    What a fun Quentin Blake illustration. Ok, fess up, which book couldn't you finish? Me? Ulysees by James Joyce.... though I did plough through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Still don't have a clue what it's about!

    The tiniest book in the world!

    That accolade goes to a teeny-weeny Old King Cole (1985, Gleniffer Press) - here alongside the ABC for comparison... At 0.9mm high (!!!) the nano-nursery rhyme is spread across 12 single pages, and printed on the finest 22 gsm English paper.

    Happy everyone! I’m so thankful for people who encouraged me to read and feel at home in libraries 📚 Here’s me with my own two contributions: stories of outdoor adventures, second chances and real friendship 📖

    Writing is an adventure. Adventures are not always comfortable, not always easy, and they will push you to your limits and beyond. Adventures aren’t for the faint of heart, or the lazy. They’re for the strong. Good luck, fellow adventurers!

    And in six years I've not been able to figure out a satisfactory explanation for that. Maybe I'd skipped breakfast that morning and had a ravenous look in my eyes, like I'd snaffle the lot. Maybe he thought I'd do something stupid like choose plain over jam. I'll never know.

    We bought doughnuts this week and it got me thinking back to that time in a previous job when there were doughnuts in the office and a colleague (who I didn't know very well) pulled me aside from the team to have a conversation in hushed tones where he urged me to 'be sensible'

    However bad things are, at least I can be thankful I’m not this strawberry plant, being marketed in 2021 under the unfortunate name Korona.

    The NEMOROSITY of an area of land is its woodedness, or the extent to which it is covered in trees.

    I don't know how to feel after a year in shielding. So this. Thread Are you reeling at the feeling Waiting in sorrow for the healing Are you alive with news of hope Or lost in bonds of lockdown lows Dancing to horizons of light Or curling into remains of the night 1/5

    This is great advice, writers, and applies not just to the beginning of a story or novel but to the beginning of any writing 'session' when we're so anxious to 'start right' that we don't start at all 😭😭😭

    Writing tip from editor and mentor Write A beginning, not THE beginning and then move on. When you finish and you've grown to really know your story, then go back and rewrite the actual beginning. It will be all the stronger.

    Took the day off to do some DIY. Didn't take any before or after photos, so if you could all just picture a home transformation of dramatic and beautiful extent, that'd be great, thanks.
