i was waiting for this to happen after an email exchange I had last week. Can we please not do this? It serves no-one.

comic books are real books, audio books are real books and children become lifelong readers when they're encouraged to read what they like

@Hinton15CVL Hey! Not too bad. Busy. Still no dates on when libraries will be able to open rooms up to groups again. You good?

Harsh writing advice: Nobody needs harsh writing advice right now. Life is more important than work.

@Nigelh7n @DarcyLinWood Sorry not been on Twitter much this year, or interacting with humans (or writers for that matter). I'm surviving and have some projects and plans, but I'm using my house move as an excuse not to start any of them yet. You doing ok?

[Mark Bateman @MarkWriting]

@DarcyLinWood I don't believe for a second that anyone needed the word Disco expained to them. My son has school discos - pretty sure they all do. It worries me that I remember being in college & not liking the young people's use of Lush. Evidently I'm too old to even like the old slang

This can't be real...

Want to feel old? Here are some ‘old-fashioned’ words that millennials have never heard of.

What's your favourite Doctor Who double entendre? 😮

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

@GrahamH85027233 @RachelRileyRR Oh yes: it's in the Bible, and survives in phrases like 'ill-gotten gains'. I like 'gotten' - it implies more of a progression.

@SeaOfThieves Hey @Darksoth86, I feel like this might be me? Is it me?

[Mark Bateman @MarkWriting]

@DarcyLinWood If my job is anything to go by, my guilty reading pleasure is clearly Instructions. As I appear to be one of the only people that does read them.
