Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 3 months agoI haven’t even got around to reading the chapter yet. Can we have two?

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 3 months agoYep. Of course.
I figured I’d check as it is scheduled for tomorrow, but no posts have been made on Class 3, and I wondered if that meant people had been too busy with Christmas things etc.
Is a week longer enough time?

Andrew Wille's DIY MA course 6 years, 3 months agoNo. Can we have an extension?

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!
https://www.facebook.com/events/566502330574153/
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!

Nice one, Jane. I’ll get my thinking cap on.

JaneShuff started the topic Monthly competition – January 2020 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 3 months ago
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]

Well done Jane – very well deserved – and thanks to Janette for the opportunity to try out a scene.

Well done to Janeshuff – well deserved. And thanks for the competition, Janette.

Janette replied to the topic Monthly Comp – December 2019 in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 3 months ago
Only four entries this month, so easy to judge, yeah? No way. Each one was a delight to read and I’ve had to read them over again, and again, to decide on a winner.
Sandra, your prologue is a hook which begs me to read on and see how the ‘will they – won’t they’ conundrum pans out. Lucy, it would seem, has more facets than a brilliant cut…[Read more] -

This year, Santa brought me, Mrs Ath, and the in-laws…..norovirus.
-
Noooooo. You poor things. I hope you’re feeling better and ready to enjoy a festive New Year!
-
That’s grim, Ath. I do hope you’re all getting better. All the best.
-
About 20 hours in. Can now keep water down (which is nice). Bit annoyed that the in-laws didn’t tell us how I’ll they were until the middle of our visit. With D’s mum being an ex ward sister I’d have expected better.
-
I’d have been quite a lot annoyed 🙂

Ugh … in-laws can be outlaws of the very worst sort …

What rotten luck. Hope all are feeling better x

Only hours to go and only four entries to the monthly comp. Go on, why not exercise your writing muscles ahead of the new year?

Slipping through the door at (nearly) the 11th hour. 400 words with title.
The Tent
When I was eight, my parents gave me a tent for Christmas. Of course, I insisted on spending the night in the garden. The coldest night of the year, but I wore them down with my relentless pleading until finally, with three pairs of pyjamas, two sleeping bags, a…[Read more]

Slipping in at almost the last moment… with 395 words:
On the last day of the old year, the family always walked to Rock Island. Chivvied by our mother and wrapped up well in woollen jumpers, tights, hats, scarfs and gloves. The time of day when dusk was falling like a dark chiffon scarf over the landscape. We’d walk the sandy path along the t…[Read more]

I hope everybody had a good Christmas. Our Warner hotel Christmas break went off pretty well. For one thing, no cooking and no washing up – you can’t knock that. It makes a nice change to be among the youngest people present – and to see, all the time we were there, only one person using a smartphone. But…
I am by no means a religious per…[Read more]

Probably falling on deaf ears amid the Christmas celebrations, but there are only 7 days to go for the monthly comp, and so far only two entries. Fancy having a few hours writerly chill and having a go?
