I’ve been away on a crafters week at Higham Hall near Keswick and of all the crafts I tried I fell head over heels in love with lino cut printing, and love love love needlefelting. Plus the views are amazing 🥰🥰🥰

Early morning sunrise near Keswick - yesterday though. It’s foggy as heck today.

The podcast is on a break for 2 weeks so I’m sharing some episodes you might have missed instead. Have you listened to the lovely @MeNigeStew in episode 19 when we talk about staying grounded & using phrases to keep you focused? zoe.buzzsprout.com #WritingCommunity #podcast

And the structural edits are done and back with my editor. Phew. That was exhausting. But chuffed to bits to have managed that on time.

Today’s episode is such a lovely one with @tinycharlotte72 Her book is fabulous & has just been made a Richard & Judy pick. Deservedly so. Listen to episode 49 at Zoe.buzzsprout.com or all the usual places. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Current feelings about edits: 6/10 Current state of dealing with structural edits: creating a spreadsheet so I can see all edits together, writing comments next to each suggestion to help me navigate what my editor thinks needs to happen. #WritingCommunity #amediting #zoesedits

I updated the app. Hashtags have DEFINITELY landed. #writingcommunity #booksky

Hashtags have landed apparently #writingcommunity #booksky

For my podcast, Write, Damn It! I wanted to hit 2,500 downloads before end of September & last night I hit that milestone. Next Friday is episode 50. Most podcasts struggle to get past 7 episodes so I’m chuffed to bits. Want to know why it’s popular? Go to Zoe.buzzsprout.com

Gulp 😬 Edits are in from my editor. The email is lovely. 🥰 She said things like ‘the characters and the setting have brought me a lot of joy and comfort recently, and I can't wait for them to do the same for readers’. 🥹🥰 I’ll look at the actual edits later. 🫣 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting

Due to get my edits for my debut novel from my editor this week. I’m cool about it. I am. Totally cool. Yup. Cool, cool, totally cool 😎 Cool 😎 😬 🫣

I tend to have 3 books on the go at the same time. Current reads - Audible ‘If I Let You Go’ by Charlotte Levin, a stunning read; actual book ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin, enjoying it ; Kindle ‘The Maid’ by Nita Prose, doubt I’ll finish and don’t get the hype on this one.

Ok folks so how do I find more people up here in the sky? Can you connect me? Re-whatever we call it? Maybe @ people from the writing and bookish worlds in the comments? Any help welcome 🥰

First thing of note up here in the clouds is that I actually SEE the posts of people I follow. How unique. 🥰
