I daren’t book anything until I’m given a clean bill of health, which may be too late for this one. Hope you both get the recognition you deserve there x

Raine posted an update 6 years, 10 months ago
Was supposed to have a webchat 1-1 with an agent today and my camera didn’t work (new updates I think) so I missed the whole bloody session and am SO frustrated as I was waiting for this to help me decide the way forward with the wip. Gah. Excuse me while I rant/sob.
-
Oh, that’s awful. Have you managed to contact the agent to explain?
-
Yes, and the people who were organising the meeting have also talked to her. She’s going to send me some feedback apparently, but that might take a while and urgh it’s just so frustrating. Plus me messing them around hardly leaves a good impression, does it?
-
Oh Raine. I would be tearing my hair out and breaking things. What a b****r. I bet you were all psyched up for it as well…
-
I don’t know. I wouldn’t hold it against somebody in your position and I’m sure the agent won’t either. I imagine that doesn’t help much though.

-
Oh no! Blasted technology. Great when it works but a pain in the proverbial when it doesn’t! Hope the agent is sympathetic and you get something worthwhile in the feedback. Sending a hug x
-
Having had a couple of technological cock-ups myself today, you have my sympathy, Raine. Hope a replacement session can be organised.
-
Oh, ffs, what a time for technology to have a hissy fit! That’s awful, Raine, and I feel your frustration … but hopefully (surely) the agent will too. Here’s to the feedback being of the positive kind x
-
Ug! So so frustrating. 🙁

Thanks @gippsgirl, some of these look like good possibilities. 🙂 Good luck if you are subbing to any of them.

Anyone thinking of going to this? I’ve booked and would be lovely to see a familiar face or two.
It’s marginally more accessible for the more northerly amongst us, which is fab. -

Phew – and thanks. The Orkney Distillery is gin, not whisky, and given the amount of free gin, good value as well as entertaining.

@sandradavies yes, that one works better ta! Enjoy the whisky! -
Sandra replied to the topic DIY soapbox in the forum Podium 6 years, 10 months ago
Damn! Sorry @Raine (AND I posted that before the distillery tour!)
Hopefully my name &/or ‘Step do grave’ ought to find me – links I see might not be different.

The link isn’t working for me, @sandradavies ??

I’ve a couple of reviews on Blurb already, but would be pleased for a few more – honest ones, of course, (I’m not wanting to bit it up for sales) just whether you enjoyed (or didn’t) and why. Or Goodreads.
‘Longest shadows reach’ and ‘Commission and omission’ will be added within a couple of weeks – unless I get them out there I’ll fiddle with…[Read more]
