Can’t believe the cloud simply doesn’t exist any more… Calling myself a Dennie doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. So what DO we call ourselves here? Suggestions welcome…

@theweyman – good you found us. Look forward to reading more of your stuff…

Thanks Squidge! Will take some getting used to again this place, but I hope it’ll feel homely soon! 😊

Hugging the group in a very manly, yet tender, way.

Same here. I’ve found it erratic for a couple of weeks now but today nothing at all – blank screen. I think everyone 3lse I’ve spoken to has had the same problem.

@debi – hello lovely editrix! Sorry I shan’t see you at York this year, but I’ll be thinking of you all from afar xx
-
We’ll be raising a glass or three to absent friends. xx
-
Can I please join the absent friends group? Will be thinking of you.
-
Will be strange I imagine, not to have cloudie badges on display…
-
Everyone here has automatic membership. Mind you, if we have a separate drink for each of you … Hmmm.

I’ve read and heard elsewhere (agent podcasts or something). I think it’s because they all sort of know each other and are friends, and it just makes it a bit awkward for them. They don’t want to feel they are in competition with each other.

Ooh I’m up on the podium with Daed 🙂
It feels like a long time since we wrote the book now and it’s great that it’s on it’s way for public consumption now.
And thanks, Raine. All signal boosting much appreciated.

I didn’t know that mentioning other agents by name was a no-no. How did you find out? Did they tell you?

Mad Iguana posted an update 7 years, 10 months ago
Hello. It seems I can only access the Activity wall in here when I’m in work, so I’ll say hi to ye all here. Great to see so many new folks joining (Hi everyone!).
Hopefully I’ll figure out a way to access other parts of the site in work, otherwise I’ll have to talk to you in the middle of the night when I should be writing, but I can probably…[Read more]-
Hi Mad 🙂

Hi Daeds. Is A Black Matter for the King not out yet? I think I got it delivered to my Kindle a couple of days ago…
-
Ah, therein lies a tale…as far as the marketing is concerned, we launch on the 7th 😉

Excellent. I won’t start reading it til then.

Peeking is fine

MAAAAD! Hi!

Hi Mad 🙂

(Are we seeming too needy, guys? We don’t want to scare him away.)

Hi JB. Not at all, WB. I’ve got a compulsive need to be loved, so this is all good.
-
-
-
Howdy WB. You keeping well??
-
I am currently manifesting as a small, whimsical beach rock. Going well, so far.
-
Whimsical, eh? Ah, that’s so you.
-
And yourself?
-
-
I’m alright thanks. Finding my feet in the new study, getting writing. If I’m manifesting, I think I’m a small tired grapefruit.

-
It also seems that I can only see a limited no. of replies to these updates. Interesting.
-
It seems to depend on how you approach it. If you go from the notification, not all replies appear. Go through your own profile, on ‘Activity’, and it should all show up
-
Couldn’t reply there though (I think that’s work related though). But now I can see everything in the main Activity place. Happy days!
-
We’re still at the wandering around the new building/complex, opening doors and being confused we are not back at the main lobby stage, aren’t we?
-
Indeed. I look forward to finding the door that leads to John Malkovich’s brain.

*waves at Mad while conjuring a tiny tired grapefruit room in my brains that he may rest his tiny tired grapefruit self* Don’t know about Malkovich but hoping my brains will do 😀

Philippa East started the topic Example Cover Letter in the forum Blogs 7 years, 10 months ago
As requested, here is a copy of the cover letter I used on submission. It wasn’t actually the version I sent my now-agent Sarah Manning back in 2016, because I didn’t even know to write a proper cover letter the first time I went to FoW, but this is the one I was using when I formally submitted to agents in 2017.
This one was for my one-to-one…[Read more]

Wow, what a climb, Raine. Did it give you courage, though, having that first agent interested? Having 50% full requests is amazing! (what is the “other stuff”?)
So is it your third book that’s out on submission at the mo?
wenbikes. Yeah. I have those.

Yes, it is very sad, but we can’t say we weren’t warned. How about DENizens?
Denizens
Although I also like Den-dwellers
Denizens 🙂
Denizens!
I like Denizens. Den Dwellers is rather good too 🙂
And yes that sudden complete failure was a bit of a shock!
Denofians is my suggestion, but TBH I prefer denizen.
Q: What do we call ourselves here?
A: Anything as long as it’s polite
Denizens. Although, I might be more of a denlet than an izen. 😉
I was thinking denizens too.
Not ‘Dense’ then?
Denizens – I like. And @sandradavies – just look at the folks already here. Definitely not dense in any way, shape or form! 😉
Dentists? Maybe not …
Sorry Squidge – I’m editing :-(, but a quick look at the OED suggests ‘dendrite’ -‘crystalline growth , or ‘denatant’ – the migration of fish. I rather like denominator …
Denizens perfect 😀
