But now, three log-ins later, it works normally.

Hi John
I’m assuming that you get the login screen with user name, password and the login button, but that if you click the button it just goes on showing you that screen. I wondered whether a broken page was lodged in your browser cache which is stopping the ‘logged in’ screen appearing even though you have successfully logged in. I’m not saying…[Read more] -

Ugh, toothache is awful @alanr. Hope it eases. I know that guilty feeling for not writing, but sometimes its good to step away for a while too. Or at least that’s what I tell myself when school hols make time to write a rare commodity!

Naomi ALderman is great @squidge! Not always a comfortable read, but (haha) very powerful. I loved The Power, and I’ve also just read her newest – The LIars Gospel, which you might enjoy. I think. Some might not like the angle it takes, but I thought it was beautiful in its own way.

Hi, all. Just popping in to see how everyone is and hope I am welcome.
I had already left the word cloud writing community before social go pulled the plug.
Some of you know me already. I write for fun and mainly for myself. have no illusions about my abilities.-
Hi Mezz, lovely to see you here. It’s a slightly different format to the Cloud, but with the same basic areas – Critique forum, blogs, groups, and this main wall. Hope you can find your way around. 🙂
-
Hi Mezz, yes, the name sounds familiar. Welcome and hope you manage to fathom the new format out. Just shout if not 😀
-
Hiya Mezz! Good to have you with us.

Hi Mezz! 🙂

Welcome!

Just wondering how many here were in the Sept (I think) 2014 Self edit course? @swoop @tenacityflux … Jody Klaire, who I don’t think has found us yet? Anyone else?
-
I went twice to FoW, & was in a self edit course straight after one of them, with you & Tenacity. I’m going to have to work this out by cricket seasons I think, hold on….
-
Jody was definitely on it, but I’m caught on whether it was 2013 or 2014
-
I changed clubs at the end of the 2012 season. I missed my last match for my old club when they were relegated to be at my first FoW, then I missed the last match for my new club when they just escaped in 2013. I couldn’t take that any more & haven’t been since….til next year. Pretty certain my self edit was 2013
-
2013? Blimey, didn’t think it was quite so long ago. There was Sir something on it too… can’t remember his cloud tag.
-
Yeah, went to one FoW that I went to certainly. Had a beard but his name escapes me, although I’m pretty sure he lived a couple of valleys across from Skylark…..so that should be relatively easy to work out. He says…..
-
@skylark. Ooh, there we go, technology!
There was a lady who wrote a novel that was a love story that involved spitfires? Think she was published shortly afterwards? -
@louisewalters – was it you in our group?!
-
It was Hurricanes, but I’ll let you off, Neil 😉

-
I did it before Mrs Sinclair came out, but after I got my agent, so I think it was in 2013 I did mine. But I think Neil was on my course – Hi Neil!- so I may be getting muddled!
-
Yes it was @louisewalters in 2013, sorry I couldn’t remember, time flies. Sirtanic is who we’re thinking of, Mills?
-
Wouldn’t @debi know this anyway? Or were all records cloud based?
-
Yes, I wondered if records can tell us which intake we were all in?
-
There are no records of anything that was on the Cloud at all. Everything went pfft. 🙁 I could tell people who was in their group but it would take me some time. I’ve just done it for one recent group. One person contacted me and said they wanted to get in touch with their group so I went back to the emails I sent out with the course pack at…[Read more]
-
Oh blimey, no, too much work Debi. I reckon we can work it out if we stop and think, and search our own docs for clues!
-
Sirtanic – of course! I think Neil’s right, it was 2013 for us all, cos I was working on Rurik (who is now Tilda) and think I’d published Granny Rainbow in that year so I had the confidence to revisit the novel.
Much good it did me – as I edited it again for the milioonty-umpteeth time last year. Thank goodness it’s got a contract with it now…

Haha! He’s the one! I could picture him…but not remember his name!
I looked up the author – her novel sounds brill, must look it up. I like the idea of women ruling the world 😉

Great blog, Skylark, and it’s so good to have seen your journey through the cloud and onto that stage (though I wasn’t there this year, you know what I mean). Long may it all continue! 🙂 Laughed at the train incident though. I did something similar when I was about 18 or so and had a few shandies. Difference was this was an older train where the…[Read more]

I’ve been working hard on our kitchen remodel – now finished, as far as these things are ever finished – and can get back to doing a bit more writing.
I wonder where this will appear when I post it? Finding my way around.-
I know what you mean about being finished! Fwiw this appeared on my ‘Activity’ feed
-
Oh, don’t get me started on kitchen refurbs. We’ll be going to court in October over ours…

Oh my word @squidge! That sounds horrendous! What did they do?

Thanks all!
Stella, I’ve not heard of Naomi Alderman at all – I’ll have to look her/her books up.
It’s sods law that what I’ve written makes you think of someone else’s work – originally the Power was rings, and I got slated by an agent over it being too LOTR, when the story itself is nothing like.
Ah well, they do say there are only so many…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this, Skylark. I, too, was very sorry to miss your speech, but glad to hear about it and glad it all went well. You continue to be an inspiration to others of us who are taking a LONG time!
