    Finished my revisions. Shredded the paper manuscript. Put in the compost. Compost will go on apple tree. Will make pie with the apples. Next year will literally eat my words.

    Don't hold back because a) you had some help last year or b) you don't fit the profile of "author" as in "has books in bookshops":- translators, scriptwriters, poets, all qualify. And the turn applications round really quickly, so help could be on its way.

    We're also open for repeat applications if you successfully applied last year and are still in urgent need of help. New & repeat applicants – apply here:

    Love this thread. Good for the doubting days 😊

    GENTLE WRITING ADVICE: Write at your own pace. Progress is progress, sometimes in inches, sometimes in miles. It’s okay that it’s hard. Other writers are cheerleading you on just as you cheerlead them because we all want our stories out in the world, told and heard. Not sorry?

    My husband just used the term ‘lamb harmonica’ in a sentence, if you want to know how we are still finding new things to talk about after a year of lockdown.

    ‘Night Rainbow’ by my friend . Pea is a character you won’t forget and perfect escapism from lockdown. So many great female writers though.

    Today, 12 children & young people will hear the news they have cancer. Just over 2 years ago that was my son. That’s why I've donated an item to the Good Books auction. There are lots of great bookish treats to enjoy! Visit to place your bid.
