Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I loved my time as a write in residence @gladlib.bsky.social in February 2018, where I had a revelation about what I was doing and thinking about what would become #SomeOfUsJustFall as well as the poetry I intended to focus on there. Apply, apply apply! www.gladstoneslibrary.org/news/volume/...

I love writing retreats but I never try to write anything! I'm there for the writers, the lovely creative atmosphere, but perfectly happy to enjoy the local area in the daytime when other people are at their desks

Thank you #PLR and thank you to all the librarians out there - especially in the children’s section. What you’re doing is incredibly important in this time where money is tight for so many families. To be able to find books and read widely is crucial for children. #SupportLibraries

I'd like to thank anyone who ordered one of my books from their library too - I'm sure that's helped my PLR from self-published books to start catching up with my trad published ones this year

And also stories are the nature of our mind - just notice the processes of memory and decision-making - stories of the past endlessly developing, and story versions of the imagined future

I nearly cancelled my course about old people as protagonist, mentor and archetype because bookings were slow, but one of the participants has had the story she wrote accepted for publication and a second one's has been shortlisted in a Writing Magazine comp. I knew old people were interesting!

Yes it’s time to start working towards leaving Meta. Yes it is not a business as usual situation. But please bear in mind you are scolding millions of artists, writers, musicians, creators, many of them queer, into boycotting their storefront overnight - with no viable alternative.
