Not all short cuts save you time. I'm spending ages manually correcting strange words like CuSamer, Samato & BotSams which have mysteriously appeared in my WIP?! That's what you get for changing a character's name from Tom to Sam & carelessly hitting "Replace All". Gotta love word😂 #WritingCommunity

Why is plugging so much harder than writing?😄 📚💙 Here's mine: Unlikely sleuth tackles heart mystery (Links in bio - free in Kobo Plus) #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity

Wishing everyone a cosy weekend. Keep warm! 🧤 #nature #photography #writerslife #Lancashire

What would happen if a girl went into a room she wasn't supposed to go into & overheard something she wasn't supposed to hear - the starting point for author #PhilipPullman 3 decades + 49 million books ago. Crafted by human #imagination - no #AI required. #WritingInspiration #WritingCommunity 📚💙

No plot spoilers, promise, but wonder if you're also enjoying The Beast in Me? #Netflix Got to love the attention to detail in the state of Aggie's writer's room. And the way she's so pissed off with anyone who thinks they know her just because they've read her book 😂👏 #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Though I've barely drafted the middle of the story, the final scene for my current haunted WIP just came to me as I was leaning forward to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. A sudden rush of blood to the head, perhaps? 💡 Time to invest in a waterproof pen & swap desk for shower? 🤔 #writingcommunity

Anyone else finding the season is affecting their writing? 😱 I spooked myself at 2.15 am the other night. Now I'm diving headlong into an unexpectedly scary tale of haunted things. Looks like the romance will have to be put on ice until Valentine's Day at least. 😄 #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Go wide with your ebook? Provided it's not currently in a 90 KU period, you can list it anywhere 🗺️ Upload your Word doc to Draft 2Digital & it converts to an e-pub for you. Just be sure to strip out any funky formatting for the best result! Cover spec: jpg 1600x2400 #writingtips #writingcommunity

Might have to wait a little while longer, but great news for Tolkien and CS Lewis fans 🐉⛰️ 📚💙 #WritingCommunity #Tolkien Full story on the Beeb: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Methinks the sky just wished us all a fabulous weekend, or at least the shepherds! #photography #sunset #writerslife #oxfordshire

Sadly, yet another scam to watch out for #WritingCommunity

Although the cost of the postage is only adding to the loss side of my accounts, sending my novel off to The British Library was still a bit of a pinch myself moment! So it's the one in Yorkshire but if you arrange it in advance, you can "visit" your book #NeverGiveUp #WritingCommunity BookSky 💙📚

Redundant brickwork Proud legacy of blankets Once woven and worn. #photography #architecture #brickwork #haiku #streetphotography

"It was one of those beautiful autumn mornings that couldn't fail to capture a nostalgic chill for the summer left behind. They could easily have lingered over breakfast on the balcony, but Matt was keen to eat out. It wasn't..." www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DV3WB6GF #writerslift #autumnreads 💙📚 #bookrec

Hope you have a chilled weekend! Messing about on the river looks tempting 🦆🦆 #nature #video #ducks #writerslife #WritingCommunity

🍎 Mystery solved! So that's who's been raiding the apple tree! 🐦‍⬛ #writerslife #nature #photography #crow #gardensky

Not long to wait now for Autumn's palette to work its wonders. Here's one I took earlier 🍁🍂 #nature #photography #autumn #oxfordshire

One of the best things about the turn of the season, is the excuse to tuck into comfort food. And anything with the word 'Pie' in its name gets my vote! I can heartily recommend Witney's Blanket Hall if you're ever in this neck of the woods. 🥧 #autumn #pie #FoodSky #writerslife #Oxfordshire

Ouch! Rejection really stings sometimes, doesn't it? Especially when an opportunity seemed tantalisingly close. Might take a little while to get over this one and require vast amounts of chocolate 🤕 #WritingCommunity #writerslife #amwriting

There's something magical about this bridge moment. I still can't believe how well my hand held snap turned out, taken a while ago on my old Sony XZ1 phone and zero editing. #photography #bridge #oxfordshire

So thrilled to report that the lights are on again at The Three Pigeons! With so many pubs biting the dust, it's heartwarming to see a reversal of this one's fortunes 🐦‍🔥🕊️ #WritingCommunity #writerslife #oxfordshire #streetphotography

Here's a fluffy cloud for #WorldPhotographyDay I see the face of an eagle But maybe you see something different? #photography

Love the dinosaurs and beautiful architecture at Oxford's stunning Natural History Museum #photography #architecture #dinosaur #writerslife

For anyone else currently battling with the Ingram Spark platform, repeat after me: "I will not be defeated by the Ingram Spark cover template!". 16 hours and counting, but I'll share my workaround when I make it to the other side. Don't give up - we'll get there 💪 #WritingCommunity #writerslife

😌👣 #nature #photography #tranquility #oxfordshire

Thanks, Brennan, for the #ShamelessSelfPromoSunday boost 🚀 And a shout out for the amazing BlueSky #indie #writingcommunity - that one extra Kindle reader really means the world to us 🥰 #BookSky♥️📚

Cor look at that turnout for the Lionesses! #England #WEuro2025 #Euro2025 #WOSO #Football

Fabulous foliage spotted on a morning stroll through University Parks today! I'm not sure if they're actually ferns but beautifully fern-like 🪴 #nature #photography #ferns #writerslife

Perhaps a simpler, more efficient test than the current breathalyser?! And you can try it at home 🤣🤣 #humour #humoursky #writerslife

Psst! Don't tell them my new hiding place 🤫 Happy #caturday #writerslife #bloomscrolling

Surprised to see me? Can't help loving the 🥺 Muntjac deer - even though they are renowned for leaping out of hedges onto unsuspecting motorists on many #Oxfordshire country roads. #nature #photography #deer

👏

🤣🤣🤣 #humour #humoursky

Fun to do if you're in #Oxford this Saturday... 🐇

Looking at this print, I can still recall the thrill of opening the BonusPrint envelope to discover my multiple exposure had worked, even if I hadn't quite got my head lined up after rewinding the film for the second shot of my newsreader self! 📺 #photography #analogue #film #nostalgia #writerslife

Just discovered the QR code generator in the #Canva free account! I found it easiest to add it to a new design first like an Instagram post template, then resize it to fill the space. You can then just copy and paste it into any existing design or use it in a GIF. #WritingCommunity #BookSky 💙📚

Must be #prom season in West #Oxfordshire ! In my novel, a character reminisces about travelling to prom in his uncle's Porsche 911. Having just spotted this, I'm wondering if I should have been more open to alternative, but equally fun, modes of transport! 🚂 #photography #steamengine #writerslife

Although I was a bit sad when the red robin tree in the garden died a few years ago, it's a joy to see the jasmine I planted in a pot beside it, giving it a new lease of life, rambling over it like a natural trellis. And it smells divine! 🌼 #bloomscrolling #gardensky #writerslife #jasmine #flower

Thanks for the purrfect #writerslift!😺 Pre-owned: A bingeable, suspenseful tale of love, loss and secrets revealed... Read now on Kindle and Unlimited. #shamelessselfpromosaturday #BookSky💙📚 #WritingCommunity

Gotcha! 🦇 It's not easy to snap a bat at dusk with just your phone, so quite chuffed to have captured this one, as it was literally running rings around me 😱. Sleep tight everyone! #Writerslife #photography #bat #WritingCommunity

Kenilworth Castle was looking brooding yesterday - a hauntingly beautiful reminder of history's famously star-crossed lovers. 👑🏰 #photography #castle #heritage #writerslife #WritingCommunity #Elizabeth1
