Janette posted an update 3 years, 7 months ago
Sorry I haven’t been around for so long (and probably missed loads). It has continued to be a busy time for me. More than that, after finding fatal flaws in my current book, I decided on a complete rewrite. I also decided to give York another try, mainly to see what is happening out there in the publishing world, and what they might now be looking…[Read more]

Good luck at York, Janette. I hope it provides all the information you need.
-
Hope York goes well – I didn’t pick up on it this year as was already booked for a weekend away in September…which I can’t go to now because of visitors from India! Next year…
-
Thanks, both. I’m hoping it’s going to be a good investment as well as enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing some old friends and hopefully get the ‘York’ feeling. I’ll report back.

Hello. Long time no see, everyone. I’m posting this to say I do occasionally pop in to see what’s going on, but haven’t actually logged in for a Very Long Time. So, apologies. And also, thanks to you faithful few, and especially Ath and any other admin (?) for keeping it going. Yes, other things going on for me too, but the other day I was feeling…[Read more]

Hi Hilary, lovely to see you here! Hope all’s going well with the book. x

Oh, that’s fab, Hilary ! Please post an update when the book comes out. Looking forward to reading it 🙂

July’s monthly comp winner is up – #1 from a superb selection of entries – thank you!

Sandra replied to the topic Monthly competition July 2022 in the forum Monthly Competition 3 years, 8 months ago
Only three entries depicting Andrew’s possible future, but each of a quality and breadth of imagination that makes the judging, the choosing of a “winner” extremely difficult.
Knicks opening sentence an instant hook, her choice of verbs ¬– “breathing hitched”, corner of mouth “kicked up” – is inspirational, and Andrew initially appears to have co…[Read more] -

Yeah, I think recruiting people to a Discord group is much easier than to a website, tbh. I spend more time in my discord group than I do any online group, mainly because it’s an app & I can do it easily when I’m away from my laptop. Partly because it facilitates chat in a way websites, however well constructed, just don’t. And where I am now, I’m…[Read more]

Hello Denizens… Apologies for not having dropped in for quite a while. Been a bit all over the place with various life stuff, but still writing. Good to see news popping up on facebook for various peeps, and as we go into the autumn I’ll try to pop in here more often to keep in touch. x

Wanted to let anyone know who remembers my Bathymetry story from one of the winter challenges … it’s been shortlisted for a British Fantasy Award! Very surprised by that, but proves how far our wee stories born in here can roam!

Congratulations, Raine. I remember the story well.
-
Excellent news, Raine. Good luck with the final.

Thank you both 🙂

Just wanted to extend my appreciation to Ath and Jules for starting & maintaining/updating/supporting this place. I’m afraid I have very much drifted off, largely just because of the other demands on my writing time. It’s nice to know this place is here & I look forward to the annual challenges, but I honestly don’t spend enough time here to be…[Read more]

Sandra replied to the topic I've seen fiction written in present tense described as potentially static in the forum Blogs 3 years, 9 months ago
Just realised, quite a few of my Challenge stories are written in first person present. I think to give myself an extra treat!!Would definitely deny they are static!

Brief, and not necessarily well-thought out reply, (nor am I 100% I’ve got the terminology right), but Elly Griffith’s ‘Ruth Galloway ‘ series is told in present tense, with sentences/Pov as “Ruth watches as C and C get into the Rolls” (second person??) Every time I start a new one I think “Oh no, forgot how much I dislike this” then very…[Read more]

“What’s new” is Knicks truly inspirational entry for this month’s competition. Read it for yourself, look at the image of Andrew as a young lad, and make a later version of him for yourself. You’ve more than ten days to do it.
