Jews and Muslims in North Manchester: A personal story ‘We thought we were the luckiest people in the world to be born in Manchester’

Another exceptional, thought-provoking piece of writing from #themanchestermill.

This is exactly the kind of journalism we should be seeing after events like last week's heinous attack.

Another one I'm looking to work through out of time 😅 At this rate, I'll be doing more social media responding than actual editing

I'm super late to the game but I'm really intrigued by this! I hope you don't mind me working through this a little later

The big dyke takeover On the rise and rise of Diesel Dyke Club

Absolutely STUNNING article from Lucy Warm in the Manchester Mill yesterday. This publication has single-handedly rekindled my faith in journalism!

Hell yes, Hiria!! Excited to do #pretendpanel again (late, as always), so I'm dropping it here for the ease of future me

I'm looking to get back into teaching and would love to learn from anyone who has attended a creative writing course, class or workshop:

What were some of the most and least useful aspects of those sessions, for you?

Yus, this exactly! If we always stick to our comfort zone, the zone never grows 💜

I now have so many changes I'd like to make to my manuscript, it's probably going to be unrecognisable once I'm done.

Actually #editingmynovel is a steep ass learning curve!

Any #adhd, #autistic and #audhd #creatives got any hints and tips for being #productive?

I need a schedule to stay on track (and limit hyperfixation), but to make a schedule I must schedule time for making the schedule, which requires a working schedule. So I've been playing Cyberpunk 2077 instead.

Poor David. Now knowing what it's like to fill a house with that much smoke, I can't help but feel even more sympathy for him. He may come on a little strong, but he tryin! Now maybe if he tried paying more attention to what's going on around him...

I made these comics for Uni and they feel especially relevant for what's happening in the UK

I'm a trans person, we do so many other things than peacefully use public toilets but when that's all they focus on, they can't see that we're people

Can't get over how moody you look XD It's that concentration frustration. Damn I just love your work tho

Too pretty for his own good. Your lines always kill me

If you like surreal, short, bizarre walking sim type games, I collaborated with Freshly Baked Games to make a game based on some Red Vox stuff. They did a really amazing job with it. Plus, it's free!

The shadowed shape of a house cat (features indiscernible) looms towards the camera, dominating the frame. The feral beast (note: he is only feral when he wants pets, such as now) is silhouetted by barred beams of a streetlight pouring in between the blinds of the living room window, and a rainbow-lit keyboard (because the human inhabitants of the house are gay af).

Excuse me, that "thing" is a complex character: at times, a fresh and delightful sunflower (who resents your tone, btw); at others, a void.

Black cat wearing a cone. He has hayfever, so the flower cone is to stop his scratching his face.

Black cat. She has a curly tail? Always has, we thought she'd broken it as a kitten but no, as she got older it just got curlier and curlier

I have two cats in my house. One is elegant, the other is whatever the fuck this thing is. They're both arseholes.

I love them both equally 🖤

Ikr? What a palaver! The only petition I saw was to stop it coming in. I, too, would be interested in knowing if there is one to shove it back out

I FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT

I finished the first draft

Now to ignore it for a couple of weeks before I start ✨ e d i t i n g ✨

Update: Nothing. But also something.

I have received no answer, despite a couple of resends and waiting a respectable period between each. I think we can safely say we're not going to get anything back.

Which means that sadly I will have to move my work away from this app.

Ctrl + f "that", "was", "were" and "had been". Really interrogate whether those words are necessary. Sometimes they will be. Often they won't, and you can reword the sentences / clauses to shorter, snappier versions.

The prospect of marketing makes my toes curl

I don't care if I'm basically a fan account at this point, this painting is gorgeous. The details on those tattoos is chef's kiss. I am in love

How interesting!! I'll be on the lookout for this from now on

I think I've cracked it. I think the reason I'm having such difficulty writing this bit is because it's the end. Endings have always caused me issues

#writers #writingcommunity #audhd

Both! But I have two little void felines atm

I just have to share this. The latest version is also my phone's lock screen because... well, just Look At Him.

"Seeing who he is makes him so much more pretty to me"

Damn.

This is incredible! It's amazing how much more mature he's grown and yet how there's something inherently him throughout 💜

Great tip! I've done something similar and it's been really helpful up until now.

I'm at the ending now and I'm finding it very difficult to sit down and write.
