When I got the notification that the @notquitewrite.com Long List podcast was out, I assumed @quitewriteed.bsky.social was posting drunk again ... clicking the link was like winning the lottery. Should have the whole thing inserted into my cranium by the time F1 Australia starts. It's a dream day!
Does anyone know what happened to Luka? He lived on the second floor, but I haven't heard about him in a long time.
Attention writers on low income: winner @elisescott.bsky.social is stepping down from writing comps this year due to other commitments, and is offering their remaining annual pass to a person who needs the leg up.
If thatβs you (or someone you know) please email us to accept the generous offer!
And I'm all out of bubble gum
I wish I had got in on this :( I had this idea for a snot fetish ... did anyone use that?
MemorialRonBot will still be posting bad puns for future generations. Likely something about graveyard rock ... I'm sure they'll be bone tickling
I got one of those cat animals, and I feel like she likes the dog better than me. The whole dog/cat thing appears to be a lie. #ragdoll #pug
Well, it's in. I wrote a short story ... I scrapped it and let my subconscious write a story. I'm submitting that one to @notquitewrite.com . Went Team Ed! Sorry @akscotland.bsky.social

Hey @notquitewrite.com can't you just release the podcast in Canada today? It's cold up here and we're lonely! C'mon eh? A little bonus for Canadian listeners? A little advantage of a few days, hmm? Since your podcast started, there's been less fights in hockey ... could be Ed's soothing voice βΊοΈ
I love writing books!
