Well now don't I feel silly. Turns out I am. I wondered why this hit so hard 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #LGBTQ #DifferentNotBroken #QueerVoices #LGBTQAlly #BeYourself #JodieFoster

So, here's a thing. It turns out I've been suffering gender dysphoria. All those books written with only queer female protagonists should have been the biggest clue, yet I missed it somehow🙂 So as July 18th, "W" day, I'm proudly transgender. The chrysalis forms 🥰 🌈 #LGBTQ #Transfem #queerlit

Writer Or Author? Here we go, you're thinking. What's he railing against this time? Well, it's the usual, really. Artificial barriers, gatekeeping, and elitism. This time, the perception of the difference between writers and authors. A small point, perhaps, but taken as one of the thousand cuts…

Newborn is just outside the Top 100 in LGBTQ+ Sci-Fi! I could not ask for more on day two of launch. Huge thanks to everyone who’s bought it already. If you haven’t yet, it’s free on KU and just 99p to buy! shorturl.at/cQUSc #indieauthor #queerfiction #lgbtqreads #specfic #sapphicreads #KUbooks

Newborn is available on pre-order on Amazon! Marketing underway, Funnel active. Bring it on! Please, writing gods, if you wouldn't mind, please let someone buy it and like it? Thank you so much in advance. 😁 #writingcommunity #self-publishing #writinggoals

I did it again. Got caught up in promotion stuff and forgot to write! Tomorrow, I get back to it properly. The site is up. The cover is done. I can BREATHE 😊 #witingcommunity #selfpublishing #indiepress #authorlife

The cover for my debut, Newborn (which is actually my 4th book - long story), will be ready in a couple of days. It's all getting a bit real. Can't wait to see see how much better it will be than my placeholder effort! 😊 #writingcommunity #writers #selfpub

Having spent 5 days getting my website up and running, I'm finally back writing. I'd missed it more than I thought I would, and it welcomed me back like a lost love. This is why we write. The love of the craft. #writingcommunity #writers #authorlife

Two rejections in the space of an hour. This time, there's no hand-wringing or wailing. It's a vindication that I chose the right path. Still querying, but more and more convinced I just don't fit the mould. Hopefully, in a good way! #writingcommunity #writing #amquerying

The Trenches Uncontroversial opinion: Querying is the loneliest, most frustrating part of being a writer. The writing, for me, is the easy part. Querying agents is a scream in a room full of screams that can be louder than yours, yet incoherent, and still get representation before you. But why is…

Read aloud edit commenced! I can't stand the sound of my own voice so using MS Word Read Aloud. It's better than I though it would be.🙂 #writingcommunity #writers

I just ran the odds of being trad published. We're talking lottery odds, even if the book's exceptional (perhaps because). Self-pub beckons. I'm ready to take the power back and leave the trenches. This is no longer my fight. #writingcommunity #writers #authorlife

Editing hat on today as I run through an earlier speculative before my inaugural self-pub. Delighted to find it not terrible. It needs work, but it's not the mountain I thought I had to climb 🙂 #writingcommunity #writers

I've decided to split my focus between trad and self pub, creating my own little press to get myself out there. I could sit, chewing my nails, waiting for a query to land, or I could get myself out there. A no brainer I've taken far too long to realise. BLTN! #writingcommunity #writers

My queries... 🙂 #amquerying #writingcommunity #writing

I'll just leave this here... #amquerying #agentguide

"Forges its own path" and "Fresh, unapologetic voice" are not the compliments I thought they were. "Can't sell it" and, "Too different" would have been way more helpful. Any agents out there into strong, quirky voices at the moment? 😆 #writingcommunity #amquerying

And a new record! A rejection after only 18 hours! Can't help feeling like that was an, "Eww. Oh good lord, no!" 😆. Ah well. Onwards! There's someone out there fro Karen, Destroyer of Worlds. #amquerying #writerlife #writingcommunity

Two queries out today and I'm spent. Why is it so taxing?! Oh, I remember. The whole screaming into the void thing... 🫤 #amquerying #writingcommunity #writers

WIP first draft complete! 🎉 56K words, which will end up about 85K when inflated. Historical romantic thriller fiction... thing. I do struggle to keep in the lines 😁 #wiritingcommunity #amwriting #firstdraft

A pass from the one agent I thought would get me. I preach "deep breath, move on," but when it hits, it hits so hard. I should be used to it, but 😢 #writingcommunity #querypass

ChatGPT down. Coding of my revolutionary agent querying portal put on hold. Hearing "Learn node.js yourself you lazy git." loud and clear 🙂 #chatgpt #AIdependency

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking” – Haruki Murakami Not me for a change. Explains my "genre-blurring" though! 😁 #writingcommunity #writing

I can't work out whether he is sick or stupid but my X account is going in the bin. Will it harm my career writer aspirations? Possibly. But I don't care. My people are here. #writingcommunity #writers #GreatXmigration

Listening to Muse who are, ironically, often my muse. What or who is/are yours? Who inspires you? Has maybe a song, movie, or game spurred you on to write a story or poem? #writingcommunity #writing #writinginspiration #Muse

This morning, I've broken through to the final third on my WIP. The last fence. The home straight 🙂 What are you all working on today? Starting a new project? First draft? Editing? #authorslife #writingcommunity #writing #WIP

I don't know which was worse - rejection when I thought I wasn't good enough or rejection when I know I am. At least I bounce back quicker.., probably. I'll let you know 😁 #writingcommunity #amwriting #authorslife #amquerying
