Is there such a thing as a 'nice' rejection? If so, I had one yesterday. Here's my local arboretum to cheer us all up. We go again.... #thiswritinglife #photography #magnolias #trees

#MomentsOfCalm this morning. A few of the under one hundred words composed (and subject to change) while sitting up in bed with sleeping wife, dogs and a cuppa :)

Is it just me, or do any other list makers add 'to do' points to their list when they've already completed them, but forgotten to list them in the first instance? So you can have the sublime joy of ticking them off? 😚 Perhaps I need to get out more? #thiswritinglife #writers

A table on a train with a tablet and keyboard. The tablet has a latex script on it, and there is a paper copy on the table with redlining on it
Another day out by rail, so having yet another go at getting the new Discontinuous Electrification (DE) and battery trains section of the #OLEBook right. I think I'm on the home stretch now! #thiswritinglife

It's that first line, 'I rather enjoyed writing this poem ...between re-grouting the shower.' #Thiswritinglife

So, I 'only' swam 36 lengths today, not 40. At Ist 😥, but I've been thinking & you know what, if you were 'only' longlisted, sent a personal rejection, encouraged to send a diff poem/story/novel it's not a failure, it's a step! #You'repartwaythere #Takethewin #It'sajourney #thiswritinglife

Interior view of a train carriage table with biscuits, water and an android tablet with text related to batter trains. Out of the window a blue and pink sunrise is happening
Having a day out meandering down to Cornwall - a good opportunity to get stuck in to the next version of the #OLEbook and a big new section on discontinuous electrification and battery trains. #ThisWritingLife

There’s a place I walk the dogs which oftentimes inspires my writing. Paper & pencil in pocket is essential. These notes equate to 172 words & set up the next chapter…

The late 1980’. Early summer. A quiet stretch of river in the countryside. It’s about to kick off.

It's not coming in a whoosh but rather, little bursts. Then I edit, tweak, read, re-read. In my head, out loud. Nothing is added to the #wip until I'm happy #MomentsOfCalm

Fresh from my head today, a snippet from the latest #MomentsOfCalm chapter (102; The Riverside Cafe).
Our lads are on a serious mission, but easily distracted!
