S6 Ep1: Setting Targets (or 'Own Goals' as Jon likes to call them) Podcast Episode · The Failing Writers Podcast · 6 April · 1hr

If any Paragraph Planet folk are not following the @failingwriters.bsky.social podcast, this is an ideal time to start. The excellent and funny Tom & Jon discuss writing goals, plus I attempt to string sentences together in an interview about Paragraph Planet podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Paragraph Planet. A beautiful little corner of the internet. Writers… check it out.

Is it touring Tim? Would love to see this 👻 . I really enjoyed Driftwood.

Jon’s been busy! If you’re anywhere near Otley on the 29th of May… come and meet renowned couple therapists Prof. Robert and Dr. Veronica Stenk, bringing you a live lecture on how to be the perfect couple.
What could possibly go wrong? 😁

Chuffed to bits to be short listed for small press of the year.

All the best to our fellow nominees and thanks to the judges too!!

Well, that’s the last episode of the season released into the wild.

Thanks to everyone who has listened this year. We’ve had some amazing guests, have loved our outings like our poetry night and jaunt around Edinburgh. Hope you’ve enjoyed them too. Have a great Xmas and see you again in 2026!

👍 @scrivenerapp.bsky.social is top notch. You won’t regret it, Anthony.

More Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 shenanigans this week with the brilliant, genre-eschewing @dougjohnstone.bsky.social. We caught up with him in the Holyrood 9A for a pint and a fascinating natter… check the link int’ bio

It’s so important to somehow FIND TIME TO WRITE. Not suggesting you necessarily do a @michaelpedersen.bsky.social - but hope this serves to remind you to grab a bit of time this week for a scribble!
Boop our bio to hear more from this remarkable human…

Easy on the reins of the heart – it’s National Grief Awareness Week 2025. New grief, old grief, the anticipation of grief, the shouldering or witnessing of grief, grief by proxy, by package, by post. What a thing it is is love, miss, & to mourn. Here’s a new wee piece I’ve been tinkering with 💜💛🖤.

Supremely chuffed to see Muckle Flugga named as Irvine Welsh’s Novel of 2025 in The Observer.

‘told in a poet’s lush but drum-tight voice…as arresting as an airport thriller’ 💜💚🥰💚💜.

Just finished reading 1 of our absurdly talented listener’s books - @stgenevieve.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed this marvellously well observed, funny, and life affirming book!
And what’s this… you little tinker. You gave us an acknowledgement!
❤️😍
Well done! Bloody brilliant!

Amazing book.
