@cassy79654 Suggestions for what?

Loved the new Sally Rooney novel, but felt the ending was a little too neat, too conveniently positive given how complex the characters’ predicaments are - what did you think? #SallyRooney #intermezzo

Beautiful day for an autumn run. Writers need to move their bodies every day - it’s good for inspiration and helps you to get off your backside. Richard Ford famously runs after completing his morning’s writing, before the afternoon’s editing session with his wife.

@PamKeevil Absolutely! :-)

@AndrejevicSenja Judging by the picture, you might have an army of flesh eating pumpkins in the narrative.

It’s nearly Halloween time and I feel weirdly inspired to write a horror story, something I’ve never done before. What is a genre you’ve never written in but would love to try?

@damonlordwriter Welcome aboard! PhD is thankfully a marathon not a sprint :-) I look forward to meeting you later.

@AndrejevicSenja I rarely use Xwitter these days (it's not a platform I enjoy any more), but I wanted to reply. After yrs of trying to make time, I hope my PhD project with its approach to seriality will force me to find an answer to this, for myself at least. It's an aspect I hadn't considered.

For many writers, finding the time to write regularly is a challenge, if we have jobs and families. Have you managed to create a routine where you write a little bit every day?

Last night I went to a Cheltenham Lit Fest event organised by the Gloucestershire Writers Network, to hear my colleague Mike D. D. Johnston read from his new novel “Disnaeland”. Such a funny, brilliant novel. It’s a privilege to work alongside writers such as Mike!

@Lifeofmariw @LucyLetbyTrials yes, on Spotify you can find We need to talk about Lucy Letby. It’s a little slow as it’s done by two scientists (a doctor and a statistician) but the information they discuss and present is phenomenal. Detail like you won’t find anywhere else.

"Obviously, our evidence, and statistical analysis, showed that [sic] Lucy Letby's presence at everything." This is Paul Hughes—Cheshire police's lead investigator on the Letby case. Everyone from police to prosecutors to the reporters in court agreed that the—yes, statistical—evidence of which nurses were on shift when the relevant deaths and collapses happened was absolutely central to the case. But the supposedly solid foundations of the infamous "nurses present" graph have since collapsed. As a result, many are now trying to claim that statistics played no role whatsoever at Letby's trials. It's a lie.

Let’s hope I can generate plenty of stern looks this weekend! #writing #firstdraft

A writer’s responsibility travels down a generation or more… we must be careful, honest and brave with our stories.

I love this quote. Writing means building an entire world - universe, even - from scratch. Shouldn’t we celebrate that more?

Having worked for the last few years on my first novel, I’m not writing much drama atm. But I was mega excited to learn that, at my work, the amazing @PapatangoTC will be running a free workshop on 13 November! Can’t wait to learn from these legends of the playwriting industry!

How I feel at the thought of what I really should be doing next week lol

If you can read mirror style writing, you’ll be able to tell we went to see the new production of Waiting for Godot, which was fab. Feeling very inspired to write drama!

Like all writers, there are few places I love more than a good library, but I do sometimes worry about getting stuck between these moveable shelves! Wh

Writer friends! If you’ve always dreamed of writing for TV, here’s the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

As a writer, I’m always looking for seeds of potential stories, and one of my favourite sources of inspiration is the news. If you’re a writer too, drop me a DM to let me know where you get your ideas from - we can exchange some top tips!
