On a side note, the phrase to heckle someone comes from Dundonian flax workers, or hecklers as they were also known, who were well renowned for their rowdy and belligerent behaviour.

The former Heckling Shop on Glasgow Vennel in Irvine. Dating from the mid-18th century, this was where flax was dressed, making it ready for spinning, a process known as heckling. It was while working here in 1781 that Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet, decided his future lay not in the flax industry, but as a writer.

As I am getting a little further on my #novel, would anyone be interested in being a #beta #reader for me?
This position is unpaid, but you would have the benefit of getting my #book before anyone else and you can practice your #heckling skills on me.
As a primer the novel is #SciFi #fantasy with multiple dimensions, demons, Faeries, and other beings. Some of the characters are also #trans and #NonBinary as I want it to be #inclusive and fun for everyone.
