Time to put a face to the name! 👋
I’m Amber Bristow - writer, rewriter, and soon to be deep in the trenches of the literary agent search.
Feeling excited (and a little terrified). Wish me luck!

What writing has taught me this week:
1. If a sentence makes me feel clever, it probably needs to be cut.
2. Pacing improves more from what I remove than what I add.
3. The first draft is for me - the edit is for the reader.

What writing has taught me this week:
1. Stopping mid-chapter makes it easier to pick up the flow the next day
2. Skim the last chapter before writing, not just the last few lines
3. Let messy dialogue land - worry about perfecting it later

I spent all of yesterday reading in the sun, and wow did I need it. It's the first time in months I’ve felt truly reset after a weekend. It’s a luxury, I know, but if you can carve out the time, I couldn't recommend it more ☀️ #booksky #5amwritersclub

No outline, no direction, just pure wordy chaos until something finally clicks and a plot takes form. Who's with me?
... here's hoping this isn't the moment I realise I'm just unorganised 🫠
