@Lucaswoodland @suzanne_young And it's no indication of talent. I reme,ber seeing an absolutely brilliant musician at a festival in the afternoon slot. Just our family of four in the tent, no one else. She was incredible and we watched the whole set but my heart went out to her.

'A competent short story will never get noticed. A polite level of writing won’t work. Short stories need to astound the reader and make them view the world in a different way.'

@damyantig Easy to say, hard to do but ignore. You don't have to read reviews or engage with them, especially ones written in spite or ignorance.

I'm teaching two new courses at Goldsmith's University London this summer, online, so anyone worldwide can join. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.

@MatthewWeait63 @OxfordConted Hi Matthew,
Good to read your welcome letter. I teach for OUDCESS and it is a highlight of my working year.

@cabbagelily @AnnaCollinson @BrockleyNordic @Daniel_Sloss I think it's fairly easy to answer. Non-predators take no for an answer. It's that simple. If she says, 'No thanks' or 'I'm just waiting for my friend' or 'Yes, I have a boyfriend' or 'I don't mix work and fun' or 'I'm busy' or 'I'm not interested' or 'F*ck off' you don't pursue.

Brilliant picture book for young children to help them understand the loss of a sibling.

Listening to this lovely Vox recording from the @rlfwriters makes me want to re-read Brideshead (yet again...) https://t.co/TWhZyAm0jC

@sullieship @RELish24 @BBCOne That would have been interesting @MrOwlHead. What you describe would have made it plausible but for him to drop his trousers and for her to go phwoar at the sight of how he's grown...Straying into Viz and Monty Python not psychological acuity.

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

@RELish24 @BBCOne I agree. Her trigger point wasn't some deep loss or neglect, but the sight of his willy! That is such a male reaction. I found it unbelievable - not rooted deeply enough in her psychological disturbance for it to be anything other than daft male fantasy.

@RochendaSandall
Absolutely mesmerized by your performance on Talking Heads last night. So subtle. So powerful.

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

@LAChandlar Very sad that a woman has to step down from a position of power within the industry because of men abusing theirs.

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

@TI_Media_UK I hope the writers whose talent you rely on have the good sense and self-worth to down tools until you restructure your T&Cs to give them the credit and respect they deserve.

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

@jennashworth @TheVelvetNap Well this could/should happen. That can't be hard to set up.

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

@jennashworth Late to reply Jenn, but yes. I miss being on the other side of the desk. Signing up for poetry classes this autumn, just to be free to experiment and learn and play. That's nurture, I think. Permission to play, given by teacher.

The third #EddyStone adventure is out now. Perfect holiday reading. An absolute hoot. Allegedly for children.

[Usborne Publishing @Usborne]

@authorscherry's latest is "another laugh-out-loud and highly imaginative story packed with brilliant jokes, knockabout action and a little heartwarming tenderness when you least expect it." Thanks for the wonderful review @PNorfolk_BookRe 🧞‍♂️📚 https://t.co/oRKoHjLcfQ

[Susannah Rickards @HotKitchenSnow]

Had a hoot of an evening at the launch of #SimonCherry 's third #EddyStone adventure. this time Eddy's dealing with a #meangeniescurse. Not to mention a tireless dancing camel and a doll with attitude.
Wine, cake and a lot of hearty laughs

[Becky Walker @Walker_Becky]

What a fabulously fun evening celebrating the launch of the tremendous third #EddyStone, from genie-uses @authorscherry and Francis Blake. Smiles galore, a spectacular cake and one very talented author / illustrator duo - go, Eddy!

@susie_dent @trebor_greene These are lovely. Can't we reintroduce them? Language is so flexible these days. So many neologisms springing up every day, we can sneak in a few archaisms back into everyday speech at the same time.
