      Weens As an unpublished writer, I found this fascinating. If I ever do secure that elusive contract, at least I'll know what to look out for.

    Buddhist On A Bus
    "Buddhist On A Bus" commented on The WordCloud's Blog "Self- Editing Your Novel 6 Week Online Course from The Writers' Workshop".
    As someone who was on the previous self-editing course, I can safely say DO IT! I've learned so much and made some new online friends too, many of whom I'm looking forward to meeting in York in September. Hopefully by then I will have put my new ...

    A funny coincidence - my morning spam email from amazon was for Harry's book... I opened it up and was just a little confused to see 'Buy Harry Bingham's How to Write' advert, along with 'Also by this author...' underneath, and wondered if I'd ...

    HOW TO WHITE - I thought the book was about laundry: how to get your whites whiter than white. I may need a copy. My whites are shockingly dull. Re, being colour co-ordinated - judging by the grin, I think Harry's pants are bright yellow ... and I ...

    Oh - and it's now official. We've had 'undreds of responses. The first twenty-five lucky ones have been informed. Everyone else (give or take) has had a sorry-not-your-day email. Thanks to everyone for being so keenly supportive. You're a good ...

    Barb - thanks to you, I did in fact get a cup of tea. Gerry - yes of course, it does say HOW TO WHITE. It's basically about brilliant whites, off-whites, soft whites &c. It's got nothing to do with writing at all. And Whisks - colour co-ordinated ...

    And he's colour-coordinated himself with the books. Now *that's* what I call proper attention to detail. One thing worries me - he must be wearing yellow somewhere, or my theory falls to bits.

    Bren: I'm not sure it does say HOW TO WRITE - there's a flash of light over two letters. Could be HOW TO WHITE (a decorator's guide?) HOW TO WAITE (Terry Waite impersonator's manual?) Judging from Harry's expression, I'd say he's playing some sort ...

    Dear Word Cloud - Have you any idea, please, why the 'View All' on my Wall Posts page has disappeared? I want to clean up my wall by deleting old posts and things are not working as they used to.

    Happy New Year!

    Hi, Word Cloud! I have posted a link to you on my new website http://gerryfenge.com/ (It's at First Things First> Links) and this is how it reads.

    The Word Cloud

    You know the writer's paradox? You write to reach others but spend your time with a word processor. Well, here's the antidote. Swop ideas, chat, critiques, grumbles and fun with other writers. Lifts the spirits. Lifts the standards. Click on:- http://www.thewordcloud.org/

    Hope you like it!

    The answer: I dunno, Whisks, that's a fascinating question, I shall have to apply due diligence superbrain to invent the answer. Wonder what it is? Thanks for asking, though :)

    Dear Sir Cloud, I'm a confused whisk. Perhaps you can, er, diffuse me? The new "Who's online" at the bottom RH corner doesn't match the old "People online" in the LH mast. Que? What's it all mean? Thx

    Nice work. Mint sauce with that, please - extra acidic vinegar. They were setting up for some serious spammery. Or hadn't realised they were only posting on their own profile and not Cloud community blogs.
