Social Interest Groups (SIGs) Are (Nearly) Here… not much longer now... 
-
There seem to be network problems with our server at the moment, connectivity is patchy. If the Colony becomes unavailable, you’ll find status updates on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
Upgrades completed.
Software upgrades today, may be some downtime
It is done
Apologies, everyone, but I’m keeping my head down atm finishing the SYNOPSES seminar. Not even taking calls. Will respond to mails etc when I emerge…
Let me know how you found the new Genius Room video feeds from today's live show, please!
This Sunday's live Pop-Up Submissions features special guest and developmental editor & authors' midwife… Tiffany Yates Martin! Plus Litopia own Ali Gardiner and submissions from Naima Diab, Heather Byrne, Sara O’Riordan, Philippa Ronan and Josephine Bruni Hope you can join us live!
Bit of an issue with the way we stream to YouTube, any thoughts welcome Sci-Fi | Pop-Up Submissions LIVE! Sunday 28th August
Can't disagree
Widening our streaming destinations for today’s Pop-Ups… adding Telegram, DailyMotion and LinkedIn
If there are any MySQL / MariaDB mavens lurking here, I wouldn't mind a quick word of advice…
Gave a quote for this piece about audiobooks… Do you agree? Yes, Audiobooks Count as Reading — And You Should Add Some to Your Reading List
The first rule of Pop-Ups is never do any post-production… cock-ups are part of the show. But I’m breaking that rule for tonight’s show, the submissions were not queued up correctly (dumb!) and I under-stated the number of Bram Stoker awards Lee Murray had won! Both now corrected, the show will be uploaded and have a new link in about an hour.
Feeling a lot better than I was on Sunday, thanks to everyone who helped me get thru the show! This Covid variant, altho’ relatively mild, has left me without much sense of taste or smell… which I’m REALLY annoyed by!
Inviting all Litopians to join us live tonight at 6pm UK for a YouTube premiere of “The Art of Wolf Brother”. For 18 years, Michelle Paver has collaborated with renowned artist Geoff Taylor on more than 300 illustrations for her series. But they’ve never met or spoken to each other! Tonight's premiere shows what happened when they finally met, a few days ago...
LBF madness nearly over, I will be back here in force next week
Completely impossible to understand YouTube’s algos. Yesterday’s show started with several C-words (my personal position is that I’m really not keen on C-words and F-bombs in submissions, but we respect authors’ rights of expression) and I was convinced we’d be demonetized or worse. But no, all is AOK. We’ve been penalized by them for far less.
And we’re back online again. Many apologies for the downtime!
Amidst all today’s gloom: three stately swans circled and expertly landed on the water, just in front of me; woodpeckers drilling morse code messages to each other; and spring has come to Regent’s Park. Enough to make me smile today.
Great white shark just spotted in UK waters… plus today’s hurricane Eunice… = Sharknado?
Writing is as much about the words you leave out as the words you leave in.
Will be in the Huddle from about 4:30pm today if you'd like to drop by and chat
Writers & computers… I want to spend a few mins talking about this in tomorrow’s Huddle. Computers should be our tools, not our masters. If your tech life needs simplifying, come along and take part!
Going down for upgrades in a moment...
May this new year bring all your heart’s desires to you, in abundance
Hard at work on the Writing Killer Synopses & Book Proposals live seminar for this Saturday. Booking info will be posted soon (as always, this will be free to Full Members).
Very pleased to say that Peggy will be coming home tomorrow evening. There is still a very long road ahead, we’re under no illusions. But she is nothing if not determined. And she’s been one of their star achievers, all the nurses / therapists have been hugely impressed. Thanks to everyone here for their understanding and support these past few weeks.
Colony will be down for upgrades soon. -
