Sometimes, you just know that the chapter you've just written is going to need some insane editing or just complete rewriting at some point. It's a first draft though so doesn't matter at this point! #writesky #booksky #amwriting #writingfantasy

Just attended an incredible talk by Ken Follet and Kate Mosse and got my 20 year old, fiercely loved copy of Labyrinth signed by the lovely Kate too! Very happy. 🥰🥰 #cheltlitfest #katemosse

Dream come true today - I saw my first piece of writing, "The Taverner's Tale", published in T'Art Press's anthology "Between Queer Teeth"! If you're curious, you can find it here www.t-artpress.co.uk/anthology

This might not be the healthiest way to write, but it's my favourite, for obvious reasons.

Brain does love to do the whole "here's an idea" thing as I'm falling asleep. I wonder if this will be as funny in the light of day.

Because I'm an anxiety riddled muppet I've been worried that there was a mistake when my short story was accepted for publication. Turns out they really did want my story! Just a childhood dream coming true over here, no biggie (actually, it's a big biggie)

Writing on my lunch break. It feels like a slow process but every time I put pen to paper, a little more of the story comes together.

In Wincheater Waterstones yesterday, my friend called me over and pointed to this section of the shelf and said "this is where your books will go!". I love her so much.

First pass at fantasy map drawing. This is fun, even if I could do with a bit more practice! 😂

Cheeky trip to Waterstones.

This gives me such a funny feeling in my chest. I can't imagine how it's going to feel if/when I get published. The Taverner's Tale is my first short story about a girl who falls in love with a selkie.

If you'd like a book recommendation for Pride Month, I actually can't recommend T.J. Klune's "House On The Cerulean Sea" enough. It's a beautiful queer fantasy romance full of joy and warmth and low(ish) stakes. I absolutely love it.

Aaah, she's finished! Check out the art @chloestarlingart.bsky.social made of my original character Astrid, a Victorian witch experiencing one Hell of a Halloween in The Witch At Number Seven.

Doing some character development over lunch, I love working like this. Currently getting to know Baer, a dwarf from my high fantasy romance project.

I'm working on a short story at the moment and made a typo that drastically changed the feel of the story.
