Deadline is in three (3) days! Noses to the grindstone! Buckle down! No pain no gain! Hammer away! – and other hardworking metaphors about working hard: we want to hear from you about artists that you work on and their blood, sweat and tears (or hand, head and heart)

What a delight to be back on #InOurTime. Hear @Tom_F_Wright discussing Louisa May Alcott’s Transcendentalist childhood, me on her Gothic writing, and the inimitable Bridget Bennett asking Melvyn Bragg which of the Little women he is? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00245n…

Forget the November US el*ctions, securing A Flat Place’s victory is much more important than who’s the next president. Make @NoreenMasud book queen again
Do you, like everyone else with fine taste, love @NoreenMasud 's A Flat Place? Then vote for it and you won't find me lurking in your wardrobe and/or under your bed this spooky season!!! nationalbooktokens.com/reade…

Once again I am reminded that I have promised my skull to Noreen after my death because she asked. Initiative: if you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
