@JaneyGodley Sending you so much love Janey. You’ve brought joy and happiness to so many people. I’m gutted I missed your last tour because it sold out so quickly. You’re one in a million 💜

I unlocked £30 Rush tickets for Standing at the Sky's Edge on @TodayTixUK! https://t.co/T4lA86p3HZ

@JaneyGodley Happy birthday lovely Janey! 🎂🥂🍾🎉

@realeverywriter Absolutely. I’m frequently amazed at what direction a storyline takes. The characters develop themselves and take you on a tour of their world.

@CDavistheAuthor @LAThomasAuthor It’s never too late to start! As long as it’s still November, in this case… Good luck! ✍️

There are lots of subtle differences between UK and US grammar, and Google searches often throw up predominantly US results. Dashes are one example of opening a grammatical Pandora’s box. #grammar #ukgrammar #editing #editor #writing #NaNoWriMo #Englishlessons

@SoVeryBritish Panties and titties for me 🤢

@JaneyGodley My stepdad showed me one of those fish when I was small… he put it in his hand and it wiggled about. He said it meant he was fickle. Some time later he left my mum for another woman! I’ve stayed away from them since (and him!)

I’m rubbish at socials & marketing, but I’m doing lots of writing and building up my editing experience. If anyone needs a good deal on a copy edit, hit me up! #editor #writer

@JaneyGodley How bitter and angry these people are. They must have really awful lives to spend their time hating on other people like this. I’m so sorry Janey. You’re a shining star on here, they’re horrible black holes.. please don’t let them suck you in. Keep shining 🌟

Be less afraid of getting things wrong than missing the chance to engage. Failing is life. No one so step-perfect to judge you. Behind every successful outcome is a weeping heap of mess.
Stay curious. Doing stuff renders the demons toothless.
Up and at it my beauties :-). Xxx

@AlanClark143140 @JaneyGodley If you have to run to the toilet to be safe there’s a much bigger problem than a gender fluid cubicle.

@LlamaBusiness @somebloketweetn Maybe it’s a good time to learn about budgets? Split his money between savings, money for essentials and money for fun? I wasn’t taught to budget or plan, and I got into lots of debt after I left home.

@YuvalKordov @wlahaie Please don’t do this unsolicited. Ask first, because if they don’t want that kind of feedback you could be doing more harm than good.

@IndyVoices This is nonsense. Hold people accountable for their own actions. Yes, tickets are extortionate but so are theatre bars. I can’t speak for Manchester but you’d have to be rich to get drunk in a west end theatre. Ushers shouldn’t have to deal with disrespectful audience members.

@Viking_Ma Definitely cream on top. Jam is designed to be spread, cream is always a topping. For those saying cream is butter, it’s not. Butter goes on under the jam, cream on top - you have both!

@grash271 @SophieAziz123 @BobRobPolitico @NadineDorries Me too! 👊
