@brucel @WebDevLaw You should have read what had to be cut! 🫣

Ladies and gentlemen, good night—and good luck.

@WebDevLaw Living my best life in acres of pastel trouser. You?

@anna_debenham Loved reading this, Anna. I’ve let my reading slip over the past few years – a consequence of my work, combined with reading constantly to a story-loving seven-year-old! – but your piece makes me want to get back to reading what I choose for myself, time permitting. Thanks.

A day late? What are you talking about? Happy Halloween! (or The Nightmare after Christmas). https://t.co/3LqR4eqa9d

@cole007 You seem to have combined Xmas and Easter iconography… Merry Christmas!

@paulrobertlloyd Holy crap! 😲🤬😳 Hope you’re OK, Paul.

[Owen Gregory (@[email protected]) @FullCreamMilk]

@WebDevLaw I *can* get behind that.

@CatherineDunn8 But it’s of no use to play this game!

@CatherineDunn8 Are the numbers taken from each letter’s value in Scrabble?

@RellyAB What everyone else said. It’s great. Clever use of music too. (Though Bluey’s dad shows up the inadequacies of dads (read, me) everywhere by being the most engaged a dad can be. Bastard.)

‘Is this the promised end?’
‘Or image of that horror?’
‘Fall and cease!’

[Owen Gregory (@[email protected]) @FullCreamMilk]

Oh my! Thank you, Heather.

@WebDevLaw *blushes* ☺️ Thank you! We editors like our work to go unnoticed by readers, but love it when authors recognize what we offer. (And did I spot a bit of Nick Drake in there?)

@adactio ‘I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Who already have been sold.’

@Lisa_Cordaro When I write my Great British novel, full of adventure, mystery, and rum and uncanny goings-on, all my characters’ names will be discoverable in the sheets of Ordnance Survey.

@GeckoEdit @lukefinleyedit @spanglykoala @JenniferMaslin Now that’s what I call anti-social media… ☺️

@lukefinleyedit @SanderlingEdit Would ‘exponence’ do?
