
Truth of the matter is, many of Yorkshire's best young players were playing the British Rapidplay on Saturday down south. However... Holmfirth probably wished that some of their players would make a short trip to a venue they've played many times before. Greg Eagleton, defeated by the writer with the black pieces in 2004 despite some help from his dad, was no where to be seen. Isaacc Fossey has decided to play for Doncaster. Thinking of the future, Holmfirth could perhaps have selected Jacob Westmoreland...
A comfortable victory, and one that ensures that Huddersfield wins the IM Brown. Congratulations!
