Astute observations on the current state of publishing by a senior editor. killyourdarlings.com.au/article/the-an…

@tonimucklow That’s so lucky to have had a feline friend who was so loyal :)

@KateMurdoch3 I had a cat who was like that. She stayed beside me in bed the whole time I had stomach flu. She even laid with me on the cold tile floor of the bathroom. She was a good little nurse. I hope she is in heaven keeping someone happy.😸

I’ve been stuck in bed unwell and the devotion of my dog is next level. She’s normally active, but she’s kept vigil nestled beside me for 3 days, like a canine bolster cushion.

@Sara_Writes1 I do both, edit as I go and afterwards

Is it better to write and edit as you go along? Or just write until it’s done and then go back through it?

@lhallwriter Read as much as you write. Back yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others because your consciousness (and what it creates) is unique to you.

In just one sentence, what advice would you give to someone just starting their writing journey?

This article nails the predicament the world has found itself in. 'The digital revolution has shattered that mirror, and now the public inhabits those broken pieces of glass.' theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@RachLouDriscoll I'm staying too. It will continue to evolve as a platform, hopefully for the better.

For the record, I’m not going anywhere. No need to mix books and politics imo. I’m still getting plenty of engagement on here and I’ve worked hard to build my following. If you aren’t staying, then my insta handle is: rachel.louise.driscoll But please stay! #HistoryWriters

It’s taken four years of soft campaigning, patience and persistence. And I have to congratulate her. Our dog is finally snoozing in our bed every night.

@GingerGorman Be mansplained to.

1/2 Women over 40! What are all the things you suddenly NEVER want to do again? This is a question for my next book. So far women have said... Work for money Listen to anyone tell you anything Learn any new technology Parenting Care for animals

@susanfranciswr1 That's so horrible. Hope you bullet stared him.

I’m a huge art lover. But it blows my mind that the Vic state government are spending 22 mil on a bunny sculpture when they’re so deeply in debt.

There's a formula for a series that gets cloned on streaming now where an ultra wealthy, slightly or very dysfunctional family get together, then someone gets murdered. Usually Our Nic is a cast member. And when I see these shows I'm ALL IN🤗

@LizStrout Yes please! Can't wait to read this ❤️

My publisher made this lovely little trailer to announce my new book, TELL ME EVERYTHING, out TOMORROW in the US! It has *diagrams* — well, one diagram. That tells you what it's all about. #tellmeeverything

Australia has a nationwide shortage of HRT. Can you imagine the uproar if men had to go through years of insomnia, mood swings and apathy and had no means of relieving it? I think the supply problem would be fixed within weeks.

@vic_reader @scribepub Congratulations! 🙌 🥂

@_annatx Absolutely loved it, lots of cultural references and so French. Style, history, chansons, beauty.

I’m actually embarrassed on the behalf of France, this is going down as the worst opening ceremony in history. #OpeningCeremony #OlympicGames

If you opened your suitcase to damp clothes:

@stephenRB4 That's appalling :/

I’m not one for naming and shaming, but this is already all over Twitter so… Literary agents being literary agents again. A client of mine had a similar experience this year with a publishing house rejecting their query but subsequently stealing their idea.
