@brclothwrites Negative people; they will drag you down and suck the life out of you if you let them.

@talishammas I'm real. Crime fiction.

As summer slips gently into autumn, the fields are turning brown in this corner of Gloucestershire. And as the nights start to draw in, my thoughts turn towards completing book 2 in the DCI Cope series.

@PJScribbansAuth It depends on how important I think the scene is to the story. If it doesn't really add anything to the overall picture, I scrap it and move on.

[James W Stephens - Author @JStephensAuthor]

@realmattfalcon Yes, I think you have to have a motive.

[James W Stephens - Author @JStephensAuthor]

@goodreads Loads of times.

[James W Stephens - Author @JStephensAuthor]

@stephenRB4 Very much so. I live for the autumn and early winter.

[James W Stephens - Author @JStephensAuthor]

Excited and very much looking forward to seeing the fabulous @HughCornwell and @thecourettes at @cheeseandgrain in November. Roll on the dark nights of autumn.

@klhicks912 I don't know, but I'm sure the floor in the back bedroom is starting to bow under their weight!

@Sara_Writes1 From memory, I think it was about 15 years. I started with pen and paper, then gave up for a few years as I found it too hard. Then, in 2008, I got my first computer and taught myself to type. Slow progress to start as I was so slow typing. You're young; you have time.

@elchandler I hated school full stop. But if I had to choose, Art was my worst subject. Can't even draw a straight line.

@RavenaBlakely My book, Murder In His Blood is 102,000 published words, the first draft was 126,000.

@fawnlvrs Same here. If I'm getting tired when reading in bed, I just fold the corner down and put the book down. If it falls on the floor, the turned corner won't fall out, unlike a bookmark.

Dear Book Marketers,

I'm not interested.

Thanks,

@ColinSpenc4257 Our coalman still delivers.
I don't remember shillings in meters or usherettes and two sittings in the cinema, but do remember everything else.

@brclothwrites I usually read the last page of the previous chapter.
