As if you need any more convincing that Embra’s *the* place to write, I’ve written a wee blog for @writers_hq to try to sweeten the deal. Link for booking on the first retreat on June 9th at @TribePorty in there too. https://t.co/Nf9DuysyKv

I’m not very active on here anyway and now don’t really feel the need to be. I won’t be deleting my account but probably going for a fresh start on Bluesky. Same username there if you want to follow there instead.

@MeldrumAllison Can’t wait to meet you! You won’t be the only newbie there 😃 See you tomorrow! ✍️☕️🍪

[Ross Maclean ON BLUESKY @ross_maclean]

I’ll be on @BBCRadioScot with @GrantStottOnAir from about 3.40pm to to talk tornados as I review Twisters. The film, not the ice lollies.

Lunch is served. Writing is hard work and needs to be rewarded!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

And we’re off! Lovely bunch of writers at today’s Edinburgh @writers_hq Retreat at @TribePorty. Projects and goals have been discussed. It’s gone all quiet apart from the soothing tap-tap-tap sounds from writers hard at work.

[Writers' HQ @writers_hq]

What's the best way to write thousands of words in a single day? The famous Writers' HQ real life one day writing retreats!

Let’s make it a sell-out (like Taylor 😂)!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

It’s almost time for lunch!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

Amazing bunch of writers at today’s Edinburgh WHQ retreat at a very sunny @TribePorty. Projects and goals have been discussed. Let’s get writing!!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

I got the lovely bunch of tulips from one of the regular attendees. Made my day 💛💐

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

There are only a few places for this Sunday’s Edinburgh @writers_hq Retreat at @TribePorty. Come and write with us! Last month was a sellout, so don’t leave it too long to grab a ticket. https://t.co/DhPBugC2vA

[Ross Maclean ON BLUESKY @ross_maclean]

I’ll be on The Afternoon Show on @BBCRadioScot with @GrantStottOnAir and @SiobhanSynnot just after 1pm, having a chat about the career of Danny Boyle. A perfect day, I’m sure you’ll agree. Tune in!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

@prize_novel Thank you!

[Veronique Kootstra @vkootstra]

Nothing like the buzz/panic of submitting just minutes before the deadline. But I did it!

[Cheshire Novel Prize @prize_novel]

Last call! Good morning! Last day to enter prize novel 2024. We close at midnight tonight -Wednesday into Thursday - and so you still have time before we close. Everyone gets feedback and you only need 5000 words and a synopsis to enter. We can’t wait to read your work!
