@ThompsonEirin @MarianJMyers 'never' not 'new'!

[Alison Wassell @lilysslave]

@ThompsonEirin @MarianJMyers I also had a cosy crime accepted yesterday! My first attempt at that genre. New struggled so much with a story in my life. Kept finding plot holes!

[Alison Wassell @lilysslave]

@MarianJMyers Last year I wrote two Christmas stories during the period between Christmas and New Year, and I really enjoyed it. Will probably do that again this year. Otherwise, I quite like a deadline.

[Alison Wassell @lilysslave]

Thrilled to have a story in here!
