Wowed by your generosity, Philippa! I’m sure you do/will get a lot out of it too. In case you missed my post on another thread, I recently completed a stunning course at Faber called ‘Who do you think they are?’ which was led by a psychotherapist. It was fascinating and very useful.

A Room with a View 8 years agoThere’s an awful lot of meanness going on around here. I vote ‘generous’ coz that’s just the kinda gal I am.
-
[worried about lack of generosity] I think you need to post this on the chitchat topic.
-
Be mean to all those meanies…
-
I laughed when I saw your reply (you know I can be mean, too!) 😀
Must confess, I’m getting a bit lost around here, and I usually have an excellent sense of direction.
-
I know what you mean! No, about the sense of direction.
-
And I hadn’t meant to be pointed about meanness, in any way.
-
Rest assured, I didn’t take it like that!

Not something I imagined would happen when we were chewing over it a few months back

I thought we agreed we wouldn’t allow hitting

Oh Gosh, you’re 100% right. I remember now. Also, no biting, gouging or spoon scooping action. That last one almost got through if I recall, but was thrown out on a recount after somebody was shown to have voted for it 17 times. Can’t remember who that was now.

{looks around guiltily}
No idea.-
Spoons!

Athelstone replied to the topic Getting an Agent. in the forum Blogs 8 years ago
My experience of Twitter is that the impression one gets of its nature, for example whether there is a particular faction behaving in a particular way, is very much dependent on where you go and who you follow but also what you regard as appropriate or excessive. Personally, I have never noticed that I am not followed back; if anything I am the…[Read more]

This is a very interesting thread. Of no direct interest to me, I’m not looking for an agent, but it’s heartwarming to see Den dwellers giving their knowledge so freely. Very generous. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Yes, I’d read more. The first section is intriguing and I’d want to find out how this fits into the overall story. Good writing, confident. Might be a bit overwritten in places – could be simplified on edit, perhaps.
Second section brings us back to reality nicely, well written. Without knowing the story it’s difficult to say if these sections…[Read more] -
