Writing can feel very lonely at times. But whatever you’re feeling or experiencing right now, you’re not alone. Even the greatest authors made mistakes, hit mental barriers, felt rejected, and missed deadlines. Fortunately, those deadlines make a fun whooshing sound. 😂 #writingcommunity #booksky

It's #NationalMermaidDay! So of course.... Swimming with the fishes! And celebrating the paperback release last week too 🐳 🐚 #TheGirlAndTheMermaid @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social #childrensbooks

I'm not very good at posting stuff, but I'm trying to be more proactive over on Instagram, so I figured... why not just share what's occurring over there. So here goes: www.instagram.com/p/DExHb-TqCv... It's all about drawing THE LITTLE PRINCE today - which I seem to have forgotten how to do!
