When you give your cartoonist pal an idea for a cartoon, he draws it beautifully, adds an extra gag, it gets published in Private Eye and he gives you a thankyou credit for it...
Now accepting offers for further work as "muse" ❤️👀🤩

Podcast thing. Shout out to the cast: Emma Clarke, Beth Chalmers, Chris Pavlo & Helen Goldwyn, with extra kudos to Ms Clarke for reading a poem that would make my stomach knot if it were me, plus it would have to be at gunpoint (no YOU'RE repressed and uptight, SHUT UP)

I know you're not all that interested but I thought I'd announce in advance the new logo for my podcast & explain that apparently a picture of a drawer handle - the old logo - was considered insufficient to inform listeners of its subject matter. So yes, there we are. And purple is better than teal.

These fellas. The latest episode may be audio only but these are the faces that go with the voices. Give it a like or a share if you're a writer or writer-adjacent. (Did I mention it's a podcast about writers? It's a damn fine one, and a unique format) Aaanyway... offcutsdrawer.com/louise-candlish

Apparently posted without irony. You'd think an account about writing would care about things like grammar, spelling and good ol' making sense. The Quantum of Mence though - 007 finally embracing women's reproductive issues? 👏👏👏
