@Sensitive_Read Relatable 😆😴

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

I'm already excited! 🥳

[Bloody Scotland @BloodyScotland]

@fionalikes That's certainly how I get motivated to move 😂

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

I kill characters, not my excess words - that's just cruel!
I call them writer bloopers... 😆

[Sarah Ingles @SarahIngles]

I was just told apparently it’s weird to have a “dump document” open where you copy and paste the things you’ve decided to cut from your written draft (right now, a motion) *just in case you need it later.* I save it in the file b/c I can’t let go.

Anyone else do this?

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

@SarahIngles Guess, I could call them writer bloopers...!? 😄

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

@SarahIngles 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️😆
Not because I might need it later but because I only like killing my characters, and not my unneeded words! 💖

[Bloody Scotland @BloodyScotland]

@fionalikes Training, like mindfulness and learning to stay present. Helps when the narrator and book are really good. But staying active while listening helps, especially if doing something boring like cleaning😉

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

Scratch my earlier tweet about not being funny enough to become a crime writer... clearly, if I want to join the Scottish scene, I must first pass a rock n roll audition!? @BloodyScotland
What next?
@DameDeniseMina and @FitzHelen secretly in a Led Zeppelin tribute band?! 🤟

@cbrookmyre: Great writer and funny - and he also fucking sings amazingly!? And plays the guitar and accompanies himself. WTF!? As my boyfriend replied: "Bet he does charity work and is great in bed too - twat!" 😂 @BloodyScotland #BloodyScotland2020 #AtTheCoo

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

Whenever I'm part of @BloodyScotland I always think I'm not funny enough to be a murderous crime writer 😂 🗡🩸🩸🩸

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

@SJ_Watson In 2020 I'm going to have a good reading.... ehm, what?! Is my keyboard bad at English or is this psychic related? 🤔

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

I spy with my eye, something that starts with blooooood 😉
At the public library in Valletta, Malta 😍😎

@DameDeniseMina

[Alba Dane @Alba_Dane]

@DameDeniseMina, holy moly, have you seen? How awesome are you! Only 50 pages in myself but doubt anyone cares about that (probably because my pjs aren't as cute as this blonde's 😂 nor my lounge as stylish (or tidy)... nor my reading pose as pretty...) 💪📚🗡⛵

[Daniel James @danjameswriter]

Libraries do amazing things for individuals and communities and they need our support now more than ever. Thank you to @ToonLibraries @NorthTyneLibs @SouthTyneLibs @GatesheadLibs @litandphil and #libraries across the UK for everything you do. Make every week #LibrariesWeek.

[Neil Broadfoot @NlBro]

Just in time for the weekend, those folk over at Amazon have dropped the paperback price of No Man’s Land to just £2. Why not introduce yourself to Connor Fraser today?

@CapitalCrime1 @adamhamdy @DavidHHeadley @DHHlitagency Hopefully it won't be the weekend straight after Bloody Scotland next year? Really want to go but couldn't make/afford two weekends in a row of hotels etc. 🙏🏼

[Capital Crime @CapitalCrime1]

Today is the day! Just over a year ago, @adamhamdy and @DavidHHeadley took a cab from New York City to JFK and #CapitalCrime was born.

See you for our opening drinks and the @DHHlitagency New Voices Award presentation.
