Happy birthday to me 🎈

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I have this feeling this is going to be THE age. This is going to be my time. I can feel it 💪

Read an average of over 50 pages a day since I picked this up. Completely heartbreaking and life affirming all at once. As usual, the world swallowed me whole, and I couldn’t escape #booksky

Having to psych myself up for this re-write because it means EVERYTHING ❤️ #Writingcommunity

So who’s doing a November challenge this year? I’m going to be doing PaWriCo with Pathfinders Writing Collective ❤️ #WritingCommunity

The best thing I’ve ever written - and no, I’m not taking questions on that - is an overly long YA zombie novel about two characters who are platonic soul mates falling (platonically) in love during the apocalypse. Why wouldn’t you want to read 120k words of that? #writingcommunity

It was like this was made for me. Taylor Swift stationery!? Yes @gemmarosepins.bsky.social ! My favourite purchase so far 💕

Took longer to type up than I expected, but I definitely underestimated myself. I wrote 9,222 in 6 days, average 1,500 a day! Holiday me is the best me. Shame real life gets in the way 🙃 #writingcommunity

Read 100 pages of The Survivor Wants to Die at The End by Adam Silvera today, and it’s genius - as usual! Can’t put it down! Love when this happens 🥰 #booksky

Embracing autumn’s arrival by reading under a new pumpkin blanket with a cup of tea 🍂 #booksky

Took our 3 year old to Adventure Island today, and I’m pleased to report we’re raising a thrill-seeker 🎢 🫡

Ready to have my heart ripped out. Again 👍 #booksky

Time to type up all this holiday writing. Send good vibes 💪 #Writingcommunity

It was so easy to find time to write on holiday, and that is always so sharply in focus when I come back and continue to think about writing all day but then am too exhausted to open the document. I need to start making time again ❤️ #writingcommunity

I always adore Brigid Kemmerer, and this was no different. I love all the characters so much, even when they don’t like each other, and that’s not easy to achieve. I have a soft spot for Tycho and might even invite him to my fantasy dinner party. Can’t wait for book 3! #booksky

Wrote what I estimate is about 7,000 words on my holiday! I was in the zone 😎 Now to type it all up… #writingcommunity

I’m just a Swiftie staring at the new album, ready to go feral 🧡✨

Started this today ❤️✨ #Booksky

As usual, I have too many books I want to take on holiday 😂 Any recommendations for what I should take? #booksky

Happy “salt air, and the rust on your door” to all! ✨☀️ #Swiftie

I love the ancient Greeks and their gods and heroes, so I don’t know why it took so long for me to pick up The Song of Achilles. I fell into the story utterly and completely and devoured it. The storytelling is nothing short of beautiful ❤️ #booksky

Another amazing buy from @gemmarosepins.bsky.social Can’t wait to take this on holiday! ☀️

Finally starting the Song of Achilles! #Booksky

16 years ago I opened my laptop and started typing. My life has never been the same ❤️ #WritingCommunity

700 followers! Not too shabby 😎 It’s a tiny number compared to the old place, but we’ve got to start somewhere

Thinking about writing all the time. That’s always my first step before diving in. Hold onto your hats! #WritingCommunity

1 year ago today we were at the Eras Tour. Take me back! 😭

When you can’t wait for the paperback to come out so your bookshelf looks like this 😂 #booksky

SUZANNE! HOW COULD YOU! I devoured every word until I felt empty. It’s one of those books you wish you could read for the first time over again. Heartbreaking and wonderful all at once. Made me a reading addict again ❤️ #booksky

Happy #pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 I am proud to be a fierce ally everywhere I go ❤️ My profile is a safe space for all my LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and siblings, whether you’re out or not. I see you, and you are amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing and making the world a better place ⭐️

Read 100 pages of Sunrise on the Reaping already, and I can’t stop! #booksky

Be right back, going to get my heart broken #booksky

I don’t tend to like movie adaptations of books, but I loved The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes film! Apologies to James who had to deal with me pausing it to keep adding details in! #booksky

Suzanne Collins is a phenomenal writer! I adored every page of getting to know Snow and understand why he is the way he is. It was fascinating! Can’t wait to read about Haymitch next! #booksky

Can’t believe how invested I am in The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes 😂 #Booksky

Really enjoying The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. No idea why I ever doubted Suzanne Collins. She’s a powerhouse. It’s so comfortable falling back into a world I was obsessed with as a teenager ❤️ #Booksky

Finally getting round to reading this! Can’t wait to return to Panem! ❤️ #booksky

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: it’s not the best, but it’s not terrible either. There’s so much I want to change, but it’s all do-able, and I’m filled with inspiration and motivation to fix things. I’m excited to re-write! 🥳 #WritingCommunity

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: I love when my favourite FMC gets down to business. “When duty called, I answered.” #WritingCommunity

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: I know which non-protagonist is my favourite, and they need more page time 👀🔥 #WritingCommunity

Another escape room escaped 😎

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: about half way through and I have 3 A4 pages of scribbled notes. The good news is, it’s all fixable. So far… #WritingCommunity

500 followers 🥳 Having a great time here 💙

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: one of my protagonists is really not working for me 🙃 #WritingCommunity

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: the pacing is WEIRD. What was I doing? 😂 #WritingCommunity

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: 130 pages in, and I think I’ve chosen the wrong POV 🙃 #WritingCommunity

Thoughts while reading through my latest first draft: it’s not the best first 50 pages I’ve written, but it’s by no means the worst 👍 #WritingCommunity

Now I’ve finished reading Onyx Storm, I’m going to let myself read my WIP from November. At last! 🥳 #WritingCommunity
