Welcome Graeme and Louise!

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]

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]

Hi Graeme. And hi everyone else I’ve not said hi to yet. There’s a lot of you, and I’ve only just figured out how to get into the forums while I’m in work.

Good thinking, Mad. Thanks 🙂

Oh I’ll try to tweet all my writing tweets with #DenOfWriters for the next wee while (i.e., for as long as I remember to do it).
And I’ve created the twitter account @denofwriters too, so we can tag that in if we want to. Anyone who wants to follow it, fire ahead. I might pass that on to someone else who has the time to administer it, but for now,…[Read more]

Good luck PB. You’ve done the hard part (getting yourself Out There), now comes the harder part (waiting).
On that Juliet/Jessie B cover letter, I felt very conflicted reading it, because while the letter was great and it obviously worked for her/them, there was definitely a level of familiarity and bravado (not sure if that’s the right term, but…[Read more]

Oooh I love a good hashtag!! #Denofwriters 🙂

Let’s go denofwriters, then.

If anyone wants to share my post, it’s out there to be shared. Please add the hashtag. I am off for a dog walk on the beach.

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

Have shared the FB post to my twitter, but with zero hashtags, because. If a hashtag is decided upon, I’ll try remember how to get on twitter properly and add the hashtag.

I’ve put a post on FB.

I am not great with twitter, but is there a reason we can go with the hashtag denofwriters? Is it already out there it the twitterverse?

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?

This is great, Gipps. I love Jane Friedman’s blogs – I’ve found so many helpful resorces on her site over the last couple of years. Rhanks for posting 🙂

I hesitated about posting a general update about the Den too. But I think you’re all right – I’m sure I’m in contact with some Cloudies on twitter, FB and email so I’ll set up a smoke signal and see who responds. Maybe everyone else could do the same?
You could definitely hold the challenge here, Ath, assuming you’re happy to. I think you’d get a…[Read more]

Looks suspiciously like a move of our rooms here might be necessary… I wish now I’d been quicker to post a general comment about this place on the Cloud wall so’s more people had found us here. But like Kate says, if we can all check our Facebook/emails we might be able to trawl a fair few untethered CLoudies.

I guess, if this is it for the…[Read more]
