Thanks for that @clebs, great to see your enthusiasm. Some good thoughts there. Iβm bogged down in various commissions with time running out fast at the moment, but will gather this all together asap

Hi All
As many of you know Iβm a nervous (and a very basic) writer. Having read many of your stories I appreciate the talent of you all!
Anyway I logged on for the first time in ages to dip my toe into the monthly comp. Thanks to Barny Iβve managed to find this thread – Iβm not that good at navigating websites. I wonder if anyone else is havin…[Read more]

You have to be a member to access though.
Oh, I didn’t think it was for younger people. Read it as adult for sure. Hope it finds its form in the end, and that your other projects are going okay meantime. X

In support of the monthly/bimonthly comp – one of mine from ?November? has just been accepted for (paid) publication. π

Another hugely entertaining tale of the rails, and very informative too. Thanks Richard.

Though the story of every fatal accident is a tragedy for somebody, few are quite so sad as the tale of what is known as the Thirsk railway accident, although it actually happened about three miles north of there. I have perforce had to include some (simplified) signalling technicalities, but you’d need a heart of stone not to be moved by this…[Read more]

I sense there is very little interest in the monthly, (or two monthly or three monthly competition), so perhaps we should just bag the whole thing. Put Jonathan out of his misery. It’s becoming embarrassing.

Is that video on JW, @philippaeast? I just can’t spot it.

Wow. Thanks @philippaeast. So glad you liked it. I found that slush pile rather depressing, especially when they asked what age group I was writing for. Iβm struggling with it still, so itβs on the back burner for a while while I do something else. I will come back to it but I need some distance first.

Hey @bellam, I just saw an extract of your book on the JW slushpile live video (with the Bent Agency). I thought it was great, and I’m so intrigued about your characters, especially Molly. Hope you’ve worked our your narrative device…. π

OK, I’ll go first:
Sunday morning
A late breakfast, tea and toast, the paper folded at the cryptic crossword. 22 down, Kathmandu hippie hospital, 9 letters. Michael scratched his head with the pen. Just an average Sunday.
The doorbell rang, startling him. Nobody called on Sunday. Nobody called on any other day for that matter, not since heβd p…[Read more] -
