I just amended the post to tag people, which I’d forgotten to do before. I hope people get notifications of tags when it’s an edited post? Oh well, we’ll find out

Ever so late to this, sorry – only just read it.
My take on it is not to sweat what everyone else could do, but to focus on what *you* can do to protect yourself. To take back the power. You are, after all, the most important person in your world.
A long time ago I lived in a rough area and was mugged and the guy had a knife. This left me…[Read more] -
Daedalus started the topic Monthly competition guidelines – PLEASE READ FIRST in the forum Monthly Competition 7 years, 11 months ago
On the former Word Cloud forum, there was a monthly competition. This was not a prestigious affair, but it was a way of helping members improve their writing or just have a bit of fun. It was a genuine community affair as, initiated by a member with the delightful name ‘Wrathnar the Unreasonable’, the competition was set and judged by members. The…[Read more]

That seems short-sighted, to put it mildly! It’s good practice for any personnel in public-facing roles to have some kind of conflict resolution training, IMO. I’ve had a quick look online and found some courses (no idea how good they are, I’m afraid) that are as little as two hours and as inexpensive as £25 per person. You’re doing the right…[Read more]

Mean and generous tied at 11 each so the outcome at the moment is generous by default. Anybody yet to vote who feels like being mean?
-
Generous please. There’s already enough meanness in the world.
-
That’s true of the world. But had you considered that a little meanness might help the short story challenge?
-
No, m’dear. I don’t know enough about it to consider whether or not it needs help – and assume it’ll be strong enough. 😀

Just a quick note to all Denizens: if you’ve missed the “Room with a View” challenge, take a quick trip to the group “A Room with a View” and read up on this short story extravaganza. You have until 22:00 tomorrow (Sunday 30th September) to join the group and make choices as explained in the Welcome Topic. It’s great fun and lasts until FEBRUARY…[Read more]

@andrew Good to see you here, Andrew! Your wise words will be welcome (alliteration noted), and I’m looking forward to seeing you at Words Away’s workshop on Voice in November. I’ve roped in my writing buddy Thea again, too.

Hi! Good to be in touch with you here, and shall also look forward to seeing you and Thea in November. Busily putting final touches to tomorrow’s class on Plotting – about to print the handouts (which always takes longer than planned …).
Cheers!
Andrew
