I’ve been alternating between writing and chapter outlining. I do not recommend it. My brain is so angry at me

I’m not even a sci-fi or spy thriller girl usually. Not at all. But from the first page, The Ministry of Time had me hooked. I loved it. Omg.

"Disrupting" publishing by setting up yet another vanity publisher offering writers the 'chance' to have their work proofed (scraped), produced, published and distributed for a mere $5000 fee. Golly boys, you've struck a goldmine of fresh ideas there. Elon Musk-levels of innovation
Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

I have created a new starter pack of Black comic book creators. Of course, I don’t know everyone who has joined Bluesky so please let me know if there are names that need to be added.

I wonder if you have a novel on the go…that you’ve been nurturing for a while. I wonder if you’re a bit stuck and need a new strategy. If so, my Novel Surgery month might be of use to you. Runs online, Saturdays, Jan 16-Feb 9, 4-7pm UK time. Open to anyone in the world. Email me: leoneross@mac.com

Doing research and it’s like many readers need explanations and context for speculative/sci-fi elements in a novel, and other readers don’t care

Completed character profiles for my two main protagonists. Written two synopses and a plot outline and now moving into chapter by chapter outline. I like feeling excited about a new project 🤭 #WriterSky

Thinking about my book nonstop is the same as writing it, right?

When you’re writing a character you know is a fool and you get angry with that character because they’re a fool but you’re the one who made them a fool
