Whisks

Thanks all. I hope the extra pressure on the Cloud isn’t breaking it. I notice that things like style sheets and image files aren’t loading straight away which does some odd things to the Cloud’s appearance. I wonder if SocialGo have stopped routine tasks that keep the system in good order.

You washed him? Oh lordy. You poor thing.

Doing a bit. Not so much as I should, but I’m on chapter 7 of Draft 1 of AsYetUntitledStory, so that’s something. In the middle of a weirdly non-sexy sexy scene, or a weirdly sexy non-sexy scene. Either way, it’s something new.

How’s about you?

Cats have long memories, but they’re fickle. I’m sure you can buy back its affection somehow.

Cracking stuff. There ye go.
There’s a few jelly babies in a bowl (note, not really a bowl, just a half-full bag, but let’s pretend this is posh) on the table (not really a table, just a stool beside the computer desk) too.
What’s the craic, WB?

Afraid I won’t have the time to get involved, Ath. But good luck to ye all.

Evenin’. I’ve just found that I can’t access this forum from work, where I could access the Cloud, but hey ho, such is life.
Congrats on the great news Philippa. Not the snail thing, that’s pretty horrible. But the book stuff. That’s all great.
I’ve got a lovely bottle of red wine here, if anyone’s around and fancies a glass.

Great idea, Athel 🙂

Yay!

Squidge, I would have LOVED to have gone, but that’s the last Golden Egg workshop and I’ll be in Manchester 🙁

Thanks Ath
They are always a really good motivator for me, even if I can’t get my story over the finish line in the end. Will go and sniff about and no doubt sign up.

Hil, you are so on the cusp of great things, I know it. Tortoise like a champion!
Good luck, Sandra, with your edits. I look forward to hearing more about it!

Great stuff, John T! I wish you all the best of luck with it. Sounds like you’ve done your research well, and are targeting the right options. I did love the sound of your book when you told me about it at York last year. Have you read “Owl Song at Dawn” by Emma Claire Sweeney?

Raine – I seem to have crossed with you!

Hello All!
Lovely to be here, and thanks for the cuppa. Just what the doctor ordered. 🙂

Well, following on from my news back on the ol’ Cloud forum a few months ago, after signing with agent Sarah Manning, I completely wrote the book as planned. That was a real slog, but I got there.

I sent the initial draft of that to her in June. Thankfully,…[Read more]
