awww 🙁 I got it too, the white screen of death…a very sad day. Bye bye Cloudling…#farewell

Ath, the comp!! What happens now?

(Why didn’t my clever linky thing to @Jules work??)

And thank you for good wishes Philippa! Getting myself in quite a knot with all the limb crossing over here…Yes I agree about Jessie’s letter being unusually intimate and long winded and having two agents interested allowing that. Definitely. But I did find it interesting that Juliet said she…[Read more]

Any rewriting should be done sparingly, strictly as an example (unless the author requests otherwise) and the power should always be returned to the author when you’ve finished.

There’s this topic and a sticky FAQ page which is closed to comments, Barny. Otherwise it looks fine in my browser.

I feel like ýou’re talking from personal experience here, Ath 😁

Really interesting reading, Richard. The name was familiar but I haven’t read anything by him. It’ unusal for me not to have at least sampled something by a historic fantasy writer. I can see what you mean about his writing being a bit Marmite. It was making me wince and laugh at the same time.
