FanCityKnits 🇺🇦🧶Hello from the most northern part of the black forest (knitter, crocheter, spinner and fledgling weaver)
@FanCityKnits Hi, I was visiting just a couple of weeks ago Schwand area, very beautiful and so hot! Nice to meet you.
Kathleen Jones@suehewit Hi Sue. I'm a writer, keen allotment holder, living in Cumbria. Good to meet you.
@KathyJones Good morning Kathy, nice to make contact. What genre do you write in?
@suehewit a bit of everything - biography, fiction, poetry. What about you?
@KathyJones just the one novel in 2014, self published on the dreaded Amazon and a couple of short stories in a local lit/arts magazine. I did start another follow on as book was quite well received by readers but my writing needs really thorough line edits and so on and that’s a huge outlay.
@suehewit Yes, getting feedback is really hard. Do you belong to a writers' group? The other idea is to get a 'writing buddy' and agree to read each other's work and suggest edits, though you really have to trust someone! I'm luck to be well established, but I remember how hard it was starting out.
@KathyJones I was in a writer’s group for a while and found it helpful until the dynamics changed. I engaged a professional editor for the novel, she was great and we worked really well together but it’s a big financial investment which takes a long time to recoup from royalties. Still, I’m really happy to have achieved a long held ambition to write, publish and even get some good reactions.
Brenda@suehewit Welcome Sue. I post mostly about gardens. But in winter I do lots of knitting and crocheting as well. Cheers.
@RadiantPie Good morning Brenda, your garden pics are inspiring, my garden has grown out of control this year, like a jungle … work garden is looking pretty good though.

Cazimodo Creative@suehewit Welcome 🙂 Fellow Scot here.
@CazimodoCreative hi 👋 nice to meet you.
@suehewit I see you wrote a novel. That takes some doing 🙂 What was it about?
@CazimodoCreative It’s centred around two old ladies, it’s about friendship, family, a cunning woman from ancient times, archaeology, an ancient gold cup, stone circles, belief (or not) …. thanks for asking.
@suehewit That sounds like an interesting story 🌹
