Imposter syndrome, pain flares, and work have all been conspiring against me lately, but progress on edits has finally resumed.

Bonus day off today because there were no trains running after Storm Éowyn but the words did not happen. How I wish my ADHD didn't run on "oh the first draft is done, the task is finished" logic because... the task is definitely not finished 🥲

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

For Day 2 of #BluePitHype, two moodboards! The one on the left is for my YA mystery with Life is Strange vibes, and the one on the right is for a super-secret new YA mystery project that I'll be drafting over the next few months.

Hey #BluePitHype! 👋 I'm Inde, and I write science-fiction that puts women and queer folk front and center. I mostly write for myself, but recently that's been changing. 🤔 I'm currently reworking a space opera that's been on the backburner since 2019. 🤣 Looking forward to everyone's pitches soon!

Hello! I’m Mariann, a YA mystery/thriller writer from Scotland! I’ve been writing as long as I can remember and I love to write stories that champion fat, queer, neurodivergent girls like me! My current WIP is a YA sapphic murder mystery with Life is Strange vibes 💙 #BluePitHype

Nothing like sleeping *slightly* off-centre and waking up with such a stiff, sore, unmovable neck to make you feel old. Adulthood is a scam. 😭

It's the shortest (and messiest!) WIP I've finished in a long, long time, but my sapphic ya mystery has a (mostly complete) first draft. Now comes the fun bit! ❤️

I can’t believe I’m back to work tomorrow 😭 today will be a day of Persona 4 Golden, writing, and reading to make up for it

First book of the year polished off and now onto the NetGalley gems I’ve been saving. Very excited for this one by the lovely @paulagleeson.bsky.social!!

2,200 words in just over an hour. Maybe (very) late night writing is the way to go???

the usual holiday insomnia has finally struck so.... 3am words? #amwriting

Comfy and cosy and ready for my first read of the year! Asako Yuzuki’s Butter! The only New Year’s resolution I’ve made this year is to try and read a little bit every night before bed, so let’s hope I can keep it up!

Happy new year everyone! Hearing the fireworks over the howling 40mph wind and driving rain is certainly an experience 😂

I didn’t reach my 2024 reading goal but here is my #storygraph summary anyway!

House to myself, cosy blankets, hot water bottle, candles on... perfect atmosphere for writing! #writingcommunity
