I finished walking Offa's Dyke a couple of weekends ago. Grey skies over the Severn here. It's been such a joy to walk these 177 miles (I'm totally sure I did more than that!!) with some of the best women in my life. And the first draft of my novel continues apace...

Bloody delighted to have won a Northern Writers Award for Fiction from @NewWritingNorth for my novel-in-progress, about four women walking Offa's Dyke, taking in their friendship, their lives, their mothering, their ageing. This award is such a wonderful boost.

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal."

@JoeSedgwick20 @tenpennydreams I can't decide if this is a compliment!!!!

@LindaGreenisms Thank you for this thread. I am one of those mid list/mid career writers in the exact position you are describing. It's a hard place to be. I'm so glad you have found some security for the coming years/books :)

What an absolute joy it was to co-host @BartlettArchUCL's first ever writing festival this week, with the fabulous Jane Rendell and Polly Gould. All those words are still resonating...

I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. @_RobbieMoore, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?

[Sarah Butler @SarahButler100]

@DrPragyaAgarwal Sorry to hear this. I am stacking up rejections at the moment, and each one hurts!

[Sarah Butler @SarahButler100]

So wonderful to have an archive of site-writing from @TheBartlettUCL's wonderful Site-Writing module (which I get to teach on!) on display at @BuildingCentre until 25 April: https://t.co/nq81JGjSCo #London #sitewriting #writing #placewriting
