Query round 1... signed, sealed, delivered... now the waiting game begins #iamwriting #iamquerying

Second draft ✔️ Bring on the beta readers!

@joannanadin This is true

@joannanadin There are colorized versions available for some black and white films. I think It’s a Wonderful Life is one, as well as the original Miracle on 34th Street… although not sure that would help with the small town vibes.

@CharlieKieft I call mine both 😅

In the great cross-pond “Mom vs Mum” debate, I find myself being phonetically swayed toward mum lately, but it’ll be a hot day on Pluto before I call my mother that

@HFKaner Oh, I’m so excited!!!!

Who will join me this Saturday at @heron_books? @bristol_writing @UoBrisEnglish @JoanPassey @AmberParle @kayceepoet Please RT!

@osemome I started working on it end of September 2022 as part of my MA in Creative Writing; but to be honest, it feels like a completely different book from the one I thought I was writing a year ago.

@AmberParle How long did it take you to get to 70k?

Just ticked past the 70k word mark…only about 20k to go until the first draft is complete! #IAMWriting

@Carrie_Etter Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. Sending hugs and healing energy!

I'm feeling really listless--can that be the result of a second week of antibiotics?

💥and just like that, I’ve submitted my dissertation and can focus on recovering from COVID

@HarperVoyagerUK @WaterstonesPicc @HFKaner This is so exciting!!!

Calling all fans of #Godkiller we have a treat for you ✨ Book 2 is on the way and we have samplers! If you happen to be near @WaterstonesPicc today, come see us to grab one #Sunbringer @HFKaner

@HerringAli Also working on an MA in Creative Writing at the moment

@HerringAli Degree: Animal Biology Paid Job: Marketing/Content Specialist for an automotive tech company Passion Job: SciFi/Fantasy Writer

Can we talk about college degrees? College is a wonderful place to learn to learn, grow your brain, & figure yourself out. Sometimes we end up doing what we studied, other times not. Give your degree & where you ended up. I'll go first: Degree: Journalism Job: Literary Agent

@Carrie_Etter Travel is definitely a big one too! I’d also say if they hate something you love (on a passionate or core level). For example, you love animals and the other person can’t stand them, not for allergy reasons, but just really dislikes them for being animals 🚩

Best tests for potential partners/lovers/sweethearts in terms of compatibility? I think there needs to be some degree of mutual admiration--as @AmberParle puts it so well, "mutual awe", and I think you need to be able to travel well together. Others?

@PopeZuzi The dream!!! A years supply of books and chocolate in a little cottage somewhere

@AmberParle Ha, I wish. I also wish someone paid me for doing just that. And for eating heaps of chocolate. That would be nice 🍫📖

Realizing once again how long my reading list is… can I just take a year off of life to read all the things? Is that acceptable in modern society? #Reading #WritingLife

@kateverett4 Start outlining a chapter, adding bits of dialogue or images as they pop up. Sometimes your mind will latch on to a particular detail and the words start to flow. You’ll have to go back and fill in later but at least it’s a start

Tips on how to overcome writers block welcome I am struggling thanks xxx

It’s official, I passed my UK driving exam! Woop woop!

@Carrie_Etter For me personally, I had depression, lethargy, and felt really antisocial. I just wanted to curl up somewhere comfy and exist. Haven’t seen much info about post Covid mood, but I’ve talked to others who felt quite similar around the 2-4 month mark.

Experiences in the immediate time after Covid (2-3 months) on mood? Is there info on this I haven't seen?
