So, you know how we did a slowmo group a while ago? Do we need a coronamo group to keep ourselves from sinking into anxious lethargy over the coming months? Same idea – tiny victories, tiny targets, tangential positives… Or is the MA course etc enough?

I like that idea, Raine. At present I’m still at work but if the libraries close then I’ll be at a loose end. And I definitely have books to write!
-
Liking the idea

I’m all for it. Currently on lockdown in France but finding it surprisingly difficult to concentrate on anything other than phoning friends. Would love a group to get me focussed on achieving a few things. Could we ban discussion of the virus though?
-
God yes please!!

Very glad you feel the same way. I need a bubble to escape into.

I won’t talk about anything that you lovely people won’t mention. But if I find one of my delightful companions who needs to talk about what’s afoot, then I’ll stick with then and slope off
-
Ath, just to be clear, I am not trying to stop anyone talking about it at all. God knows I seem to have spent the last two weeks discussing, panicking and worrying about it. I would just love to have a tiny bit of something somewhere which was free of it. Like a coronamo group. But only if everybody else feels the same. It won’t stop me wanting t…[Read more]

Blimey – and I think my son’s nuts for setting his sights on a bass that’s selling for £5K!
Mind you, he’s got one custom built bass, courtesy of Mr Squidge, and apparently he plans to build another custom ‘normal’ guitar this summer, so who knows what they’ll be worth in years to come…?

Coming to this late…but hugs to both Hil and Janette… Agents can be beetles at times, can’t they? Fill us full of hope and then dash us down. We are stronger than they think though – we get back up and live to fight another day, and keep writing, whatever they say.
Hil, your writing is gorgeous, and you have deservedly got agent interest.…[Read more] -

Hullo Denizens! Apologies I’ve not been visible recently; have had a few issues with logging in, and I’ve been working on Tildas 3 & 4. And I’ve been on retreat…
Remember Conker and Moira from the Cloud? They run writing retreats and I booked myself onto their Spring one last week, and have written three blogs about the experience. The first is…[Read more]
