Popped in during my socials break (still deep in writing focus mode!) and saw this brilliant review of Morgan Is My Name and Le Fay. Love the whole thread 🙌 #BookSky

✨SOME BOOKISH NEWS✨ Interrupting my socials hiatus to shout that LE FAY has found her way onto Paste Magazine’s ‘Best Books of 2024’ List! Honoured to see my stormy second book in such amazing company. Thanks so much to @lacymb.bsky.social for including my fierce, complicated heroine 🙌🖤 #Booksky

✨She made it!✨ Le Fay got her orange bestseller flag! It will never not be a thrill when this happens 🙌😍 #Booksky

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

🎄✨ IT’S UP FOR ANOTHER YEAR✨🎄 Can’t believe December is upon us already and now’s the time I usually go on my socials break, so unless I have news or something to say, I’ll probably be quiet here until the New Year (or my Book 3 edit is done) Until then, have a lovely holiday season #Booksky!

One of the greatest compliments this author has ever received 💚🥹

Lancelot (and his big tiger paws), very much judging me for editing on #Caturday when I should be paying attention to him

It’s Putting up the Christmas Tree Day! The husband does the cleaning and assembling, then I do the artsy ‘hanging the decorations’ bit, being very fussy about aesthetics, requiring many cups of tea. Perfect system, 10/10 no notes 🎄

Lol much as I would love this to be true, it absolutely cannot be. Barbara Kingsolver with a generic AI bio and reposting random memes?? Come on now – these #Booksky fakes are getting wild 😂

Quiet on #Booksky today, and I’ve actually had an excellent week at the editing desk. So I’m going to sign off for the weekend early, leaving this flashback of baby Lancelot selling my second book better than I ever could If you’re doing Black Friday book shopping, just LOOK at that FACE 😍📚

As a Welsh person, I refuse to understand or observe this version of #BlackFriday. Everyone knows the real Black Friday is when you go into town on the last day of work before Xmas, then find yourself in Metros at 2am, eating toast and yelling out 'Fairytale of New York'. What happened to TRADITION

Tenéis ya en las librerías un retelling feminista sobre Morgan le Fey. Mi Nombre es Morgana de @sophiekeetchauthor.bsky.social por la Editorial Umbriel y traducción por Marta Bru Sala Martí. #MiNombreEsMorgana #novedad #libros #umbrielEditores #retelling

He is so cute, I cannot. Those giant curled up paws 😍 (Even if he is purposely lying on one of my arms needed for work)

My green and red book sisters looking rather nice and Christmassy here! 🎄

Morning #Booksky! Ticked off a few tough editing tasks this week, so allowing myself a little chaos and a treat today by playing around with some of my favourite chapters (mainly due to featuring one of my most beloved Arthurian characters – who I cannot WAIT for readers to meet 😍👀)

Just finished this. Loved it, made me cry, now I am slightly bereft 🍎📚🥲 #Booksky

Can’t wait to spend my evening diligently finishing the book I’m reading and doing some extra bonus edits on my manuscript** **looking up French castles for sale on the internet that I cannot afford to buy

Disrupting the publishing industry by handing in my edits two months late again.

The villainous gauntlet I have to run every time I try and make my lunch 😼 #Proofofcat

Swore that I had to get this section down below 4K words to justify cutting two chapters into one, and just look how clever* I am 😇 (*totally by chance, and it needs much more work 😂)

Morning #Booksky! Made it to midweek ✨ Thinking about how many extra words in notes, research and brainstorming it takes me to get a book written, and it’s a LOT But I’ve got my master project file out for today’s editing, and reminding myself that no creativity is ever wasted ✍️

My words and chapters have not behaved *at all* today, but it’s OK because Lancelot has come to make me feel better 🥰 (actually, it’s dinner time, so his affection cannot be trusted)

Morning #Booksky! 📚 Prepping today’s writing work and having a cup of tea about it. Need to shrink two chapters into one, rework some emotional scenes, and cut about 3.5K total words from Act 1. Easy right? 🫠 Good luck to us all in our Tuesday endeavours 💪

Welcome to the Helensburgh Book Festival, a literary festival on the West coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Please give us a follow to keep up to date with all our news, we’ve got some very exciting panels to tell you about! 28th-30th March 2025 💙📚

My entire writing aesthetic probably ✨⚔️

The way he’s holding his paws 🥹

Had a decent working day, did some good writing stuff, focused well and actually enjoyed working on my chapters. And as a reward for being productive, I now get to… go to the gym…?!

What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companies—who secure £Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of culture—is mainly what it says about capital’s engagement with books

The writing (editing) week begins again: diary check, word count check, tea, annotated manuscript and notebook. App blocker about to come into effect. There will be serious PROGRESS this week ✍️ See you anon, #Bluesky ✨

Got one of those app blocking focus tools for my phone, and devastated to say it’s already done wonders for my productivity, reading time and mental health 🙄 So I might be quieter on #Booksky for a bit, but I could not miss #Caturday and the chance to post this spotty fuzzy belly 😍

Morning #Booksky! Taking my writing life on the road today, carrying a heavy manuscript, words to read, notes to make. Hoping a change of scenery will shake some things loose ✍️📚

Just sitting here daydreaming (eve-dreaming?) about the Arthurian story I want to write my way inside next… Should it be the easier outlined one, or the daunting, exciting, wildly ambitious forbidden one? ❤️‍🔥⚔️👀

Clearly he is reading my pages and finding them wanting, expecting harsh critique any minute

Not to tempt fate, but I think I have just had an epiphany solving the major plot problem in my book that has been plaguing me for an entire YEAR WHAT A DAY 🙌 #writing #Booksky

She’s not ready to get up and start the day yet, and neither am I 🫠

All I want for Christmas is to be able to switch off individual reposts, Bluesky PLEASE

They sleep while I work 🤨 (Note also the villain kitten squeezing the dog into the smallest possible space)

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day 5 💙📚 #booksky #books #BookChallenge

Why is it that I can merrily write hundreds of thousands of words for one story, but ask me for a thirty word quote for a book I have literally just read and it will take me FOREVER to compose 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good morning #Booksky! Slow start on this icy day by having an extra cup of tea and letting myself finish the book I’m reading before I march back into the editing trenches, as a treat

Best #Booksky Starter Pack I have been in yet. Sorry to all the others, but CATS 😻

Lots of announcements this week! Today, I’m celebrating another book birthday for the first in my Morgan le Fay trilogy, published in Spanish as MI NOMBRE ES MORGANA 💚🔥 Delighted to have Morgan on bookshelves in another language, and can’t wait to see how far she travels! 🙌 #Booksky

The unrepentant face of a villain who will not keep his big paws off the laptop touchpad, no matter how many times he is told

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. Day 4 💙📚 #booksky #books #BookChallenge

Good morning to all my new followers! Shall we play the 5 authors we’ve read 5 or more books of to celebrate #Booksky taking off? Here’s mine… Hilary Mantel Charles Dickens Elizabeth Jane Howard Anita Brookner Raymond Chandler

OK, logging off for a bit because the overwhelm is back and I need to get some serious editing done this week. If you see me here #Booksky, chase me away with sword and shield please ⚔️
