Don’t mistake ACTIVITY for PRODUCTIVITY. Sometimes stepping away for a while is the best way to move forward. Take a walk, read a book, have a bath, give your brain time to do its magic.

I’ve been deep-dive researching a bunch of cool locations for my WIP to ensure I get all the details right, and now I’m being bombarded with ads for hotels and holidays in all these locations, in ‘preparation’ for my ‘upcoming trips’ 🙄🤦♀️ I wish! 😆 #writingcommunity #amediting

I did this course last year and it was so incredibly useful. I’ve since applied Sara’s editing techniques to all my writing. Definitely worth the investment! Plus, I met a wonderful group of writers who’ve become great friends & trusted beta readers #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Writing this WIP feels different and I think I’ve found out why. Tolstoy said there are only two stories: a hero goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town’. My novels are all the former, but this one is the latter. Such a different writing experience without the structure of a journey #amwriting

Started raining this afternoon after a long drought, so I ran out to wash the car to save on water. The neighbours thought I was mad. Please tell me I’m not the only person to do this?
