Write a scene using only what can be seen and heard. No thoughts. No backstory. Just the moment unfolding. See how much tension appears. Let me mentor you through your writing goals. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/mentoring #TinyTasksTuesday #writing #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Your writing doesn’t need to be extraordinary today. It only needs to be honest. Write one paragraph that tells the truth about something small. A moment, a feeling, a memory. debbivoisey.co.uk #MondayMotivation #MindfulMonday #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

As writers we are all different. You will find your way and your voice. Want to be brave? You can be. Simply write and you can’t be wrong. Be you! www.debbivoisey.co.uk #SundayReflections #WriterIdentity #AmWriting #CreativeJourney #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Setting word goals is okay as long as it doesn’t hinder the creative moment. A writing session where you create 394 words is a chunk towards 1000. No need to rush. www.debbivoisey.co.uk #SlowSaturday #WritersNotebook #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

NEW #WRITING BLOG POST - With 2 questions I would love to hear your answers to. Post in the comments under the blog. Thank you, #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky www.debbivoisey.co.uk/musings/writ...

Some #writing thoughts for today. Stay curious & find those story threads. Tell the truth - to yourself. Do a freewrite & allow yourself imperfection! Be kind to yourself. ☺️ www.debbivoisey.co.uk #FreeWriteFriday #FridayFeeling #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Two Weeks to Writers Reading. Thursday 19th March, 2026 - Featured Reader @jtblackie.bsky.social. Reading slots still open. #writersreading #writing #reading open.substack.com/pub/debbivoi...

Read like a writer today. Notice how a scene opens, where tension slips in, and what’s left unsaid. Borrow the technique, not the voice. #emulation of style is ok. debbivoisey.co.uk #ThoughtfulThursday #ReadingLikeAWriter #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

What are you resisting writing right now? The tender bit? The truthful bit? The uncomfortable bit? That may be exactly where the energy is. www.debbivoisey.co.uk #WritingCourageWednesday #MidweekMuse #AmWriting #CreativeTruth #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

New Blog NEW BLOG POST - Please read and leave a comment. 😊 #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky www.debbivoisey.co.uk/musings/atte...

Feeling stuck? Try shrinking the task. Don’t write a chapter, write a paragraph. Don’t write a paragraph, write one honest sentence. debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-... #TinyTasksTuesday #WritingTips #AmWriting #CreativeHabits #KeepGoing #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Our next feature shines a light on Debbi Voisey @dublinwriter.bsky.social writer, editor, and mentor. You can browse everything on offer here: www.debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-... ~ Next week, I'll also be sharing tasters from Issue 6. I'm excited for you to get a feel for what's coming.

Attention is a writing muscle. Today, notice one small thing you'd usually miss: a sound, a gesture, a sliver of light. Write 3 lines about it. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-... #MondayMotivation #MindfulMonday #WriterLife #AmWriting #CreativePractice #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

New Substack Post. Hope February was good and productive for you. Please read, and subscribe if you do not already. 🙏The Quiet Work - Wrapping up February, by @DublinWriter open.substack.com/pub/debbivoi...

Before the week begins, ask yourself: What kind of writer do I want to be? Whatever the answer, you don’t become that writer overnight. You practise. A lot. Check out my courses, events and mentoring. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/mentoring.html #SundayReflection #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Permission for today: Write something small. One paragraph. One moment. One exchange of dialogue....Every little helps. Look around my #writingcommunity at: www.debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-... #SaturdayWriting #WeekendWords #FlashFiction #SmallSteps #writersofbluesky

NEW BLOG POST - February Sidles Out - Please read and comment ☺️ #writing #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky www.debbivoisey.co.uk/musings/febr...

What are you avoiding in your writing? The difficult conversation scene? The tricky plot holes? The character that needs fleshing out? Tackle it, tension is where the energy lives. #FridayFocus #WriteTheHardThing #CreativeHonesty #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

Read some great writing today. Not to compare. Just to absorb. Feel how those words form and land. Another writer’s rhythm can remind you what’s possible. Check out my website. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/client-testi... #ThursdayThoughts #WritersRead #ReadingLife #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

READ and comment on yesterday's blog post - The Noticing Notebook - Debbi Voisey DublinWriter Creative Writing www.debbivoisey.co.uk/1/post/2026/...

I have 2 published novellas-in-flash and 1 novel, and I love to work with #writers to mentor them through their projects. If you need a friendly & enthusiastic mentor, consider booking a session with me. Or look at my novel or NIF courses or Time to Write. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-...

If you are lacking the inspiration to #write today, just show up. Inspiration often arrives halfway through a paragraph you didn’t want to begin. Come work with me: www.debbivoisey.co.uk/courses-and-... #WednesdayWisdom #WriteAnyway #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

NEW BLOG POST - The Noticing Notebook. Please read and share your thoughts in the comments box. #writing #writingcommunity #noticing #writersofbluesky www.debbivoisey.co.uk/musings/the-...

Before you write, pause for 2 minutes. What can you hear? Smell? Sensory description matters. If you try to force a story, it won't work, so use your senses to make the foundations, and build from that. #TuesdayThoughts #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #PayAttention #writersofbluesky

What are you noticing today? Not achieving. Not producing. What are you seeing? Can you make a note of it and save it for later? Start a "noticing" notebook. Attention is where writing begins. #MindfulMonday #WritingLife #CreativePractice #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

Before the week turns again, ask: What felt alive in my writing this week? That’s where you return next. #SundayStill #WriterReflection #CreativeLife #SlowWriting #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

Not all writing days are for output. Some are for reading, drifting, daydreaming, and refuelling the well. I'm reading today - what are you doing? ☺️#SaturdayStillness #CreativeRest #ReadingLife #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

NEW MUSING BLOG POST: How Writing Actually Accumulates - Please read and post a comment there, I would love to hear your thoughts. ☺️ www.debbivoisey.co.uk/1/post/2026/...

Pages are built quietly. A paragraph today. Another tomorrow. This is how #books happen. #FridayFocus #WritingProgress #SmallSteps #WritersJourney #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

@sanjeevbhaskar.bsky.social Read a thing you posted over on X, saying you occasionally checked in here😊Just saw you have a new drama coming, filmed in Manchester - my beloved second home. Was just there to work on my novel! Looking forward to seeing you AND my city! Hope you're having a great week x

Doubt doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It often means you’re close to something that matters. #ThursdayThought #WritingDoubt #CreativeCourage #WriterMindset #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

NEW BLOG POST - Staying With the Sentence - Please read and leave a comment on the blog. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/1/post/2026/...

The work isn’t always about inspiration. Sometimes it’s about staying one sentence longer than you planned to. #WednesdayWords #WritingTruths #StayWithTheSentence #AmWriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Thrilled to have a story in issue 6 of Underbelly. 😊
