@MatGost Absolutely brilliant

@DeAnnWrites It's happening!!! matgost.substack.com/p/submission-c…

I'd love to edit an anthology of quiet horror. Short stories drenched in edgy atmosphere, subtle weirdness, and creeping dread. Slow-burning, unsettling mood over splatter and gore. Just sending this out into the universe. Any presses/writers interested in making this happen?

@LifeFullColour1 @IngridASLW @jill_artist @annlprintmaker @PeterMattinson @Zebra_carol @PETASTROSS @zoer320 @NWalesSocial @WelshCountry Bright and beautiful. Perfect for a winter day.

I am thrilled to announce that we have sold out of another book! This time, it's Searchlight Seasons by @NorthSeaNav 😍🧡 The restock of White Cloud Over Purple and cactus land are expected this week, with another run of this book to follow soon. Thanks so much!

I'm not leaving this place as I have too many wonderful friends here. I have just made an account on the other place though if you wanted to follow me there 😁

Sue's novel: A historical murder mystery set in the UK where a disillusioned young reporter, Laura, discovers her deceased grandmother, Sophie, was a member of the WW2 French Resistance. As Laura looks into her grandmother's past, she uncovers secrets that might get her buried.

Yesterday, someone in this photo (can you guess who?) finished the first draft of her first #novel. She started in June 2024 on my @alwcymru course 'Write Your First Novel'. 19 weeks later (in the Novel 2 class) she typed the end. Congratulations Sue! You are an inspiration!

@JSJohnstonauthr I'm wrapping up and migrating.

Real question: How many of you are planning to move to 🟦sky? Should I start packing my bags? What about if Twitter merges with Truth?

@kirkraff Good choice. See you on the flip side!

Hi #WritingCommunity Like many of you, I’m moving on to other spaces. I 💛 you all, but I can't support this platform anymore. I’m on 🦋🧵📸 with the same handle. I'd love to connect and keep it rolling. If this is goodbye, thank you so much for the support and friendship.

I have done it

@JanePaiceArt Today had some surreal but beautiful scenery

@DeAnnWrites That must have been surreal. Thank you - I often feel like travelling through a painting (some more than others!).

A little #Moonlight on the misty moors.

@JanePaiceArt I drove through Llanfairfechan tonight and the sea had confused the mist so that it swirled and blotted out the landscape around me. I felt like I was driving through one of your beautiful paintings!

@DeAnnWrites Beautiful.

@kangaroos991 @MarkHamill I'm with Mark

Drop a 💙 if you're with @MarkHamill! 💙
