Chuffed to get my copy of the '81 Words Flash Fiction Anthology'. Mine is one of the (potentially record-breaking) 1,000 stories by 1,000 authors. It's definitely broken the record for 'largest book in which my work has been published'! @ChrisFielden @81words

For this weekend’s Author Reading, #SpaceCatStar @michelewitthaus reads her poem, ‘Everyone Should be Prepping’, which revolves around a prepper who is determined to survive off-the-grid. Watch Michele’s Author Reading here: youtu.be/ZGIg6ttWYrs #ForestOfBarkAndBone
🚨NEW: The planet is burning & Sunak is asleep at the wheel. He should attend #COP28, help secure global agreement to phase out fossil fuels, & get serious about abundant & affordable clean energy here at home. Our cross-party letter from @ClimateAPPG 👇 independent.co.uk/news/uk/mps-hi…

#ChatGPT and the coal mine decision.
There's a giddy excitement when you get to the end of a draft. It feels like there should be fireworks or some kind of medal ceremony because not so long ago getting to the end felt IMPOSSIBLE. I always like to celebrate the little wins to keep me motivated. 1/

SHORT THREAD: Was just on @BBCNews responding to the comments made by Sunak & backed by Truss saying scientists had too much power, lockdowns were a mistake etc 1. They are rewriting what happened - the situation pre vaccine was very very scary with 150K dying pre wide vax. 1/7
We need to overcome the pathological disease called affluenza - the belief that a meaningful life comes from material wealth. In a finite planet, resources need to be used in a more sustainable & equitable way that reflects love & respect for our Earth, animals and each other.
Perhaps this is a good as it gets for my novel ‘Broken’ but I was delighted. #13 in British and Irish Drama and Plays
