Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see

An exciting announcement! Our first book will be published soon and here's the cover! #Septopus by @RebeccFung illustrated by Kathy Creamer Stanley is a 7-tentacled octopus navigating his way through an 8-tentacled world. #middlegrade #Loveozmg #octopuses #kidlit

So thoughtful of pharmaceutical companies to put arthritis medication in packaging that's impossible for people with arthritis to open.

Oh #Snoopy I feel your pain. I have nightmares that publishers want to do this to me! #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity

@CathylPowell Sounds like my kind of holiday.

@RebeccFung A few I read last year: Without Further Ado - Jessica Dettmann (based on Much Ado about Nothing); It Sounded Better in My Head, and Unnecessary Drama - both by Nina Kenwood; and if you like YA, I recommend The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim

#auswrites #writetypes #writingcommunity Valentine's Day in a week! I confess romance is a genre I don't read so much and I'd say I feel I'm not very comfortable with writing. Maybe time for me to stretch, any recommendations for good romances especially recent and/or Australian?

#WriteTypes 30: Never had one, but I've been to many. Mostly in book shops and libraries, but there have been a couple in other places too.

#WriteTypes 28: So many. So, so many.

#WriteTypes 26. I like to read and eat at the same time, so my favourite reading spot is the table.

@CathylPowell While I would prefer a black pen, there are so many blue pens in this house it's pointless spending money on a black one. So I'll be using blue (probably for the next decade or so).

#WriteTypes 22 Do your family and friends take an interest in your writing? Yeah...nah...

@CathylPowell I don't think either works for me, I need to pants a bit, plot a bit, rinse, repeat. I keep needing to remind myself the first draft is for getting to know the characters.

#WriteTypes 18. Somewhere between a week and never 😆. It depends what I'm writing and how well it's working. Short stories and picture book drafts - one week. Ill-formed novel ideas - never (though I always think I'll go back to them one day).

I made these shell displays this afternoon. Not quite right yet, but easy and inexpensive. I've had all the shells for many, many years. The larger vase was one I already had, so only had to pay for the craft sand and the small vase.
