#reading this little beauty atm. Love me a #belindabauer #book sooooo much 🥰📚❣️✍️

Today's #reading It's beautifully written and so moving, and I've only just started it! 😅 Already highly #recommend #Books 🥰📚

Last week, I had an hour long, morning Zoom call followed by lunch with a friend that afternoon. I came home, knackered, and napped for hours. Everything wears me out these days, but then I read this: shorturl.at/rblpb And it all rang true. If you're an #introvert, it's a very interesting read! 🤔

@elenikwriter.bsky.social Eleni. Hope you're OK! I spotted your brilliant book in Nottingham Waterstones the other day. Thought I'd share with you! 🥰🥰✍️✍️📚📚 #writing #books

Love this 💚 #birds #wellbeing #wondrousness

Just sharing a few powerful, #inspirational #writing tips I've recently heard. 1. Voice: Be brave enough to be yourself. Try writing the way you speak! 2. Novels: Complicate your characters not your plot. 3. Characters: Ensure they have agency. Have them ACT in scenes. #amwriting 😘✍️💪

Yes, that's the way to do it 😅

Happy New Year, all! May all your dreams come true in 2025. Except the one where you were being chased through the woods by your geography teacher. 🎉✨️🧨⚘️🪴🎶💰

#publishing industry, are you listening? 🤣 #amquerying

#Squirrelina came to the summerhouse to fetch my husband because she wanted nuts. He went back to the house to get some, and she followed him all the way 🤣🥰🐿🤣🥰🐿 They're both nuts 😂

Fish and fishette 😅

Haha. Just trying to be funny. Have a nice day, y'all ☺️

@clarepearson.bsky.social Hi Clare. I could be wrong, but I think it was you who gave me my first positive response (& full ms request) on my first novel decades ago! Before you went on maternity & stopped doing adult fiction. You really encouraged me, kept me trying all these years, lol. So, 🙏😘

Moo #reading the paper 😻

#sundayvibes 😅

I think I've written another duff novel. I think it's the wrong story, the wrong tone, the wrong time. On top of that, it's set in Nottingham and involves a man with psychosis. Now, an understandably unpopular theme. 😢 Agents like my writing, but never the book. Always the bridesmaid... Querying 😱

Happy Christmas, y'all!

I wrote a little blogpost (with pics, no less ) about querying a novel. I haven't blogged for over 2 years! So, fill your boots #amquerying writers. Would love to hear your tales of delight or woe too! rb.gy/fs16cz

Here's another. Rejections are something I'm not short on 😅😅 Happy Thursday, y'all ❣️

Writers 📣 Any Query Rejection Poetry in this nice blue space? It's hilarious. Helps with the stress of #amquerying. Lots of it is ridiculous, thus amusing. Here's my latest. Anyone here querying a novel? I sympathise 😅😘

Maybe we should start the blackout rejection poems on here too - to cheer up any other miserable #amquerying writers out there 😅

This is nice 🙀😸 #cats

My mum told me she was reading me a bedtime story (when I was a child, that is), and the word FOREBEARS cropped up. And, at the end of the story, I disappointedly said, "but what happened to the four bears?" Must've really ruined the story for everyone 😬

Get to know your mutuals. List 10 things you are into: 1. Writing 2. Lying in dappled sunshine, listening to the birds and nature. 3. Swimming 4. Laughing, giggling, hysteria 5. Dark comic films 6. Cats 7. Being outside in quiet green space 8. My husband 9. God, what else? 10. Live blues bands

Good morning, lovely writers❣️ What was the first book you wrote? And I mean the FIRST? Mine is missing the beginning, so we jump right in with PIG riding HORSE on the *illustration page* Seems a bit back to front too... 😆

Do we do #Caturday here? Is that lowering the tone? If not, here's my emotional assistant when she was small and apparently meak. 😻😻

I'm trying things out round here.. It's October, one of my favourite months. And maybe Virginia Woolf loved it, too. 😊

Am new here❣️ 😊 Looking for the lovely writing community✍️✍️ Do we use hashtags round these parts? 😘
