What's your private school name? Take: the last medication you were on, your first teacher's last name, and then the first one syllable last name that comes into your head. Mine is Flucloxacillin McCafferty-Price.

MR HOLLAND'S OPUS X THE INTERN

A Hollywood Icon. An assassinated presidential candidate. A reclusive Pulitzer winner.

An elderly concierge knows their stories.

Josie comes looking for them, but ends up with much, much more than she bargained for. #PitMad #a #con

I've reached that stage of #parenting where the postman looks in the window and thinks we've been robbed.

The moment when you realise that post-covid nights out are going to be so expensive thanks to the alcohol tolerance everyone's built up by drinking at home for the last year.

This #vss365 is dedicated to the memory of Captain Sir Thomas Moore, who reminded us all that #nothing is more important than our shared humanity; and that even with the smallest steps, we can change the world for the better.

@SMTunn2 I beta read this. It's such a rollercoaster.

This is where I Leave You X The Corrections

To find a voice in the face of aggression

To overcome an addiction

To rediscover joy in the ruins of betrayal

To open a heart that was locked away

They must face the past so they can learn to move on.

The emotionally caged Stone family are brought together for a family funeral, forcing each of them to finally face up to the ghosts of the past.

If they can let go of what was, they can finally open themselves up to what was meant to be.

Seasons:

To find a voice in the face of aggression.

To overcome addiction.

To rediscover joy in the ruins of betrayal.

To open a heart that was locked away.

They must learn to finally let go of what was, in order to open themselves up to what was meant to be. #xponorth

The mascara-stained bride huddled on the kerb, her venue in flames behind her.

A Six-year-old neighbour child approached with a blanket for her. Placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, she whispered in the bride's ear.

"#Vex me with your noise again, you're next."

She placed the tiny body onto the altar waiting at the summit.

Just a few days of life. Full of pain.

She scanned the horizon, spotting the first #vulture rising on the thermals.

Soon they would come, and the little soul would be free to dance among the stars. #vss365

Someone's post got me thinking...

I wonder how much demand there would be for a business where you send in your manuscript and they do the querying process for you. The whole thing - query, synopsis, finding suitable agents & handling rejection.

[S.M. Tunn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👨‍🏫👨‍👩‍👧📚 @SMTunn2]

I think (gulp!) I may be ready for alpha readers. This terrifies me, to be honest. How do I go about getting them? Would anyone be interested in taking a gander at an early draft contemporary family drama novel (117,212 words)? #WritersCafe #amwriting

[Irony Sheik @IronySheik]

@SMTunn2 As long as it takes to be able to look at it fresh, I guess.

[S.M. Tunn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👨‍🏫👨‍👩‍👧📚 @SMTunn2]

How long should you leave your MS for before editing? It's been a couple of weeks and I'm wondering if it's still too soon...

Looking at classical books through the lens of your six month old 2020 moral values is ridiculous. It'd be like me reading Great Expectations and saying it's nonsense because Pip doesn't have any social media.
