If I'd been born in the fifteenth century, they would've accused me of being a witch.

Lover of books, music, cats & the unusual. Not necessarily in that order. Writer, reader & librarian with an eye twinkle.

THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD X NEVERNIGHT CHRONICLES

JAPONICUS REID is complete at 98000 words and is my debut fantasy novel.
It is the first book in a revenge trilogy exploring how trauma, love and power can be manipulated and exploited.

See pics for details...

Every time I wonder what the point of me is, I'm going to knock on the door of my rebellious streak and ask it if it wants to come out and play

Decisions...
Do I submit my short stories to various publications etc
OR
Do I publish them on my own blog & try to build up a supportive #WritingCommunity where I also offer new writers the opportunity to post their own stories & share #Editing/ #Proofreading opportunities etc
Details TBC

Thoughts?

Being a creator will always be harder than being a critic. But in the end, creators change the world.

Last 290 word push... although I probably need about 800 words! And there I was wondering how I could stretch this particular story idea to 4000 words...

Need to finish a short story by the end of next week. Not even nearly there and not sure it's working, but can't change it now I've submitted the idea. Have lots of other stuff going on. Am acutely aware of the seconds dying away. Cant write with so much pressure. Send help...

Anyone else picked up a book that professed to be a standalone only to learn that it is the second book in a seven book series that hasn't been finished yet? And then, after reading said series backwards, find out that it actually follows a trilogy?

Found this pic for my daughter's next project and couldn't read it without singing and adding an OI! at the end of the first line after John.
