Well here’s a thing.
          	
          	Stitches in Time has been pirated and is being sold on Google Books for 7p.
          	
          	7p! Bloody cheek.
          	
          	I’ve seen this happen to other people’s books but I thought I was a long way off from it being worthwhile to steal my work. 
          	
          	I appreciate every one of my genuine gang of readers. You are all awesome. Treat yourself to a biscuit.

@ConsciousRoyal So many scammers on here. The very first time I posted my ONC first chapter they started coming in. "Promote your story," "I can do artwork" "What's your wattsapp." They don't even bother to read it. It's sickening

          	  I also have just had a “you are a brilliant writer can I make your story into an anime” scam
          	  
          	  Nice of them to ask. Some people just take it!

Hey gang,
          
          I’m currently pitching for inclusion in a Fantastic Detective anthology. 
          
          My short story is about a detective hired to investigate the disappearance of a baby. Except the baby has been switched with a changeling.
          
          Some of you are much more familiar with faerie fiction than me. Any advice?
          
          Cheers!

          I look forward to receiving my prize money.
          
          Wait? What?
          
          My sticker. I meant my sticker.

Have you read Ghosted by @roxilou yet?
          
          A clever rom-com about a woman being “guided” in love by the ghost of a one-night stand.
          
          It’s very silly, very funny and really sweet.
          
          Go read it now.
          
          Already read it? Well done. Reward yourself with a biscuit.

@ConsciousRoyal Thanks for reading it and the support, and the mini review here. Can I also have a biscuit?

I drove headfirst into a cul-de-sac with my story Stitches In Time and have deleted the last couple of chapters. All of the tension between Isaac and The Mysterious Blonde evaporated when then finally met. 
          
          Thankfully, in a story about time travellers unravelling time I think it’s perfectly acceptable to travel back in time and unravel the thread.
          
          Wait, I’ve switched methaphors….
          
          Many thanks, as always, to @n0nsense_verses for helping indentify the 
          point where my plot came off the road. (and we’re back in the car trip metaphor)

@alwaystired01 oh sorry! No I’m alive! - just the story that needed reversing out of the metaphorical cul-de-sac.

@ConsciousRoyal YOU HAD ME SO WORRIED THEN!  Well, I'm glad you're alright and sometimes stories go off the rails. That's what editing is for! Revision time!

@paleverse Yeah. It drained all tension, and I couldn’t see what to do about it. The last couple of chapters have been a struggle to write. 
            I’ve abandoned multiple projects in the past but this one I want to see the end of. Rewriting it is the only way I can do it.
