Where can I go to write on Easter Monday?

Posted by iainaitch about 1 year ago
Last active 10 months ago 1 response

I have to write a lengthy and complicated article, which I will be doing on Monday and Tuesday. In normal circumstances I would do this in the British Library at King’s Cross/St Pancras—but the reading rooms are closed on Monday. Where would be a north or central-ish place for me to sit from 10am to abo...

How can I make a kick-ass media CV?

As is generally unsurprising in the media, I am about to become unemployed. I’m a second-jobber with a fairly good job history, but I need to make a CV to convince people of this and also that a raise would be a really justified option.

Hi I’m happy to say my first novel: “HEALING REX” has just been published. It’s a children’s book for kids between the ages of six and six hundred! What can I say? It’s a book about a dog, two very brave fleas…It’s kind of like “Inner Space” meets ̶...

Do men and women want different things from their sex writing?

I did something fairly entertaining this past weekend. While visiting the lovely town of Bath, I attended a workshop on writing about sex. Before you ask, no, Hustler magazine hasn’t decided to set up an office amongst Bath’s idyllic Georgian surroundings – although the year-round semi-nudity on show at the Roman ba...

Writing Group - Dare I use those hallowed words again?

Posted by pottytime about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 21 responses

We came, we wrote, we fizzled out. Perhaps it was the sun. Perhaps it was lack of direction. Perhaps it was the lack of sandwiches. Anyway – I’d really like to try again and, especially as autumn is not so much knocking at the door as wedging its shoe very tightly in the threshold, this seems an appos...

Have you heard of the Rooinecks?

Asked by pottytime 3 months ago for 1 kudos
Last active 3 months ago 1 response

This may sound a strange question and it’s one of those questions that if you don’t know, you won’t understand, if you see what I mean. Okay – I’ll try and explain. I used to belong to a writers’ club and for various reasons we decided to call ourselves the Rooinecks (if you...
