Pro tip: When you get stuck writing a story, read the original pitch you wrote back when you were trying to get your editor excited about the idea. All the answers are there!

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

The Deil had business on his hand…

We're up to our elbows here in juicy plots and seedy characters. Luckily there's not much pulp fiction. 🎃

Enjoyed talking to Cynan Jones and Anthony Shapland at @belfastfestival.bsky.social last night.
Jones talked about the moment when he took a 90,000-word historical novel, and cut 60,000 words in one go. Was that hard? "No, it felt great." The result was his 2014 novel The Dig.
