The murder of Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei at the hands of her boyfriend, got a single line on the news this morning.
Let's make more of it here. Another beautiful and talented woman's life snuffed out by violence.

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵

1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.

[Moniack Mhor @moniackmhor]

Virginia Woolf took her own life 83 years ago on this day. Here is the beautiful final letter she left for her husband, my great-uncle Leonard Woolf 💜

@forthygreatpain @BBCRadio3 I would add Gardeners' World and visits to National Trust properties (any) to that list. I cried when I visited Wells Cathedral this year, I was so moved (Greg had to escort me from the building) – so yours is a list I can relate to, Vicky. 😂

[Victoria MacKenzie @forthygreatpain]

A gentle reminder that my novel, For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain, about the medieval mystics Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, will be read on Radio 4 this Saturday afternoon 2.45-4pm! 💙
