Calling all aspiring novelists!! #writing
#WriteCBC task from @unheimlichmanvr.bsky.social: Halloween is coming, so let’s introduce a spooky setting! The house lights dim, and the curtain rises on your location: where are we? What small details intrigue us in the opening lines? And why does it make us feel subtly uneasy?

For generations, fisherman have been pulling Roman pottery out of the sea off the coast of Kent near Herne Bay. The site has become known as Pudding Pan Rock, as locals used the ancient dishes to cook puddings in. It is thought that they originate from an ancient shipwreck #FindsFriday.

The other day, I did a countdown of the shop's bestselling books in 2024, but I know what you're wondering...
What about the shop AND the website combined?
Buckle up, kids.

Who are the two most important British novelists? Anyone can tell you that: George Orwell and Jilly Cooper. For trickier questions, watch the Orwellians v the Jillies in the Only Connect Books Special, 8pm BBC2.
(Not that much trickier. It is Christmas. Definitely a few that children can answer.)
