My first bit of writing good news for 2025... I have just been awarded free feedback on my unfinished novel from The Literacy Consultancy through Arvon Foundation's Free Reads Scheme! The team at Arvon said they 'loved my manuscript'! I am beyond happy 😊 😃

I've only gone and done it!! I made the heartbreaking decision to cut the first 5000 words of my novel in order to get it up to scratch but I entered! Hours before the deadline! #writing #WritingCommunity

Thank you for everything you have done for the writing community x😢

I like the word 'ubiquitous', mainly because I spent an embarrassingly large part of my life pronouncing it 'oobyquishus' which I think sounds prettier 🤣

So this is where you all are! #author #writer #flashfiction
