I just completed Fractured Determination in Jedi Survivor, and honestly I don't think I'll be this excited when I finish writing my book.

I'm in Harrogate for #theaksoncrime
...I've been ill all week, I'm one minor inconvenience for deleting my entire WIP, and I don't do well in social situations at the best of times. So, you know, do come say hi.

My crime fiction novel turned into a dark-comedy body-horror about a werewolf.
I don't know when it happened.
I don't know how it happened.
I'm so glad it happened. I'm having so much fun.

I've just finished reading the 10th book in a series and discovered book 11 isn't available in my country.
I'm having a completely normal and measured response to this.
By which I of course mean I'm hiding under a blanket and crying.

My writing deadline is June 1st. I told myself that going on vacation to Mexico would be fine, obviously I'd still write...
Who wants to guess how many words I've written since I've been here?

I'm trying to work on the Critical Analysis portion of my Crime Fiction MA.
Unfortunately, the kitten has found a far better use for one of the texts... I probably didn't need to reference that one anyway.

Someone commented 'i don't know whether I'm supposed to be laughing or horrified' on a scene in my WIP.
That's it. That's the best review I'll ever get. It's perfect.

Writers, I need some advice: what's the next move when you're pretty sure you're a bad writer and quitting is probably the best move?
Dragging myself through a creative writing MA is kicking my butt today!

Boxing Day sure would be a great day to get some writing done.
Or, to platinum Jedi Fallen Order, again.
I'm sure it helps with the writing process... Something about world building and pacing... I don't know, I'm full of chocolate. Input your own excuse.

I'm currently reading Female Anger by Caroline Ritz to structure the critical analysis portion of my MA.
I shot down suggestions that my WIP should have a male pov so it doesn't look too hard at a woman's rage... It's nice to feel like someone has my back here.
