Really good, Daeds – and IMO we could all go out and respond publicly to your and Kaz’s FB posts with words to recognise how good this story is. Fantastic.

Great story telling, Daeds, congratulations.

Excellent News. I loved that story!

Fantastic news. A great story. Very thoughtful and moving.

Some of you might remember my story The Living from last year’s Den winter challenge. I’m pleased to say it has finally (in slightly evolved form) found a publisher in the shape of Barren magazine issue #13, now available to read online https://barrenmagazine.com/the-living/

Another interesting blog, Richard, thank you.
Daedalus replied to the topic Very Serious Consequences: Harrow and Wealdstone, 1952 in the forum Blogs 6 years, 2 months ago

It certainly is. Mindboggling that such a catastrophe could have come about through a momentary lapse by a single person. Less mindboggling that the means of preventing such a catastrophe had long existed but not been implemented.

As Ath says, the parallels between this incident, along with many of the others you’ve written about over the y…[Read more]
Athelstone replied to the topic Very Serious Consequences: Harrow and Wealdstone, 1952 in the forum Blogs 6 years, 2 months ago

How astonishing that an event with so much loss of life has faded from memory. I mean, not literally, it’s still there in the records – and you’ve just blogged about it. That said, it’s coming up to 70 years, I suppose. Great blog as ever, Richard. I shake my head when you write about the prevarication and penny-pinching over AWS. Then I remember…[Read more]

Thank you Raine. Yes it turned out to be a pretty cunning ploy.

Well, I think the subject is obvious this month – Spring. Interpret it any way you want in under 400 words. I know you’ll all be brilliant. Good luck!
Debi Alper replied to the topic Recent agent experience in the forum Blogs 6 years, 2 months ago

Oh Hilary! I was alerted to this thread by Ath. I can see you’re taking this well but I know how much it must hurt. I’m going to try to take a step back and see where the agent might have been coming from. Don’t shout at me!

Agents love books, of course, and get very excited when they are part of the process that leads to publication. For some,…[Read more]
John S Alty replied to the topic Monthly competition – February 2020 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 2 months ago

Wow, thanks Libby! Well done to the other participants. I’ll think up some devilishly difficult competition for March and post later tomorrow.
Kate replied to the topic Recent agent experience in the forum Blogs 6 years, 2 months ago

How incredibly insensitive of her, Hilary. Of course you were excited and expecting something after being asked to meet her. What on earth was the agent thinking? But, as others have said, there mat be a positive side. Perhaps give yourself time to get some distance then decide if her suggested revision are for you or not.

And Janette – another…[Read more]
