There’s definitely luck in publishing, so do what you can to meet it halfway–join a crit group, take courses, enter comps, read lots, try writing for different age groups. Livia actually started as a middle grade but I was able to revise and resubmit after chat with editor. #ukteenchat #liviainrome

In the middle. Planster? I spend a bit of time on a synopsis for the big picture and overall shape, but that's as detailed as it gets. Once I know what the character wants, what's in their way, and where to end up, I claw my way through a first draft. HATE first drafts! #ukteenchat #liviainrome

Right? I like wondering how on earth they get get together by the end of the book. We kind of know how romances end, but getting there is the fun part #ukteenchat #liviainrome

Hurrah #LiviaInRome by @brunadeluca.bsky.social was just what my rainy Scottish September Weekend needed. Transported to sunny Rome & a 'will they, won't they' romance ❤️ family secrets & great friends.
Get cosy and enjoy!

Thanks @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social & @youthlibrarygroup.bsky.social
A young girl stands outside a café door, wearing an apron and holding a tray of drinks, she is looking at a boy on a Vespa parked outside. She is smiling but his expression is hard to read, is he thinking or smirking? The Café walls are butterscotch yellow and painted with leaves and flowers around the door and sign.

Four Black teens look to the the reader as they stand in front of an orange tree trunk in a clearing, surrounded by dark bushes and exotic flowers almost as big as them! There are tiny lights to the front, making the scene look magical. The centre colours are orange and green, pink and pale yellow, surrounded by dark green and purple leaves. A young girl with long brown hair and an apron on, stands in front of a café holding a tray with drinks and ice cream. She is looking at a teenager who sits outside on a blue vesper, who is in the process of taking his blue bike helmet off, or is putting it on. They are looking back at her.

No new KoFi donations at all today.
But the monthly sub from "Jason" did arrive.

Also in my catch-up yesterday of support in the last week, I need to thank LiviainRome & CLies13 on X and @sergeykofanov.bsky.social who did not show up on the KoFi list.

A very sincere thank you to all supporters💙💛
