@lizfilleul @juliedg I also like 3000, I feel I get to explore the world just that little bit more perhaps?

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers @juliedg You could absolutely write one!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@juliedg I’ve always wanted to try long fiction but at the moment I enjoy short stories because I can (just about!) find the time to finish them. I think you need consistency and momentum to finish something longer.

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers @juliedg That’s good news - well done!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@lizfilleul @juliedg Well done! How exciting 👏🏻

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@juliedg I’m joining a bit late but lovely to be here! Finally have a bit of writing progress: finished a story for a competition and have started editing two more that have been hanging around for a while!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers @SJPfiction @TheFriendMag Thanks! Hopefully this turns out to be true!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@SJPfiction Ooh I haven’t thought to attempt that! I love the idea but worry I probably wouldn’t do my favourite characters justice! (But I did enjoy Death comes to Pemberley so quite like it when others do!)

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@Jenni_Gregory4 @MarianJMyers Yes! It comes around quickly doesn’t it?

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers I’m having that at the moment - I’m trying to force myself to just write something and explore even some bad/weak ideas. At least to get them out of my system and hopefully come up with something better soon!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@keelerangie @MarianJMyers Yes thinking about it the Christmas story I finished this summer was started a long time ago…probably last December! 🙈

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@lilysslave @MarianJMyers That’s a very good work rate! 👏🏻

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@keelerangie @MarianJMyers That’s a great idea - sometimes the actual time of year can give a bit of inspiration!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers Yes I think i that’s actually very restrained! One of the houses near me already has a Christmas wreath on the door!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers No writing news from me - hoping to start a new story this week so you can hold me to it if I say I haven’t started by next week!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MargretGeraghty @MarianJMyers Well done!

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@TheFriendMag Welcome Lucy! 👋

[Amanda Smith @Amanda_LS_Smith]

@MarianJMyers That’s a great idea. I’d never thought of it but I think I would because I imagine it would be like an in person version of this hour, which I always find so nice for camaraderie and motivation.
