Hurray! I’m now just over 7000 words into my novel and feeling really focussed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I questioned myself to begin with; all the planning and plotting. I worried I was just putting off actual ‘writing’ 😆

But I’m so glad I did it. Those plot points are like signposts leading the way through.

I created this for my Instagram yesterday. I crafted, filmed, edited, and wrote a caption. For it to be seen by a tiny audience. It really makes me wonder why I bother. Is anyone having any success over there at the moment? I’d like to hear some positive stories!

#readers I’m 83 pages in to ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin but so far am just not hooked. I had such high hopes for this book, as so many people had recommended it to me.

Should I persevere? 🤔

Batten down the hatches folks - it’s going to be a stormy weekend ⛈️ #stormdarragh

A question for all you #authors - do you plan a story from the outset, write and see where it takes you, or a bit of both. ✍️

Writing is such a solitary pastime, I think it’s fascinating to know how other people approach it 😊

I’m really enjoying the solace of Bluesky!! I’ve been reading Threads this morning and jeez there are some angry people on there 😱 So nice to come over to a platform where people are positive and gentle.
