The last two days I have written 6k words. That included writing a new chapter for The Search (book 2 of the Portal Series). #WritingCommunity

Meeting with my editor went well today. Writing a new chapter for Book 2, and need to tweak a few things, but otherwise looking good developmentally. #WritingCommunity

November has started, and I'm 1k in. Not going for the 50k this November. How about you?

It's been confirmed a tornado went through my suburb on Sunday here in Australia. It missed my house by a few blocks.

Words. There are words.

I still haven't written anything.

Someone tell me to stop procrastinating and write the damn book

Got a new five star review on Goodreads!

Saw someone on Twitter who may have lost 50k book because their SSD failed. Please remember to back your work up to multiple locations. If you use Scrivener, use Dropbox.

Haven't written anything today, but I did bake a cake! Happy birthday to my beloved hubby.

Editing began on book 2 of the Portal Series today.

I have a book. Please buy it. I had no sales in September. People say it's good. #booksky katrinamckee.com.au/portal.html

Reasons why you should never, ever believe me if I tell you I'm working on a "short" story: 1) The plot bunnies keep having babies 2) You can pry my extravagantly vibrant descriptions from my cold, dead hands 3) My characters keep answering questions I never asked 4) 30k is short, right? 💙📚

My gay romance got rejected.

Managed to get some writing in today. Some days the muse strikes. Some days it does not. How does it work for you? #WritingCommunity

@jamesmoran.com Hi Jame. Wondering if you ever got the opportunity to read "Portal". There's now a second edition. I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd like.

I wrote 3k yesterday. Didn't even realise it. I just wrote and the words flowed. #WritingCommunity

"Portal", a contemporary Australian science fiction, is available now in bookstores and online. katrinamckee.com.au/portal.html

Dracula had a surprise

My first book is a BookBub deal this month! I’m proud of it, it has ghosts and swearing and posh people being terrifying but getting comeuppance and big jumpers and being sick in a graveyard! #booksky #bookrecommendations ⚡️📚 www.bookbub.com/books/grave-...

Would you allow fan fiction of your book? I would.

I wish there was a magic button to get people to buy your book. #WritingCommunity

Always

Sometimes the abyss screams.

How is everyone's writing going today?

Um...

I know a few people who would volunteer.

They are the same thing, right?

My computer died. Please buy my book so I can get a new one.
