All emerging writers schemes should include writers over 40 – writers can emerge at any age, and women writers especially are frequently prevented from taking up writing until later in life (as we well know)! theguardian.com/stage/article/…

Last chance to buy my latest queer little novel for 99 pennies and upset the reviewer that cried about there being 'too many gays' in my books. amzn.eu/d/04IkLOsS

I've just ordered a pair of those walking trousers with a zip to make them into shorts. What has become of me? @DavidNWriter I'm blaming you.

I would like to note that although no Olympians visited my school, we did get a visit from Bernard Matthews, an ex-pupil. 😬

Now I can barely walk I really miss going on the beach & paddling. #Disabled people - do you know of any hotels/beaches somewhere sunny that have beach walkways and beach wheelchairs to hire so I can be wheeled into the sea? Hope my dream can be a reality. Scope #beach #travel

Would highly recommend watching American Fiction on a rubbish, overnight flight. Don't think my neighbours minded me chuckling away too much.

Given that I have had to make this note on about 5 manuscripts in the past couple of months, here is a public service announcement for unpublished authors. You cannot use song lyrics without permission from the copyright holder, and you may well be asked to pay for the rights.

Just read my second Elizabeth Taylor. God, how is it that I still have so many mid century women writers to read? Why wasn't I reading them when I was younger? She and Elizabeth Jane Howard are incredible.

Yeah, just looking at going by train to Edinburgh from Bath and um, over £300 return for kid and me? FFS. I love train travel but it's SUCH a rip off.

Ooh I love this lies and deception storyline in #TheArchers it has everything! Apart from sex... Ok, it doesn't have everything, but it's great!

One of the downsides of not having a book out for a while (2.5 years, hardly Donna Tartt) is that acquaintances ask if I'm 'still writing'. Today, I snipped, 'Yes, it's not a hobby.' So now I sound defensive and up my arse. Great.

Asking this for a friend - can anyone share any crime or thriller novels written on the back of MeToo? Examples written by men would be especially welcome as she’s finding it hard to find examples of books written by men
