I found @denofwriters on twitter, followed, but now can’t find it any more. Umm?

Congrats! Talent will out, it seems. Sorry I won’t be there to cheer you on.

Spooky? Yes, on my occasional visits I used to feel like Miss Havisham in Great Expectations.

Ah no, he was the very last to join!

Hi Richard

I did go back and look a while ago and realised there was no longer anyone there (that sounds spooky!).

I wrote a very dark thriller after the one I featured on the SE course but have gone the other way with my current MS. Good luck with returning to your rather lovely first love.

Aaah! Hi Jackie, nice to (virtually) see you again. The group died some while back, after carrying on for a year or two with just the three of us: me, Peter and Lins. I haven’t heard from either in yonks.

I’ve written another novel since, a rather dark crime thriller, but maybe it’s time to return to my first love (as it were).

I’ve messaged Neil Evans on FB, since he wasn’t on your list, Ath.

Good luck with the submissions. This is a great thread.

RichardB – you were in my self-edit group and I remember your fab story. Good luck with dusting it down, giving it a polish and, hopefully, getting it back out there again. I do hope you do well. Certainly, you write well.

I took two years off writing after more than a few setbacks. It was…[Read more]

Hi Graeme. Hi Louise. Glad you could join us 🙂

Yes a space for a mini CV would be nice.

Also, my browser tab for Den Of Writers has a blank icon – it’s called a favicon there are instructions for how to set it here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4888377/how-to-add-a-browser-tab-icon-favicon-for-a-website – simplest method is to get the icon perhaps as a PNG file, rename the file to…[Read more]

Hello All! Jules sent me an invite via Twitter, and I rushed over to join! I actually hadn’t been on the Cloud much in recent times, and now I think it’s gone forever? Anyway, nice to see some familiar names on here. I’m busy prepping for York this weekend, so hope to see some of you there. Lou xx

The competition group was open, so I don’t think there’s a problem posting the names of those who had already signed up here. Several are already here, but it would be great to see whether we could get the rest. I worry about one or two who may not be quite so internet-savvy and I tend to take Barny’s point – it would be a great shame not to…[Read more]

Good thinking, Mad. Thanks 🙂

Oooh I love a good hashtag!! #Denofwriters 🙂

There are quite a few people with WritersDen handles. Nothing with Den of Writers and no hashtag for it. Yet!

Thought provoking and intriguing as usual Elle. I very much enjoyed, but I’m with Philippa that, for me, there were perhaps too many vignettes. I thought at one point that you were moving us forward through time up until the telephone conversation, and then reversing us after that, because some of the names repeated, but then I realised it was…[Read more]

That’s a good idea, Debi. Any suggestions? #writingden ? #denofwriterforum ?

Should we have a hashtag so we can all find and share tweets and guide people here?
