I can't believe this time next week NaNoWriMo will be coming to an end. I've got 8,000 words left to do and I'm hoping to get a couple of good days in and finish early.

My new video is up on YouTube. It's a review of The Spiced Cocoa Cafe by Harper Graham. youtu.be/e4JlIpAO7BU #booksky #bookreview

Have you seen this weeks video yet? It's all about sticking out the tough second week of NaNoWriMo, and yes I know we're going into week 3 but the advice still holds! youtu.be/JUH-ZXocyT8 #NaNoWriMo #writingcommunity

I hit 18k words. I had a few days where it felt like a struggle, but now I feel like I'm back to where I need to be. #NaNoWriMo #writingcommunity

Currently sitting at just over 15,500 words. Made a few changes to future chapters and feeling positive I can get thid novel written in a month. #NaNoWriMo #writingcommunity

My latest video about giving and receiving writing feedback is up on YouTube. youtu.be/7E0PSGskuzk #writingcommunity

I've sponsored a bursary place at this year's Radio TechCon. If you're interested in getting into broadcast engineering or the tech side of radio it's a great event to learn more, and there are friendly people who are more than happy to chat to new faces!

First milestone has been hit! It feels so good to be writing again. How's everyone else's day 3 going? #writingcommunity #NaNoWriMo

Managed to catch up after being behind with my word count and now im well over 3000 words. #writingcommunity #NaNoWriMo

My friend has started reviewing coffee over on Substack. If you're looking for your next blend to help you survive your next writing sprint, check him out anothercuppaplease.substack.com

Got my first 500 words written for NaNoWriMo. Tomorrow is going to have to be a serious catch up day though. #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2025 #writingcommunity

Tomorrow's youtube video is edited and scheduled. It's my first kind of vlog.

As writing spots go, this has been one of my better ones. #writingcommunity

I know I'm late to the party for this one but I finally read some reviews and decided to give The Pumpkin Spice Café a go. #booksky

FOLKS! We are SO VERY NEAR to securing the peerless archive of Ray Galton and Alan Simpson for the nation, forever. That's Hancock, Steptoe and Son plus so so much more. Its all their scripts, professional correspodence, plus diaries, working notes - the lot yustart.hubbub.net/p/galtonands...

Just had my best writing day in months. Just over 2000 words and the chapter I've been working on for months is finally finished!

I'd like to make a suggestion. Can we trade in playlists at the start of romance novels for trigger warnings? Totally related, I'm off to make myself some tea and cuddle something fuzzy.

youtu.be/YUdbRr8jIrA?... My new video is up on YouTube.

My second YouTube video has been uploaded and scheduled for tomorrow. If you haven't seen the last one yet, that's all about morning pages, you can check it out here youtu.be/d1iEPAPe5Zo #WritingCommunity

Does anyone else get an idea for a story that's in a genre they haven't written or even read in the past? #writingcommunity #writercommunity

My first video has gone live! I'm officially a youtuber now! youtube.com/@aurorapowli...

Had to leave at bonkers o'clock in the morning to avoid the worst of the tube strike. But now I can read for a while and not worry about rush hour or being late.

My first YouTube video is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. I'm so nervous about it.

Good morning everyone. I'm up, my morning pages are done and I'll be working on a vlog and a writing project today.

Send thoughts to my Ma at this time. We have The Great Escape on and I've gone full special interest on her about the actual escape and the people involved in it.

So, now NaNoWriMo has closed down, who's still doing a November writing challenge this year? #writingcommunity

Preptober is starting early for me. And what could be better for plotting an Alice in Wonderland inspired story than tea? ##amwriting ##writingcommunity

Didn't get my YouTube video up yesterday since I forgot I needed a thumbnail. Then decided this morning to have another go at recording it. I'm procrastinating at this point aren't I?

Today I'm up, dressed, out the door and on my way to tick off something from my leaving London bucket list.

My first YouTube video will be going up tomorrow night! I'll be talking about morning pages. ##writingcommunity

Hey, how's everyone doing? I've been super busy getting packed up for my move.

Since my tomorrow plans have changed I think I'll check out the romance bookstore in Notting Hill tomorrow afternoon.

It's my first day of my week off! Feels crazy to still be in bed this late on a Monday morning.

Chekhov's Stick. 💙📚 #booksky #writing #books #writingcommunity

It's the first day of an exciting new chapter!

I've run for the train for the last time. As of right now I'm a full-time writer and content creator! My first YouTube video will be coming in the next couple of weeks.

I just got the sweetest leaving card. I nearly teared up. Can't believe in 45 minutes I'll be walking out the door for the last time.
