Nothing a cup of coffee won't fix... Because tell me why this piece of writing isn't coming together? Tell me why I'm unable to crash, bosh off this cliffhanger pieces splattered everywhere, the way I see it in my head. #writingcommunity #inkandimagination #writingproblems #WomensFiction

Sometimes, just sometimes, my writing fascinates me. #WritingCommunity #inkandimagination

Currently going over a body of work I did years ago which at the time felt the bee's knees. Now however, coupled with my improved writing style and a better direction of the story, there are chunks that require a rewrite. #progress #writingcommunity

Once I'd finished my 1st body of work and started querying, I realised I couldn't decide on the genre. That was a headache so once I started the 2nd body of work I got rid of that problem and plotted for a genre. However, that had its restrictions on my creativity. #5amWritersClib #WritingProcess

It's as it says... 'straight talk from a divorce lawyer' but I've chuckled so many times during the read, that I'm gonna have to read it again. #TheManILove #divorcelawyers #jamesjsexton #WhenTheRhythmChanges

Q1 Did you always plan to be a writer or did you switch to writing from another career/role? How did you make it happen? #WomenWritersNet

I heard this question today, and it got me thinking. I write travel infused contemporary women's fiction but I had to think about it. Decided it's symbiotic. Imagination feeds off life, feeds off imagination. But what about you? #WritingCommunity #InkandImagination #romancelandia #5amWitersClub

What happens at Desire Resorts #México www.girlwelltravelled.net/desire-pearl... Desire Resort Stories

Most people know David Hockney for his visual art. I had the pleasure of viewing but I first encountered him through this treat: a first edition of China Diary, written by Stephen Spender and illustrated by David Hockney 1981

A writer's indulgence. One of which is reading. But how do we separate the pages? The ones we've already consumed from the ones waiting to be? Today's indulgence is this stylishly made bookmark. #LiteratiLuxuries #InkandImagination #FridaysWritersIndulgence #WritersIndulgence #WritingCommunity

While writing is therapy. It's also broken me. But my writing and I are so much stronger in those cracked and broken places. #InkandImagination #WritingaNovel #5amWritersClub #WriteSky

Sanding down our writing to avoid criticism. Chasing universal approval. The offense we keep committing. Let's write what we believe. That is, in the way only you can say it. #5amWritersClub #WritingaNovel #Authors #InkandImagination #writerscommunity

I'm not upset that you write. No? No. I'm upset that from now on, I'll never know what's fact and what's fiction. 😅 Anyone else in this predicament? #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity #5amWritersClub #InkandImagination

Those 1st attempts are very likely to be questionable. May even take some 200 attempts later before it starts feeling right. But the handbag of regrets is much heavier to carry than the handbag of chances taken. #WomensFiction #inkandimagination #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #writingskills

1/3 'When the Rhythm Changes' was never meant to be anything more than a story for Xmas 2024. Something I'd started back in December 2020. The idea itself came from the kernel of a conversation at a party a few months earlier. www.girlwelltravelled.net/when-the-rhy... #WriteSky #InkandImagination

This is something I've toyed with. Giving my characters faces. And for most parts (a good 95%), I've managed not to do so. Preferring to leave that up to my readers imaginations.

Writers remember... Your clock Your time Your journey Your path It doesn't need to be perfect. Only to keep going. #writesky #writinginspo #inkandimagination #ContemporaryFiction #WomensFiction

Today's unpleasant news. That novel your dithering on can only be spilled by you. So go spill It! That's it #CoffeeShot #InkandImagination #WritingCommunity #ContemporaryFiction #Booksky

Forgive the plot for not coming together just yet. File the rejections under 'ClosedDoor'. Turn no one is buying my book to someone has bought my book. Because good things take time. #5amWritersClub #WriteSky #InkandImagination

'To infinity and beyond.' The iconic line that has long escaped Toy Story and it's games. Plus a few more famous lines that have stood the test of decades. I know you've uttered at least one of these. But which ones? www.girlwelltravelled.net/movie-quotes... #moviequotes #writtenword #spokenword
