We're a growing writers' group based in London. 7 books out there & 3 in progress! #scifi #fantasy #speculative @anne_e_currie, @jon_rowland, & TBA.

Interesting. Did books you read at school enthuse you or turn you off them? The latter for me. Thank goodness there wasn't much scifi. I think "Z for Zachariah" was the only one.

How does the English Literature curriculum get decided, and what – if anything – can be done to shape its future? #LitInColour

The US laser program is more advanced than I'd guessed (and this is from a few years ago) https://t.co/u3fnLqI5Eq

Doing some research into building your own wind generators from common household goods for the next book... https://t.co/QabpMo63AU This is quite a fun video.

@GaxTZ draft1 book 6!

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@ReniStankova @JennieLeeSchade Nice to meet you Reni! https://t.co/justuzWPgI we write and talk about #scifi in London!

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@xAnaWesleyx Hard #scifi!! https://t.co/UTScx62Qmc gotta love some physics

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@RevolutionaryNP The latest book in my #scifi series, The Panopticon is on offer today (99p rather than 2.99) https://t.co/03VYp979G6

@JBRoseberry Everyone's unreliable. I like 1st person because even if the narrator is telling the truth, it might not be correct. More like life ;-)

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

Useful for #scifi writers. How long are people likely to live in future without some paradigm-shifting change in medicine. Looks here like even if we cure cancer we'll get a lot more 105 year olds, but still few 120 year olds.

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

I think 'survival curves' are a great way to visualize how mortality has changed over the course of history.

It might take a moment to wrap your head around how they work, but then you can discover a lot of information in them.

Just finished this new version of such a chart.

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

Ha! despite the fact the answer is yes, and it's how I make my living (the non-fiction stuff) I still don't say I'm a writer ;-)

True or false, #WritingCommunity:

You tell people you’re “a writer?”

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@realeverywriter surely yes ;-)

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

I've got a tech article coming out next week on how the internet survived 2020 and the underlying concepts are so obvious and yet not-obvious & so far reaching I think I need to handle it in my speculative fiction because it's going to be the direction we move in #scifi

@VickiSweets_TX What will the future look like? https://t.co/UTScx62Qmc

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@AuthorPriestley Book 6 in progress!

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@terryjgeo It never even occurred to me that people wouldn't read a prologue! Why read the book if you don't want to read all of it? But that's useful to know

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@AR_Geiger Always, it helps me with navigating the book for editing

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@raaaaaaaaaaaine All the time!

[GravitationalPress @GravPress]

@RogerHPanton1 Not usual I think. Really hard to make that work

@AndySlingerUK Working on draft 1 of book 6 in the Panopticon Series https://t.co/BXbM4kJicP. Only 4 left to do after that... ;-) They're standalone but I'm planning for an end at book 10, so need to start seeding that more obviously now.
