In many ways, it was still better than March. Running updates I ran a 10km race, as I usually do once a month, in 1h25! In comparison, I did the same distance last month in 1h37. I’m quite happy about it. And I got a medal for it! Isn’t it gorgeous?

I've lived all over starting in Phuket, then Koh Tao, Koh Lanta, Chiang Mai and have spent significant time in the other popular spots including Bangkok, Koh Samui, etc. But there's a new favorite city for me that I've been living in now for the past 3 years. I'm a bit shocked how undiscovered it is as it's just an… ## [Would you like a small cover reveal?](https://localhost:4000/blog/small-cover-reveal-ouas/) _2026-04-22 · RSS feed title_ I felt extremely excited when I saw the cover for Once Upon A Sky . So I thought I’d do a small cover reveal before the full cover reveal in August. Are you ready? That cover has been made by French illustrator Florian Garbay . He’s made incredible covers throughout the years and I’ve worked with him through Reedsy. I literally cannot wait for you to see the full cover this coming August. If you… ## [March updates // 2026](https://localhost:4000/blog/2026-03-updates/) _2026-03-27 · RSS feed title_ March was a rollercoaster of emotions. On one hand my author life was crazy exciting, with lots of positive news. On the other hand, some personal stuff took its toll on me. In between all of it, I still ran a 10km race in 1h37, which is not nothing. The road wasn’t flat at all, haha. The Londoners updates Read-along The Londoners celebrated its 5th anniversary on March 23rd. I’ve… ## [February updates // 2026](https://localhost:4000/blog/2026-02-updates/) _2026-02-25 · RSS feed title_ February is the smallest month of the year, but there were two weeks off from school for the little one, and a few painful days for the husband, so… Yeah, not an easy month in terms of general organisation. However, as I’m listing everything I accomplished this month, I’m kinda amazed that I could still cram a few things in there that I can be proud of. Office update I told you last month that my… ## [January updates // 2026](https://localhost:4000/blog/2026-01-updates/) _2026-01-26 · RSS feed title_ I thought I’d be going strong in January. My todo list was packed with ambitious stuff like fixing all the plot holes from my middle-grade novel and creating a brief for my maybe future cover designer. Unfortunately I believe Fate wouldn’t have it. January was a busy month, but not in the author activities area. We started with all the new year celebrations with friends and family (Happy New Year… ## [Ten Years Later as a Digital Nomad in Thailand...](https://www.johnnyfd.com/2026/01/ten-years-later-as-digital-nomad-in.html) _2026-01-17 · Johnny FD · JohnnyFD.com - Follow the Journey of a Location Independent Entrepreneur_ Today I attended the 2026 Nomad Summit conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I came as a regular attendee, sitting in the back, mostly anonymous to those there. The people to my left and right had no idea I was the founder of this event, and one of the first digital nomads to populate this city and turn it into the digital nomad mecca it has become today. Back in 2013 when I first came to Chiang Mai… ## [Slowly getting back to business // Income report 2025](https://localhost:4000/blog/income-report-2025/) _2025-12-26 · RSS feed title_ Another year, another income report on my writing and self-publishing endeavours. You can read the previous one here: 2024 . 2025 started with me wanting to release a book. The owner of a bookshop even told me that, if I had a book published, I’d be welcome alongside him at a big literary event in October (which he couldn’t attend in the end, but neither did I release the book in the first place,… ## [Books I've read in 2025](https://localhost:4000/blog/books-2025/) _2025-12-25 · RSS feed title_ Solo Leveling by Chugong Résister by Salomé Saqué 🇫🇷 Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon Shamira et les milices fantômes by Sobral & Aurore 🇫🇷 Orgueil et Préjugés by Aurore & Jane Austen 🇫🇷 Keep going by Austin Kleon Les prêtresses d’Isis by Mariolle & Aurore 🇫🇷 Under the Oak Tree by Suji Kim Spare and Found parts by Sarah Maria Griffin Holly Molly by Antoine Piers 🇫🇷 What… ## [I Met My Biggest Online Hater in Real Life.](https://www.johnnyfd.com/2025/12/he-called-me-scammer-meeting-my-biggest.html) _2025-12-17 · Johnny FD · JohnnyFD.com - Follow the Journey of a Location Independent Entrepreneur_ Ten years ago, when working online, and traveling the world as a digital nomad was still a new concept, there was a doubt planted in people's minds if it was all a scam or not. I was the target of a lot of that discussion, as I was the founder of the Nomad Summit, which was the first ever conference for digital nomads, and the first one publicly talking about how great being a digital nomad in… ## [Install Manifest V3 Extension (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Suav4HkCEe7v) _2025-12-17 · **Sponsored**_ Get this Manifest V3 extension from the official TronBrowser Store listing. ## [Choosing the Perfect Place to Live.](https://www.johnnyfd.com/2025/12/choosing-perfect-place-to-live.html) _2025-12-13 · Johnny FD · JohnnyFD.com - Follow the Journey of a Location Independent Entrepreneur_ From 2008 - 2022 I traveled the world looking for the "best place to live."

My son is at school for the morning, so I can calmly settle in to think about what to update you on. Three months is a long time between updates, and I’ve got a sheet of paper next to me to help me remember everything. Let’s start with what I think is the most important: the writing. Progress bar Overall, it isn’t easy to just… ## [I bought running shoes](https://localhost:4000/blog/runningshoes/) _2025-11-17 · RSS feed title_ When I was way younger than I am now, I tried karate for a day and was in pain for a week. From all the sports I had tried at school, the only one I kinda liked was running. It wasn’t a team effort to run, it was my own. I didn’t depend on anyone to have a good run. From those days of high school, I remember my Dad taking me to the forest so we’d bond over a running session. But his pace was way… ## [Learnings from SelfPubCon 2025](https://localhost:4000/blog/selfpubcon2025/) _2025-10-26 · RSS feed title_ This journal entry is in progress as I go through the conferences at my own pace, so maybe come back later for more thoughts, haha ;) New Takes on Marketing Must Dos: Insights from ALLi’s Reach More Readers Guidebook Speaker: Orna Ross With my decade of work in marketing, I thought I’d know most of what Orna would talk about.

In this day and age, how do you simply stop? Is it a work in progress? Or do you just stop and never look back? Honestly, I thought I would talk about an addiction to social media, and maybe it is. But I’ve deleted my Facebook account in November 2023, I barely use Instagram for checking on my friends’ stories, I’m on LinkedIn… ## [Where the AI temptation lies](https://localhost:4000/blog/ai-temptation/) _2025-02-18 · RSS feed title_ Okay breathe I’m an author. I have a degree in Creative Writing from a UK university, I worked as a copywriter and a content manager. I published three books already—one of them being a translation of the previous book.

Writing that… ## [The financial cost of pivoting // Income report 2024](https://localhost:4000/blog/income-report-2024/) _2025-01-08 · RSS feed title_ Being an indie author is a lot of fun. It’s the fourth time I’m doing an income report for this side of my life — the first one on a blog. While preparing this post, I was impressed by how much I actually did for my side hustle in 2024. I wasn’t expecting it, because I kinda pushed the “pause” button on everything. You see, I got laid off from my marketing job in… ## [Books I've read in 2024](https://localhost:4000/blog/books-2024/) _2024-12-18 · RSS feed title_ On Web Typography by Jason Santa Maria City of Stolen Magic by Nazneen Ahmed Pathak Solving Product Design Exercises by Artiom Dashinsky King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo Fair Play by Eve Rodsky Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo Generating Product Ideas by Artiom Dashinsky Nettle & Bone by T.
