Der Kleine Häwelmann (the little Havelman) is a German bedtime story written by Theodor Fontane in 1848. It’s about a boy who uses his night shirt as a sail and his crib as a cart to travel to strange places.
That crying moon used to freak me out 😆

Revisiting an old manuscript and the characters feel like old friends… does anyone else sometimes reread their own writing just to be with those people again?

Breastfeeding supposedly saves you £15 a week because you don’t spend money on formula….
What’s not been considered there though is how much you spend on chocolate and cake instead 🍰 🧁 🍫 👶

I just love it when you dig out a manuscript you haven’t touched in 5 years and two things are true:
1) it’s actually not bad 😃
2) it’s suddenly right on reading trend 🤩
watch this space, folks!

I feel so seen, especially when I’m on deadline and cleaning the gap under the skirting board with a knitting needle…

“Is there no gold in these mountains?”
He gives her a look, then, that sets her on edge.
“No gold,” he says finally. “Nothing at all.”

Sadly, she wasn’t into it… knowing that, the image takes on quite a deeper level of meaning when it comes to what victory is and how it is celebrated.

My third manuscript has received its first rejection… I am floored! After two novels out, I forgot that terrible feeling 😳
Then I remind myself that I had 64 rejections before I first got #published. You have to soldier on!
My heart goes out to all the #authors out there querying. Keep at it!
