[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

Loving this Bigolas dickolas drama but also this is an amazing bit of sci-fi/queer romance/time travel wackery (that you’ll love it even if you don’t love sci-fi) which you should 100% read!

Worth reading this article on the govt’s new ‘suspicion of conspiracy to commit a public nuisance’ law and how it’s being used to target journalists.

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

“there’s a pattern emerging – the motivation is to make the protests ineffective by stopping the media coverage. Physically disrupting it, criminalising journalists, intimidating us so we don’t go there.”

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

Instead of reading the news today I spent a magical afternoon watching RSC’s amazing My Neighbour Totoro at the Barbican. Now I’m getting whiplash from returning to the real world. 🥴

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

Commercial fic writers submit to this! I’ve been working with a #WriteNow editor all this year and it’s been simply amazing! You won’t find a better opportunity out there.

[Penguin Books UK @PenguinUKBooks]

@lucytc_writes Haha yeah the whole place felt like being in a movie!

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

Last week in writing R&D I went walking in Borrowdale in the Lake District (first time!) and found an actual fantasy woodland.

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

@MatthewP_C Ahh I will put those on my list, can’t wait to go back!

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

A bunch of my WIP Grace Weaver is set in a forest just like this one, so it was really helpful to see! 🌳

[Ben Williams @benjwilliams_]

They call them Celtic rainforests as they get an unusually high amount of rainfall and they look amazing! I never thought England could look like this (excuse the shaky cam)
