@GWmag Hi guys Just letting you know that none of the questions are appearing on the website Competitions page. Please pass this on to whomever you need to because nobody can enter anything until you do. 😊

This instalment contains the most suspect of tenuous links to Oxford, but I think it's still worth a watch.

Make the readers care about the characters – add stakes. The latest instalment in @exogamist's 'How to Write Your Novel Using That Most Unlikely of Writing Implements: A Round-Oxford Bus Ticket'. youtu.be/Lcro3rplbGU

@jo_thomas01 I bet you're struggling to leave him alone all the same. 😉

Ha! I meant addition!

There’s a new addiction to the Thomas family!

@sophiearumble Mine looks exactly like yours, incl. the scratches. Recently got a Bluetooth dongle for it so I can use wire-free headphones. Game-changer.

@charduck I'm definitely going to go one year, but I might have to take a friend so that we can feel left out together.

🚨Been oversharing again! 🙈 Some honest thoughts about Harrogate: charlotteduckworthstudio.com/being-publishe… #TheakstonsCrime #writingcommunity

@AMAZlNGNATURE I love the idea that the piddly little fence is going to keep him out if he wants to come back in. 🤣

Man tells a bear he’s not invited and has to leave…😳🐻

@Matt_Pinner Cardinal Fang – Fang for short.

What would you name him?

@exogamist I think he liked it! That's a fab review.

Great review for Streetcar from crime fiction legend, Maxim Jakubowski: '... the first self-published book I’ve reviewed in over 30 years as a critic... Rush out and order this delightful novel immediately!' crimetime.co.uk/to-the-max-max…

@bossproofreader So sorry, @bossproofreader. My local council keeps doing this too. They said last year's experiment, leaving it alone to see whether wildflowers flourished, only resulted in weeds and long grass so not worth doing and better to keep it tidy. Idiots!!

Heartbroken my new landlord has massacred my twisted hazel and ripped up all the poppies, field buttercups and oxeye daisies while I was away. It’s visceral.

@bossproofreader Yes, and I plan to install in the next year or so.

Do you know what this is? Are you under 45?

Hey my friends at @DoveyJunction you appear in my latest novel!

@CCherryEdits Thank you. I really enjoyed working on it.

Great feedback on my proofreading and a treatise on why you should get a professional edit, all rolled into one. #amediting #crimefiction #CluedUpEditing

@Gungglefont @exogamist Oh, I think it's only on Amazon at the moment. Better ask @exogamist.

@CluedUpEditing @exogamist I asked for it in Waterstones the other day. Bloke looked at me like I just stepped out of a spaceship.

I was so excited to be asked to work on this novel. I've been a fan for a long time. Thank you, @exogamist, for putting your trust in me. It came out in paperback a few days ago. Head to Amazon for your copy. amazon.co.uk/Streetcar-Name… #copyediting #crimefiction #CluedUpEditing
