Last night I started watching Wildlife on @BBCiPlayer. It's very melancholic, and suited my mood. Based on a book by Richard Ford which I'm about to buy Having read Ford's The Sportswriter, I know that the film's sadness will be multiplied 10x in the book #WritingCommunity https://t.co/RitpYRCyDA

Listened to another thoughtful @hattiehattie #podcast Contrary to many, David Nicholls (One Day, Sweet Sorrow) was quiet, fascinating, & honest, saying he had no idea for his next book & was anxious about it Recorded in 2019 - hopefully, he's got an idea now! #WritingCommunity

** plot spoiler ** Anyone read Light Years by James Salter? This is p203 and includes the line in 1st person 'I wish it could have been otherwise.' This feels like Salter's opinion - I think it works in that it adds great emphasis. Anyone agree / disagree? #WritingCommunity https://t.co/atM3HgK7Rz
