This tiny notepad may be representative of how much writing I have done so far this year, but are we dispirited? Not yet! And this Wednesday coming we will meet to discuss a young lady pulled from the sea & a determined artisan with some interesting paper skills

I have been away, and I apologize. (In particular I apologize to anyone who was caught out by the no-longer-accurate pinned tweet about where we meet) Normal service will be resumed as soon as I can remember what that involves ...


We have a standard meeting coming up this Wednesday from 6pm. Come along if you're a Birmingham-based writer who would like to meet other writers. We're a friendly group who are very good at motivating each other and giving constructive criticism. facebook.com/permalink.php?…

A question to spur the imagination: where did she go?


If any word at all is better than a blank page, allow me to present you with the word spartan.


"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." Mark Twain


Filling in the background: for the horrifiers - has this happened elsewhere? Did word of it ever get out?


How about a random prompt to kickstart your writing? The word of the day is disgust.


I'm not sure whether I find this reassuring or not - turns out the reason I struggle matching verbs to collective nouns (the team is? the team are?) is that in the UK both forms are acceptable. en.oxforddictionaries.com/grammar/matchi…


I'm curious: what would you like to see here?


Need to flex those writing muscles? Quick, don't think, write about the taste of blood.


"It's always too soon to quit." - Norman Vincent Peale


A question to provoke a tale: what can with this one truth compare?
