Well, the bird app appears to be broken tonight...🙄 🙄🙄
No DMs, only sending messages if you schedule them (even a minute in advance works), and tweetdeck is down.
Not great for the creatives at all...😬
However, on the plus side, I may actually go and do some writing instead.🤣
Same here - and DMs are broken too. If you schedule them, even a minute in advance though, they will go...
it's not great...
@UKHamlet Absolutely agree!
It's interesting as well (well, it is to me) that those are nearly 100 years old but don't really read like it...I have to admit that, on first reading I didn't pick up on that.😳 There are kind of hints to the almost formal style of writing of the time, but it could equally have been written by someone today on social media looking for controversy by harking back to "olden days writing"
It is rather reflective of the time and culture that they were conceived in!
@UKHamlet Either way, interesting to read, thanks, I'd not seen these before... even if I think that this kind of "gatekeeping" is entirely morally ambiguous at best, and artificially genre-limiting at worst. Good detective books are good detective books, rules or no.
Good luck with the critique!
