I daren’t book anything until I’m given a clean bill of health, which may be too late for this one. Hope you both get the recognition you deserve there x

Raine posted an update 6 years, 10 months ago
Was supposed to have a webchat 1-1 with an agent today and my camera didn’t work (new updates I think) so I missed the whole bloody session and am SO frustrated as I was waiting for this to help me decide the way forward with the wip. Gah. Excuse me while I rant/sob.
-
Oh, that’s awful. Have you managed to contact the agent to explain?
-
Yes, and the people who were organising the meeting have also talked to her. She’s going to send me some feedback apparently, but that might take a while and urgh it’s just so frustrating. Plus me messing them around hardly leaves a good impression, does it?
-
Oh Raine. I would be tearing my hair out and breaking things. What a b****r. I bet you were all psyched up for it as well…
-
I don’t know. I wouldn’t hold it against somebody in your position and I’m sure the agent won’t either. I imagine that doesn’t help much though.
-

-
Oh no! Blasted technology. Great when it works but a pain in the proverbial when it doesn’t! Hope the agent is sympathetic and you get something worthwhile in the feedback. Sending a hug x
-
Having had a couple of technological cock-ups myself today, you have my sympathy, Raine. Hope a replacement session can be organised.
-
Oh, ffs, what a time for technology to have a hissy fit! That’s awful, Raine, and I feel your frustration … but hopefully (surely) the agent will too. Here’s to the feedback being of the positive kind x
-
Ug! So so frustrating. 🙁

Thanks @gippsgirl, some of these look like good possibilities. 🙂 Good luck if you are subbing to any of them.

Anyone thinking of going to this? I’ve booked and would be lovely to see a familiar face or two.
It’s marginally more accessible for the more northerly amongst us, which is fab. -

Anyone from York dropping in to the Den over this weekend? How did Friday Night Live go? How’s Janette’s wheels? And have you all spent a fortune at the bar yet?
Say hi to all the Denizens and cloudies from me.

Good fun. John’s was easily the best but he didn’t win 🙁 Drank my way through a week’s pocket money on Friday. Bit green on Saturday morning. Enjoyable so far. Series of new 2 hour workshops called ‘labs’ this year. Went to Jail Duncan’s “World Building” and he still overran by 25 minutes. He used the f-adjective so many times that after the…[Read more]

A blog will be nice. I’ve missed catching up.
-
Looking forward to the blog. Missed the real thing. (Would never like to go to another of H Duncan’s workshops, if that’s who you mean, though I know some think they’re great.)
Specially sorry to miss John’s reading, which I can quite believe was the best, and seeing ‘Cloudies’/Denizens. Maybe next year. There’s been lots of ‘family stuff’ this…[Read more]

Oh, what a shame for John. Hope he got some interest though from the agents? I don’t remember Hal Duncan using the f-bomb when I sat in his workshops a few years ago.
Fingers crossed that next year, I might be able to go again; currently in the throes of getting T ready for uni a week on Monday (a week earlier than we thought, thanks to Freshers…[Read more] -
A blog will be very interesting. Thanks, Ath.

Blog, please, Ath.

Yes, HAL not Jail – never was great at typing onto a phone. Blog when my mind’s all connected back up and the M1 is out of my bloodstream.
-
Hal is the weegie, right? He cracks me up slightly & yeah, I remember some pretty fluent swearing going on.
Hurray for @johnt3 doing so well. I’m not surprised his reading was fantastic. 🙂-
The scooter went very well, thanks, @squidge. I couldn’t have done York without it (and the help of our friend group, who were awesome). Debi created a messenger group to help us communicate (and so that I could call out for help when needed), which was a brilliant idea and worked so well, I think it should be repeated, injuries or not, next year.…[Read more]
