Squidge

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. I’m struggling with it still, so it’s 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…. 🙂

Fab Elle. These are great.

Thanks, Sandra.

Congratulations @elle! You seem to be on a roll 🙂

Hooray, the more the merrier! I’ve sent you both invites and I see you’ve settled in already Squidge 🙂

@squidge that doesn’t make you stupid, I did exactly the same thing the first time I did NaNo 🙂

Congratulations, elle!!

I’ve had a couple of flash published.

Congratulations! Completely deserved.

I was thinking a PM to the setter would be the easiest way, and not putting too much responsibility on a smallish group of people, but we can always try it for a while and see how it goes.

An alternating competitive-non competitive challenge is an option, but how would we decide who set the prompt for the non-competitive months?

Just checked with Steve and apparently an 18 year old is limited to bikes of no more than 125 cc – nippy enough to weave through London traffic, but max speed of ~60mph (and not as nippy as the twist’n’go scooters beloved by street thieves) Once he’s 19 and had has 2 years experience he can go larger.
Happy to answer any other questions on the subject.

This all sounds good, though I’m not entirely sure how the peer judging would work. Would everyone send scores to the setter, or just people who have volunteered to judge, or some other subgroup?

Steve is out – on his BSA B33 – today, I’ll ask him when he returns.
