Let's play word association. Oasis... drugs...

True. Just been enjoying Alan Bennett Diaries' glorious book #TheUncommonReader. What's your own favourite short book or novella? #sizeisnteverything

Those clients who have had their feedback really appreciate the efforts taken!

In fact I think this may actually be a #Snort - from a favourite childhood #DrSeuss book which has aged better than most - but who knows which one?

This is so true! I did 80 feedbacks today and I may be slightly mad! Our readers read and then I read and then combine feedback in the document and thanks also to Norah Blakedon who has been helping me too! We have about 800 left to go out of 1980! Getting there folks!

Well, well. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my book about the history of women’s walking would fly so high. Huzzah little book! Enormous thanks to the independent bookshops who have stocked and supported, & all those who have bought-& often given-Wanderers. Thank you.

Nothing like changing your location when you switch from #writing to #editing, helps change your mindset from creative to analytical too.

I'm so proud of my writing buddy, editorial consultant and friend-for-ever @veewalkerwrites 🙏🌹 whose story #NiceDog is shortlisted for the prestigious BBC National Short Story Awards #BBCNSSA What an achievement! Super-enormous Congrats! CannyEdit Jericho Writers

Ooh là là! 1000+ entries from published novelists and CannyEditor @veewalkerwrites 🙏🌹 is on the shortlist of 5. Her 6,500 word short story #NiceDog will soon form part of a stunning anthology from Comma Press🍉 #CeasefireNow. #BBCNSSA #shortstories #chihuahua

For anyone craving pix of blue sky, sadly lacking in the Highlands this year. Love Ville de Nice, anyone else been?

So grateful to Kirsty Wark who came straight off a flight and into the BBC Scotland Glasgow studio to interview me (here in Inverness!). Much hilarity re 'messages-pisses'. Hear it on BBC Front Row tomorrow night from Glasgow, from 19.15, and #NiceDog at 15.30 on Thursday 19th.

Meanwhile, the author of this equally delicious fictionalised work, Paterson Joseph, aka the great actor Paterson Joseph, is about to read #DubitheChihuahua into life in an abridged version of #NiceDog, on BBC Radio 4 at 15.30. Can't wait! 📚 ed public relations #shortstories Cambridge ICE Centre for Creative Writing

So today's the day a #Chihuahua takes over BBC Radio 4, 15.30 UK time...

Loved this book. Children's authors from 1970s shaped my imagination.

Wow. So that's all five shortlisted #BBCNSSA #shortstories broadcast, an astonishing variety of themes and voices. Here's a link to the last, #GhostKitchen by Ross Raisin. I can't order food by courier here in the wilds but if you can, and do, listen! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Weekend chores sorted!
