💯 agree with this👇
Unsolicited writing advice from someone who's just regained their writing mojo:

Stop worrying about the market. Just write something you think is fascinating.

If you can, distance yourself from people who sap your confidence about your writing and yourself.

Celebrate every achievement.

Finally got to visit the fabulous Criminally Good Books in York, and it is every bit the world of crimey magic I'd hoped it would be... and more! I even got to sit in the authors' chair.
They now have a signed copy of Banquet of Beggars, so you'd best rush on down there to snaffle it for yourself!

Absolutely thrilled to see Eddie in the window of the wonderful @imaginedthings.bsky.social in Harrogate!!! Thank you for such a warm welcome! And what amazing company to be in!
