Philippa East

Aaah! Hi Jackie, nice to (virtually) see you again. The group died some while back, after carrying on for a year or two with just the three of us: me, Peter and Lins. I haven’t heard from either in yonks.

I’ve written another novel since, a rather dark crime thriller, but maybe it’s time to return to my first love (as it were).

I’ve messaged Neil Evans on FB, since he wasn’t on your list, Ath.

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]

Hello All! Jules sent me an invite via Twitter, and I rushed over to join! I actually hadn’t been on the Cloud much in recent times, and now I think it’s gone forever? Anyway, nice to see some familiar names on here. I’m busy prepping for York this weekend, so hope to see some of you there. Lou xx

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?
