How to write a book: 1. Add words, one after the other (although not necessarily in that order). 2. Read them and understand them. 3. (Unintelligible noises optional at this point). 4. Look at the word count and shed a little tear. 5. Displacement activity (I have a clean house and tidy garden). 🖕1.

I've yet to see a convincing argument otherwise.

Hurray! Have verified my age status on bsky using facial recognition and the AI has decided I'm old. OK, I admit I'm slightly disappointed.

@balquidder.bsky.social but first it was veggie breakfast at Mhor 84!

Survived the Bealach na Bà (again) and arrived at the sweetest cottage in Applecross to finish my edits DI Corstorphine Book 3, continue my standalone project and make a start on DI Corstorphine Book 4 – unless the drink gets to me first. Goddamn the life of a writer is hard!

Reviewing reviews

Free book! If you subscribe to Amazon Prime then you can download this first in the series book for free. An entire book for nothing. And the best bit is I still get paid for every download! I could buy Mr Bezo's yacht if everyone bought a copy. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CP895M9...

They’ve only gone and made it free on Prime! www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CP895M9...

5k in and this is a journey unlike any I've been on. I hope someone will want to publish when I finish because I'd love to share it with you.

Best thing about writing a book? For me it's the research, closely followed by reaching the end. What about my fellow writers?
