Thanks for that @clebs, great to see your enthusiasm. Some good thoughts there. I’m bogged down in various commissions with time running out fast at the moment, but will gather this all together asap

Hi All
As many of you know I’m a nervous (and a very basic) writer. Having read many of your stories I appreciate the talent of you all!
Anyway I logged on for the first time in ages to dip my toe into the monthly comp. Thanks to Barny I’ve managed to find this thread – I’m not that good at navigating websites. I wonder if anyone else is havin…[Read more]

You have to be a member to access though.
Oh, I didn’t think it was for younger people. Read it as adult for sure. Hope it finds its form in the end, and that your other projects are going okay meantime. X

In support of the monthly/bimonthly comp – one of mine from ?November? has just been accepted for (paid) publication. 🙂

Another hugely entertaining tale of the rails, and very informative too. Thanks Richard.

Though the story of every fatal accident is a tragedy for somebody, few are quite so sad as the tale of what is known as the Thirsk railway accident, although it actually happened about three miles north of there. I have perforce had to include some (simplified) signalling technicalities, but you’d need a heart of stone not to be moved by this…[Read more]

I sense there is very little interest in the monthly, (or two monthly or three monthly competition), so perhaps we should just bag the whole thing. Put Jonathan out of his misery. It’s becoming embarrassing.

Is that video on JW, @philippaeast? I just can’t spot it.

Bella replied to the topic Help/brainstorming needed please – using antagonist narrator in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years ago
Wow. Thanks @philippaeast. So glad you liked it. I found that slush pile rather depressing, especially when they asked what age group I was writing for. I’m struggling with it still, so it’s on the back burner for a while while I do something else. I will come back to it but I need some distance first.

Hey @bellam, I just saw an extract of your book on the JW slushpile live video (with the Bent Agency). I thought it was great, and I’m so intrigued about your characters, especially Molly. Hope you’ve worked our your narrative device…. 🙂

Hello everyone, I’m back (with thanks to Sandra and Raine at Fiona’s fab launch tonight)! So much for my good intentions last year – work took over again – but I’ve now changed things round and I’m determined to focus on creativity in 2019.
First quarter has been spent indie publishing my third nonfiction book on finance for school leaders…[Read more] -

I’m happy to provide prompts. @Squidge has offered as well, so we could start with hers and I’ll do the next round?
Perhaps the next prompter could put their name forward during current prompt month IYSWIM.
