Everything Philippa said! Though re the faux pas, do you mean in terms of naming the agent specifically or not saying that it’s being read at all? Because I’ve always been told it’s good to let other agents know that you’re sending it to other people, that other people are reading the full etc. and this is what I did when more than one person was…[Read more]

Yes! Lift-off. We have lift-off.

Whoo-hoo, as they say.

Yes, of course, feel free. Can you DM on here? (I haven’t worked it out yet). Bout to go into clinic at work, but will be about to answer Qs this eve. Speak soon

Hi there,

Is it possible to have the option to add a small “about me” on our profiles? I’d love to know more about the people on here, but at the moment our profiles can only show our (user)name and a photo.

Knicks – thanks! Hug much appreciated. I know. I literally wouldn’t kill a fly. Even a tiny one.

Welcome, Pinkbelt.

This forum already seems to be so energised. It’s great.

Hi Pinks

CONGRAULATIONS on reaching this (very exciting) stage. Well, it seems you are already are ahead of the game in that you have taken the time to do your research (which sadly writers often don’t do). That has already increased your chances by, like, a million. 🙂

Thanks all. I hope the extra pressure on the Cloud isn’t breaking it. I notice that things like style sheets and image files aren’t loading straight away which does some odd things to the Cloud’s appearance. I wonder if SocialGo have stopped routine tasks that keep the system in good order.

You washed him? Oh lordy. You poor thing.

Doing a bit. Not so much as I should, but I’m on chapter 7 of Draft 1 of AsYetUntitledStory, so that’s something. In the middle of a weirdly non-sexy sexy scene, or a weirdly sexy non-sexy scene. Either way, it’s something new.

How’s about you?

Hopefully. He spends most of his time looking like Father Dougal got incarnated in the body of a kitten, like every single thing in the universe is blowing his tiny kitten mind, so perhaps he’ll get distracted and forget I washed his paws under the tap.

Been getting any writing done, there, Mad?

Cats have long memories, but they’re fickle. I’m sure you can buy back its affection somehow.

At the moment, I’m wondering how long it is cats can hold grudges for, because my kitten is cross with me.

Ah, lovely wine.
