Happy @ALCS_UK day!
Thank you, ALCS, for the great work you do. It's much appreciated!

@SWWJ Yes, an abstraction from his comments would suffice. The consultation period on the Bill has ended, but writers should write to their MPs if they haven't yet done so and feel aggrieved.

[Julie Ratcliffe @J_A_Ratcliffe]

@SWWJ I will be responding directly to the Minister. I think I'll say does it mean we can help ourselves to anything if we're 'training'?

[Julie Ratcliffe @J_A_Ratcliffe]

@SWWJ I wrote to my MP about this. He said he'd had simikar letters. He recently sent me a reply he got from the Minister. It's less than satisfactory as the Minister appears to be putting tech before creatives. I can send a copy to Barbara for the newsletter if needed?

@AnnCleeves @HarlanCoben Well deserved praise!

What better place to present a talk set in the Georgian era than a beautiful Georgian building. Last week, it was a Georgian marine villa (now part of the Harbour Hotel) in Mudeford. This week, Allendale House, East Dorset Heritage Trust, Wimborne

@womenwritersnet My friend @tracyfbaines has two series that I enjoy. They are so well researched that I find myself immersed in the times they are set. #WomenWritersNet

@womenwritersnet Q4- Free writing, or simply writing for no reason, such as a following a sudden inspiration. #WomenWritersNet

[Julie Ratcliffe @J_A_Ratcliffe]

@womenwritersnet A3 - It's a guilty pleasure that shouldn't make me feel guilty! # WomenWritersNet

[Julie Ratcliffe @J_A_Ratcliffe]

@womenwritersnet Q2 A good chance of no distractions or interruptions. A comfy chair and access to tea.
