If anyone’s interested – States of Independence, at De Montfort Uni in Leicester on the 21st March. Free event: talks, stalls, publishers etc, and Benjamin Zephaniah is one of the speakers! Hoping to go and have a stall so I can sell some books…

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 5 months agoHi @Squidge. I didn’t always think her examples showed what I thought she was talking about but as I read the chapter while travelling yesterday was going to reread some of them to have a second look. The one about the burying something in the garden springs to mind.

Squidge replied to the topic Feedback on the Course in the forum
Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 5 months agoIs anyone else getting bogged down with some of the examples in Burroway? I read them and just can’t make the connection to what she’s trying to portray. Beginning to think that it’s me at fault – that I haven’t got the ability to understand the more subtle nuances of the techniques. And if I did understand them, would it make me write any…[Read more]

Can someone remind me how to read comments that have been listed but don’t appear, please? Ta very muchly.
-
Do you mean missing comments on an update? 1) Click on the name of the initial poster to open their profile. 2) Select Activity from below their avatar/picture. You should be able to find the missing posts – not necessarily in a sensible order, but possible to work out what went where.
-
Even if it’s me that was the poster, Ath? I’ve got the notifications, but when I click on them to read, the original post isn’t showing more than one comment…
-
Even if it’s you who is the original poster. In other words, instead of logging on to the site and selecting Activity, go to the troublesome thread, select the profile of whoever started it, select Activity from their (or your) profile when it opens. Then scroll through the results below. If this doesn’t work then I’m not sure what to recommend.

“are” the original poster. How did I formulate such a horrible sentence?

How’s this for a weird coincidence? You may remember my story, “Lost and Found and Lost again”, involving a yoyo competition, that won a monthly comp late last year? Well, I slightly edited it, renamed it “the Yoyo” and entered it in the Reflex Fiction winter contest. It didn’t make the list, but another story did – it’s called “The Yoyo”. By…[Read more]

It’s strange how the same themes or subjects can come up from disconnected sources, as if they are in the ether.

That used to be the way of it, doing all your own basic (and sometimes advanced) car maintenance. Sadly it was all mixed up with “manliness” which meant that if you didn’t know how to refit a complete gearbox you were somehow not quite fit for the gene pool. As I also lacked any interest in football, I was widely viewed as a bit of a no-hoper…[Read more]

Great blog, Richard. You captured both the disaster of the car journey and the pleasure of the holiday. Perfectly done.
With modern cars, it’s easy to take things for granted and forget that comparatively recently many things about cars were surprisingly simple, if not primitive. Heating is a classic case. Today many vehicles have in-car air…[Read more]

Hello Everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Well, this means that it is THIS YEAR that Little White Lies comes out…
Most of you already have these details, but below is a link (via Facebook) to the OFFICIAL LAUNCH!

I’d be delighted to see you there, if you fancy coming along.
Wishing you a…[Read more]

Exciting times. I can’t come but I hope you have a great event. Looking forward to reading it!
-
Same here I’m afraid, Philippa, but I hope you have a wonderful, memorable time x

This is brilliant news. Pretty unlikely I’ll be able to make it, much as I’d love to, although there is a small chance. Can’t wait to read it in any event
-
Thanks guys!
-
Very exciting! I’ll be there, and if anyone else is coming and likely to be in Lincoln early… I might be in a pub somewhere. Or I’ll be visiting the cathedral all by my little old self! Or with @elle maybe?
-
So very exciting @philippaeast! I would love to be there but won’t be, obviously 🙂 Have a fantastic time and enjoy every minute of this very significant first! xx
-
@hilary I should be in Lincoln early afternoon so definitely happy to have a drink and catch-up before the launch. I know someone else who will be in town early. Cannot wait for it!

In honour of the new year, the theme for this month’s competition is The Future. You can interpret that in any way you wish. Around 400 words but happy for it to be a lot less if you prefer.

Just got back from a lovely day out culminating in finally seeing Stars Wars nine to this. First time I have ever won anything! Thank you Janette for the competition and thank you everybody for the comments. I love the way these competitions inspire so many different takes on the same prompt and I am feeling very honoured that Janette chose mine.…[Read more]

They really were all lovely stories. It’s been a while for me (again) and it’s great to see the monthly competition still chugging along, though perhaps with fewer entries. It was great to be pulled out of here and to be transported to four uniquely different places. Great job everyone!
