Oh Gosh, you’re 100% right. I remember now. Also, no biting, gouging or spoon scooping action. That last one almost got through if I recall, but was thrown out on a recount after somebody was shown to have voted for it 17 times. Can’t remember who that was now.

No idea.-

My experience of Twitter is that the impression one gets of its nature, for example whether there is a particular faction behaving in a particular way, is very much dependent on where you go and who you follow but also what you regard as appropriate or excessive. Personally, I have never noticed that I am not followed back; if anything I am the…[Read more]

It’s not. The chit chat thread is over in the Challenge Group “A Room with a View” but as all votes count – so does yours!

OK – this is really important. This is NEW, this is a TWIST and this is IMPORTANT.
The choices you have made, are making and are still free to change can have an impact on the way you write your story. However, one of the choices may have a surprising effect depending on whether I am GENEROUS or MEAN. And the surprise may not be expected. So –…[Read more]

Jules replied to the topic Den of Writers – Forum Feedback part 2 in the forum Admin and Technical 7 years, 11 months ago
I removed that sidebar because a glitch in the WP software meant that it was displaying posts from private groups publically, Richard. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue since 2013 and no one has yet found a workable repair to the code. Will have a proper look at it or at an alternative when I’ve got time next week. But that’s why it’s gone…[Read more]

Impact

It had begun with impact. Many in fact, although Jepson only counted three as notew…[Read more]

Bit late to this but yes, I’ve done (am doing!) a version of this. It works best when I’m trying to finish something. I’ve got a chart with a chain of squares and the idea is to make the chain as long as possible without breaking it. There’s no daily word count to reach. As long as I write a sentence, I can colour in a square. It’s worked…[Read more]
