Wow, thank you, everybody, for your kind, supportive words. I only relayed my experiences to show @Hilary that she was not alone, but your responses have touched me deeply.
@Debi – thank you for your support. Of course, you know all about my MS, and you really are the best.
@Hilary – re the suggested beta read, I’m happy to put my name forward…[Read more]

Hi @alanr. My hair IS kind of chestnut, but I wouldn’t call it vivid! So don’t think that was me…. Hope we will cross paths another time.
Yes @daedalus – I suspect there is a US / UK split. The writer I knew who kept putting “c”s on things was from the States.
I think I recall @Debi weighing in on the discussion previously to say no “c”…[Read more]

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…

@debi, you can get here via Writers Forum/Den of Writers/Podium. There are many winding roads in the Den and I’m still working them out myself! I’m also eagerly awaiting such a link (OMG CAN YOU IMAGINE??) and you will definitely know about it the minute (if/when) it happens…
@skylark I’m already leaning on my agent with questions and it’s SO…[Read more]

Thank you, lovely people! Are you all trying to make me cry?!
@athelstone wish you’d been there too but we’ll certainly catch up another time and you’re not half bad at the encouragement yourself
@janette I laughed about the train once I was safely home! And thank you for not setting me off from the front row!
@johnt3 same fears as me but it was…[Read more] -

Thanks @debi! I am indebted to you and Emma for getting me this stage 🙂 I’m so excited…I’m watching emails between my agent and the Penguin Random House editor fly, saying such nice things, and I’m having to pinch myself 🙂
@bric – thank you love! You played a big part with your beta magnificence, too 🙂
And thank you everyone, for all…[Read more]

You’re all brilliant. Thank you so much for your really heartwarming comments. I keep reading them with (another) stupid grin on my face.
And I have been VERY remiss in not singling out two members of the previous Cloud for special thanks – @debi and Emma Darwin, who run the phenomenally excellent Self Editing your Novel course – which first…[Read more]

@debi Wonderful to see you here, Debi! I imagine you are stretched with all your writerly commitments, but your presence here, when time permits, will be most appreciated. x
