@Janette, do you write Flash fiction? -

@janette, yeah chuck one in. There’s probably a fairly small chance of actually being selected to pitch, so no harm in trying out.

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] -

@janette @athelstone – thank you! It’s a very short piece, but it was fun to write. Maybe I’m getting my writing mojo back after so much church based writing stuff…

It appears so, Squidge, if this is anything to go by. Didn’t realise it had gone 😉

Quick pop around to say C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to @kazg and @janette for their wonderful news this morning. I’ve been reading everything but if I took the time to respond to it all, I would still be awake at 2 am with a rise and shine time of 5 30. I will catch up on All . The . Things over the week, but it’s my first week back at work…[Read more]

that all SOUNDS overwhelming my lovely! Juggling all the balls…don’t you worry about a thing, we’ll all be here when you have time, and most of us vanish into Real Life at times. And thank you! xx

Our very own Jules (@jillybean) did indeed wave her magic wand of WordPress magic to conjure up this fabulous confcetion, the Den of Writers. The full guilty few , who thought the place up, squabbled over names, who does what, founded and funded it are: Jules (@jillybean), Athelstone (@athelstone), Fiona (@bric), Daedalus (@daedalus), KazG…[Read more]

Thanks for the elucidation perhaps this should be in an introduction?
-
They’re a modest lot so perhaps just a eulogy to me, how I came up with the idea and built the site from scratch – that sort of thing 🙂
But more seriously, I expect we’ll find a place for the list if anybody wants to find it.

Thanks for that, Athers. In that case, well done to all concerned a wonderful job has been undertaken and it is much appreciated to be able to fan the spirit of ‘The Wordcloud’ into new (and hopefully) everlasting realms.

@janette, I had to do some serious door-wrestling too. Whilst thinking ‘how hard can you yank on a door handle before you snap it off?’
And @athelstone, glad to hear the foxes are feeling spring-like, despite all evidence to the contrary!
@johnalty, I do like to write flash fiction, however at the moment I’ve had to put my blinkers on and concentrate on my current WIP as an agent has asked for the full once I do some requested adjustments. Sorry it rules me out of current comps at least, but I’m hoping it will all be worth it.
Wow, good luck with that.
Actually I wasn’t drumming up business for the comp, it was a bit of silliness based on the claim by Flash, in the Peak District, to be the highest village in England.
Sorry, John, I should amend my previous statement to ‘one of the highest’, though at 1200ft above sea-level, we’re pretty damned high.
Gah! WoW @janette, that is fantastic news!!!! Well done! I’m keeping fingers crossed that she loves it….
