Claire Bentley

RIP little blue bird. You didn’t deserve your fate. Thank you for everything, and thank you to everyone who made being here so enjoyable. My details are the same in the other places, if you’d like to visit 🙂 #WritingCommunity

@GargoylePhan 😞💜

@cbentleywriter I get that. This past week alone it's become worse.

I’m back from my social media break, and Twitter (I refuse to call it X) has descended even further. I’m going to leave soon. My handle is the same if you’d like to find me in one of the other places! #WritingCommunity

@nicolemarcina I love social media, but definitely good to take breaks 🙂💜

@cbentleywriter Take all the time you need ^^ I take social media breaks too. See you soon! 💙

I’m taking a social media break during August 🙂 I’m still writing and freelance editing, but SM is draining my energy these last few weeks and I need to rest and recharge. I hope you have a wonderful summer, and I’ll see you in September 🙂💜 #WritingCommunity #editor

@SusanGreyWrites Thank you! Hope you have a good summer 🙂

@cbentleywriter Enjoy your holiday, Claire!

@owlpost28 😅💜

On today’s episode of ‘why parents are exhausted’… Me: would you like milk on your cereal? 3yo: yes please! Me: *pours milk on his cereal* 3yo: I DON’T WANT MILK!!! I SAID NO MILK!!! #parentlife #parenting

@RosettaYorke @BlackHarePress Yay! 🥳 that’s brilliant news, huge well done! 🙂❤️❤️❤️

I'm thrilled my #horror story, 'How to Get Home to Aunty Meg', which is written from a child's point of view, will be included in the dark and disturbing anthology HEX coming soon from awesome @BlackHarePress! 🖤😱🐢 #anthology #shortstories #creepy #scary #turtlewriters

@owlpost28 Yay! 🥳🙂 I haven’t bought from them (yet) but my sister likes their stuff

Gift from my sister 😍 #WritingCommunity #author #editor #bookworm #amreading #amwriting

My 7yo has been ill and it’s been a rough couple of days 🥴 But now I’m back at my desk with coffee, sunshine, and a client’s manuscript I’m eager to delve back into 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful Thursday! #WritingCommunity #editor #momswhowrite #amediting #writersoftwitter

@bianca_writer So many possibilities 🥴

@cbentleywriter Don’t forget: Put that back!

Food shopping with children should be considered an extreme sport 🥴 ‘Don’t put your hands there!’ ‘Watch out for those people!’ ‘It’s one or the other. You can’t have both’ ‘Get off the floor please’ ‘Stop. I said STOP!’ ‘No you can’t lick the freezer’ #parentlife

@MorganShamy Yay! 🥳 huge well done! 🙂💜💜💜

I just found out I earned out my advance & then some for The Stricken!! Wow!! Thank you EVERYONE who has supported me the last couple months!! 💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤

@DebbieDadey I love research too! That’s the difficult part: knowing when to stop and actually put words on the page… 😅

This is a reminder (because apparently I need this too!) that thinking time counts as writing time. Some days, working out aspects of your characters and story is more important than how many words you get 🙂 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting #amoutlining

@DLTMorrigan That’s my strategy too 🙂 lots of voices in that multiverse wanting me to write their stories… 😅

My brain: what are you doing? You’re a terrible writer! Also my brain: here are 5 amazing new story ideas. Good luck ignoring them while you finish your manuscript… To summarise: my writer-brain is being a dick 🙃 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting #writersoftwitter
