Remember the protests against Section 28, against coal-fired power stations, for votes for women? None of them would possible today without risking serious jail time. This is the threat to democracy in the UK right now.

I've loved Ursula K Le Guin's quote for a while and I'm so happy this is true. 'Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.' #writingcommunity #amwr

I'm loving this book for the distance between the time of the telling and the time of the action. From the first chapter, the first-person narrator is reflecting on events from a later point in time. Great for foreshadowing! #WritingCommunity #amwri

Here's a taste of Brummie culture that my lovely @The_CIEP #ciep2024 friends will love. This young person's spoken word performances are even better than her written poetry. And isn't this lovely? Enjoy the rest of the conference - don't be strangers! #WritingCommunity

Being at the @The_CIEP conference always reminds me why I love editing and writing fiction, and makes me want to learn from all my fellow editing nerds. Time for a drink, first, though! #writingcommunity #ciep2024

This is like having been liberated from a brutal occupation, so you're celebrating, but by a group you're fairly unimpressed with and in a world that's collapsing, so you just hope they're going to turn out better than they seem ... #Elections2024

Such a treat to work with the editors at @Scholastic and the most lovely author @BillWoodAuthor . Looking forward to seeing Let's Split Up in the shops - and, of course, to copyediting the next zany heart-warming mystery that Bill writes. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting

My new favourite writing mantra: 'You must never think at the typewriter - you must feel.' (Ray Bradbury). If you want that narrative closeness and not just stage directions it's definitely true. #writingcommunity #amwriting

RISHI SUNAK HAS CALLED A GENERAL ELECTION FOR 4 JULY. It's the end of the Tories (and I feel fine).

Final scene of my story - and I've realised my character has gained what they really wanted, which isn't what they'd been saying they wanted #resolution #writingcommunity

Does your story have a character that wants something, a barrier to them getting it, and something at stake if they fail? Do they make active choices? This isn't a formula, just questions to help strengthen your story. #WritingCommunity #amediting justrightediting.co.uk/post/driving-y…

Loved talking about humour in fiction with my @CiEP edibuddies today. Again, avoiding over-explaining is a key factor - exclamation marks and smileys may get culled (but I may start using smileys in comments!) #amediting #writingcommunity

Should arts and science be seen as equally valuable and complementary? Absolutely! Humphry Davy knew this when he wrote poetry in his science notebooks. Read more below. #writingcommunity #amediting justrightediting.co.uk/post/arts-and-…
