For a writer, this has gotta be the way to go, right? “On 8 June 1870, Dickens had another stroke at his home after a full day's work on Edwin Drood. He never regained consciousness.” Courtesy Wikipedia

Probs the only one still here AND weird enough to read 19th century novels for fun but just discovered Grub Street! My oh my!! Exactly everything we writers suffer now - mass market v art, sales, readership, reviews, impoverishment, infighting, trolling. Who’s up for discussing?

Hey #journorequest I’m looking for an “I had norovirus really badly” case study preferably living in Hampshire or Dorset in the UK. Can anyone help me?

Would anyone be happy to have a short chat with me for a piece I'm writing for The Sunday Times about people changing career in their fifties? #journorequest

I’m on a writing course to try to improve. I would like to give my full attention. But I work full time. I have two teenagers, horse, dog, house, husband. This week my mum has been in hospital. My father-in-law is also unwell. Nobody lives close. And … and … please send help 🙈

Lovers thrown close, yet worlds apart. 1813. Birdie chooses Danny over home, following him into the king’s army and onto foreign lands. As they march on the enemy, competing loyalties and brutal conditions work against young love. Will they reunite and escape the shadow of war?

Hello 👋 would love to meet more writers of historical fiction. It’s my genre. I’ve had some success with short stories + flash, and am developing a novel set in 1813 - Bernard Cornwell-esq but with a women’s lens applied. I’d love to follow fellow writers! #HistoryWritersDay24

If you want to feel like you’re winning again, strip wash and redo your bed. If that doesn’t make you the hero of your own story - nothing will!

I've been saving this one, David Butler's (David Butler 🇵🇸) story, 'Between Silences'. David is a master of the short story, and this eerie tale is a fine example of his work. You can also watch my interview with David in our Writer to Writer section! frazzledlit.com/p/between-sile…

Frankfurt is a weird time for writers; it can feel like everyone is getting 6 figure deals (they’re not!). To do something for those who aren’t yet at that stage, I’m offering a free critique of your first 10k words & synopsis (fiction only) - to enter RT by midnight Sat! 📚✍️

Finally ‘X’ has realised I’m interested in posts about writing, and writers. Hooray! But now my whole feed is people signing and bidding wars and auctions. Just letting X know that I’d also like struggle, doubt, woe, setbacks, rejection … mysterious algorithm please rebalance???
