My latest collection of short stories - Futures - is now available through amazon or via my website https://t.co/2m97UBcy4a It's a series of speculative stories on what might come next, if (and when) things fall apart and how we respond. Plus aliens.

@karinbeery It's not about the money (or the fame). Although...

[Mark Bilsborough @MarkBils]

@Cmourbenson honest but kind and constructive.

@ClaireLLLW81 hell no - they're scary!

Finally got around to watching The Marvels. I was expecting it to be good, frankly, since I don't buy in to the current trend of Marvel-bashing. Good star turns, too. But silly plot and arbitary action scenes explain its poor box office, I'm afraid. Despite the cool alen cats.

still waiting...

Apparently Counting Crows have a new 'proper' album out in November. About time. #CountingCrows

@theoneginevra The purist in me would rather they didn't but it's all marketing, not content. No big deal.

@Stacey_Dighton My early stuff looks like someone else wrote it.

@ilovenostalgia Instant recognition, which makes me feel very old. Sigh.

[Mark Bilsborough @MarkBils]

@theoneginevra no - unpredictability beats formula every time

murky and wet today - will the English summer ever start (wait - is it really September 1st? Maybe next year...)

@hague_rw Hybrid - as the first but no comma after vest. Though I suspect you should replace the comma after tall with a conjunction (and) to avoid a comma splice.

[Mark Bilsborough @MarkBils]

@lhallwriter Yes. Suggests sloppiness (or an inability to spell/punctuate). Makes me lose confidence in the story.
