A good friend in California Sent out 45 queries over many months to #literaryagents for her novel. And she just got asked for the full script by one! Keep at it fellow writer Rottweillers! #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife #books #writing

#Quilt my oldest,dearest friend from #Canada (home of the free!) made for me. Quite something isn't it? #happymonday, #writing community #writing #writers life #amwriting

This man is WILD! #willself rips out your funny bone and chews it to oblivion. Just keep a #dictionary on hand. Highly recommended. #books #blueskybooks #writingcommunity #writers #amwriting

And in London. Just Blue blue blue.

I would hope they would show a little respect for the poor relatives and all Jews before attacking the homeland of Jews with an angry protest. Many Jews hate what is happening in Gaza too. Respect is needed on both sides.

Hardly. And by the way Israel and Jewry are pretty well one thing. Ask any Jew. That doesn't mean all or even many Jews support what is happening in Gaza. Most do not. But most love Israel. Even as they condemn her actions. This is an esoteric and irrelevant argument

Now that is some twisted logic. You know people only understand slogans. They should have cancelled it out of respect

Unfortunately people will show up thinking they are supporting peace. Very sad.

And unfortunately now a typical day in the world we live in.

Amen

If the protesters had any shame they would hold off their protest to show they do not support terrorism. They look like they support killing Jews. Hatred is not the answer. But people are reveling in it.

I do not understand. Why are people out in the street right after the Manchester killing unless THEY are linking their protest to this killing. It looks horrific

Amen.

That is incredibly naive.

If they are peaceful....why are they coming out just after 2 Jewish related deaths? They seem to be celebrating. Everyone should condemn this violence

I cannot believe the pro Palestinian protesters are coming out after 2 deaths at a synagogue. What? They are heralding violence? I thought they were against violence? I agree it is not binary.

How about that. Just on a London tube and seated were: 3 people reading #BOOKS, 10 staring into space or on headphones. Only THREE on their phones. A quiet revolution.? #writingcommunity #writerslife

Writer #WillSelf is a riot. Take this description of an #Anglican church out of his #book Liver: "with their tepid air of state assisted piety". And the #Catholic : "musty battlefields where lust and repression fought it out, in the process of torturing wooden effigies". #writingcommunity #writing

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Enough of the mad orangutan. Time for #Goodbooks! Oldie but goodie this one. @marksarvas.bsky.social presented this in class as a good eg. Of subtext. Writers take note. #writingcommunity #writing #amwriting #writerslife #blueskybooks

I can't believe the brits would do that. But so the polls show.

Cutting funds, controlling material....Trump does not want children educated to think for themselves. #writingcommunity #education #trump

#richardrusso writes people like noone else. A few sentences and I care about them. An artist! #writing #writingcommunity #books #greatbooks #writerslife #blueskybooks

Perfect novel sentence - 'He and Paula had been married for 30 years, thanks in large part to a mutual willingness to let an arched eyebrow do the heavy lifting of a soliloquy." #richardrusso in Trajectory. #writingcommunity #amwriting #perfectsentence #writing #greatbooks Got to 😍

Love these #pictograms at #Japanhouse in #London. They've ruled!! from hieroglyphics to the #Olympicgames to #emojis. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerscafe

Where are all the children? And the parents? I was at a fairground in #hampsteadheath yesterday and hardly any of the rides had kids. Are fairs passe? Beaten out by computer games? So sad. #writingcommunity, #kids #amwriting #fun #writerscafe

#Bookerprize nominee? This is far from Percival Everetts best book. I feel the Booker is now more about politics than excellent writing. Yeah? Nay? #writingcommunity #books #booksky #writing #bookprizes
