Yeah I will write stuff and sub them very widely (often in a frenzy)! I would say this is NOT the way to do it! Often pieces I send out aren't quite there and I've closed many doors in my eagerness!

152 so far over here 😬 - this is my first full year in the short fiction game - blistering! 55 pending so will almost definitely reach the double ton.

😂😂😂

I am definitely co-opting spaffload into everyday vocab forthwith

It's a killer piece from you, Denise - loved it. Beautiful.

I paused at that bit too - so sparse, evocative, clear.

You're welcome - one of those stories where you know it's going to be a ride, but you're in safe hands. I had to go and get my socks from the other side of the room, Laura, do you know why? Because you blumin' knocked them off, that's why.

Uh, my lord, so good, so good @laurabesley.bsky.social

I know, blumin love to see it. Bin botherers... assemble!
