I want to write but I want to read but I want to draw but I want to sleep but I want to watch movies and TV there's not enough time!!!

You ever unpick a plot thread because you don't want it in the book anymore, and then it just starts to unravel and create 983429 more problems? 😭

Did a last re-read of my Arthurian manuscript after a few months of not looking at it and dare I say it doesn't suck? 😬

I finished How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by @djangowexler.bsky.social last night and absolutely loved it! I had to order the sequel straight away. SO funny and full of heart. I'm going to be recommending it to every fantasy fan I know 🖤

On the last chapter of my rewrites, then I've got to go back and....rewrite the book again...

What's this hibernophobia now

Further to the Great News, may I offer you a Great Cover!

Taylor Acorn's new album Poster Child is just what I needed, perfect nostalgic pop rock. I haven't loved a record this much in so long. 🥰😭 open.spotify.com/album/50YroQ...

I am *this* close to being finished with this draft and I just found YET ANOTHER PLOT HOLE. I'm so done.

Writing police investigation stuff in your book when you have no idea how any of it works, and even LESS of an idea of how it would work in a fantasy context

Managed to get 10k of rewrites done since Friday night! I'm very happy with my progress lately 🥰

I rewrote another chapter today so I am rewarding myself with my favourite passionfruit bubble tea. 🧋

It took me long enough to start, but I've recently got into reading at least 100 pages of a book before I go to bed, and it's done wonders for how much reading I'm getting done! I've read 4 books this month including a 1000+ pager which is really good for me.

Re-wrote a whole chapter and tormented @witchymomo.bsky.social with it, what a good evening

Doing my Waterstones pre-ordering and couldn't help but notice a handful of Celtic myth-based fantasies coming in the next year (mostly adult, and yes obviously I've pre-ordered them). Anyone out there want a Celtic fantasy YA? 🥺

Feeling very smug rn because I read an early version of this and it was AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to read the final version! Congratulations @melindasalisbury.com 🖤

I've been a Swiftie since debut, but this is the first time I haven't found any songs to love on a Taylor Swift album. I like it! It's going to be good fun to dance to and it has some really catchy hooks. But for me it's missing the ~secret sauce~ that makes me want to replay it over and over.

Suspicious at how well this round of edits is going.

Editing is hard but when you make a change and it really improves the book it's like actual magic 😭🪄

How I imagine literary agents react when they see "Arthurian" in my query letter

Today I got back from an amazing weekend at my first Starfury Invasion convention, where I got to finally meet Diego Luna (who is LOVELY!!) and I will never be the same 🥹😭

Been thinking a lot lately about my Celtic YA fantasy and how I just can't let it go. I have gotten SO close! So many times! One agent even wrote me a near-ESSAY on what she loved about it. But it always comes down to "almost".

I love drafting. I hate editing, or rather, I completely forget how to edit every time I write a book. *stares blankly at document*

Opened my draft as I need to get back to work on it and it has not miraculously turned into a perfect book like I hoped. What a scam.

It's a new month, which means my break is over and it's time to get on with my new (and hopefully final) draft! ✍️

I finished my second draft. It's actual garbage but it's finished. Now to have a rest.

How is my second draft WORSE than the first

When you're two drafts into a book that is likely completely unmarketable and will be dead on arrival when querying it but you love it anyway so you keep chugging away at it

Me at the moment with this draft

A spare rec, anyone?

Does anyone have any recommendations for adult or new adult books that: - Have protagonists in their 20s - Are fantasy - Are NOT romantasy - Are first person POV Thank you in advance! 🖤

I haven't drawn properly for ages but I've been trying to doodle some of my characters from my witch book and I like how it's going so far!

Over the past few weeks I have managed to shape this book into something that I'm really excited about and working on it is just making me really happy.

When I was writing my Arthurian book, I wanted to kill off my previous, Celtic YA book and stop querying it. Now that I'm writing my witch book, I want to kill off my Arthurian book and stop querying it. Why am I like this.

Guess who spilled their drink over their laptop, thereby breaking it and has to now resort to their nearly decade-old Chromebook that can't even do updates any more 😮‍💨

My first draft is done 😭😭😭 It's actual garbage but it EXISTS. I was so worried about re-writing my YA fantasy as adult but I think it works and I'm so excited to delve into planning the second draft 🖤

When you make up an awesome, scary villain for your story: 😀😀😀 When you have to work out how to defeat said villain to conclude the story: 😭😭😭

Me and @witchymomo.bsky.social trying to work out how the last plot threads of my book are going to tie together

I've been on such a writing high for the past few days, I've written about 15k words of this draft and I've been staying up late just to write. I missed this feeling so much 😭 The draft is hot garbage but most of the pieces are there and I'm excited about this story again!!

Had a great time today at Andmore, a fan-run event celebrating the talent behind the camera for Andor! It was so cool to hear from graphic designers, set decorators, droid builders and more. I also got to show Barry Gingell my tattoo of his crest design and he gave me a fist bump 😀

Would anyone be up for having a look at my query letter please? I've rewritten it about six times and have lost all ability to tell if it's any good or not 🥴

and then it was bought by me

I was obviously not insane enough about Andor already so I had it tattooed on my arm.

Andor is over 😭 Now what do I do with my life (The answer is obviously to watch Rogue One again)
