Sigh it’s suddenly gotten very cold and my rubber plant is NOT coping 🥺
Moving it to the bathroom for warmth and humidity for the foreseeable future I guess.

My Pinterest board is a winner, and as a hobbyist artist my sketchbook is another key visual tool for me!

#WritingCommunity What I mean by "Visual Aids" is photos, artworks, illustrations - pictures or videos that inspire your writing. Perhaps you found an antique photo that inspired a character or fantasy art that inspired a setting.

#WritingCommunity, what's your beverage of choice when weaving words? Is it the comforting warmth of coffee, the soothing calm of tea, or something else entirely? Share your favourites.

Oh god let me see - my brilliant friends, my wonderful beta reader @amandastarks.bsky.social, my family who have spent all these years listening to me ramble.

I think it’s safe to say that notebook hoarding makes me a stationary addict 😂
I don’t have enough notebooks. I will never have enough notebooks.
(As does my crazy amount of Copic markers shhhh)

So, #WritingCommunity, how many notebooks do you really have? I plead innocence at present since I haven't bought any this year; the four unused ones on my desk were gifts. I may, however, have an issue with sticky notes. 🐉 📚 ✏️ ✒️

Put all my anger into it.
I think it makes my manuscript feel alive and raw, and I think it certainly makes my characters more relatable. I could write clearer & with the plot in mind once I’d gotten all the feeling out of me & into it.

Honestly #writingcommunity I wish I’d known that uncertainty & self-doubt are part of the process, especially when you’re working on your first full length manuscript. But I’m not the only person who’s suffered from imposter syndrome, and I can’t write if I can’t feel

My goals for April are to get started on properly editing my manuscript (and to hopefully cut the word count down to size) & to start prepping pieces for submission to literary journals!

As somebody whose Autistic Special Interest™️ is grey wolf biology, I feel like I’ve been let loose in Disneyland. I’m enjoying bothering everybody I know about the fact that these are just genetically edited grey wolves.
Colossal didn't make a dire wolf. This is not a dire wolf! Stop saying it is!! I feel like I'm going mad!!!

Honestly, the best piece of writing advice I ever got came from a Tumblr post.
“Your characters are like geodes; if you want to see what they’re truly made of, you have to break them.”

I wrote the first draft of my #WIP during a difficult time. I also put a lot of myself into my MC; he’s got anxiety, panic attacks & a history of self harm as a result. It’s important to me that mental health is treated with understanding & respect in this project ❤️
