Rob Perry

I’m Rob, writing my first novel - “The Last of the Good Days” - Two brothers, the London crime world that raised them, and what it takes from them. Expect me talking about the books I love, the movies I overthink, and the occasional dispatch from the trenches of a first draft.

@hwjohnston7 Do you read novels similar to your own for inspiration or read contrasting styles and genres as a form of escapism?

I think everyone should have book they read on the side. A book you want to take your time with. Your main book will be the one you breeze through and enjoy. #amreading

@stephenRB4 I live in UAE, so this rarely happens! 🤣

What’s your favourite thing to do on a rainy day?

@dianakpp Hi 👋

Imagine you say hi 👋🏻 and 99+ people follow you

The most frightening man on the page isn’t the one who explains why he did it. It’s the one who doesn’t think it needs explaining.

@TheCineprism Battle of the bastards comes to mind.

What's the greatest episode for television?

@Tim_Denning Terrible advice

You are not depressed. You just need to stop getting underpaid.

@AuthorJFuller If the next thing is the thing that is going to make you happy then you’ll never be happy.

I am trying to build the type of life i dont need a vacation from... it's currently not working.

@AnasuaWrites I’m around this point too. What are you writing?

50k words done. The second draft is going well. Better than I expected. So, proud to come this far. 50k words more and i would be officially, looking for a publisher. #writing #writingcommunity #writercommunity #reader #readercommunity

@lhallwriter Low expectations but the dream is real

The best thing about being an indie author is... (Finish the sentence)

@sunshineaston Congratulations.

i don’t have many people to tell, but, i have just recieved my final grades from uni and i have officially got a first class degree!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳

@authormadel I’m determined not to give up

@JELinfoot I agree with this.

Stop spending ten years on one book. Finish it. Learn from it. Write the next one. You don’t become a better novelist by endlessly polishing one novel. You become a better novelist by writing novels.

@Buruwanda1 I’m writing a story I’ve dreamed of my whole life so I’m doing that.

@RobPerryWrites Stick to the genre you know.

If you could give a first-time author any advice, what would it be?

@MarioViews101 How did you do that?

@RobPerryWrites Put your authentic impressions into your work.

@helenhelen77 How did you discipline yourself to do that?

@RobPerryWrites Сокращайте текст, чтобы ни одно слово не было случайным.

@HuevaToi Love this 👍

@RobPerryWrites gotta say, the best tip is to just write like no one's watching, then let your true voice come through. that's where the magic happens

@Fix_nigeria_ Crime thriller told across 2 timelines. Godfather 2 meets heat.

@RobPerryWrites What genre are you writing?

8 hour flight tomorrow afternoon. Can’t wait to spend it working on my novel. ✈️✍️

@Fix_nigeria_ I like this idea. 👍

@RobPerryWrites Use the senses like your life depends on them. Taste words, what's d colour of a smile? How does music taste on the lips, what's the smell of sadness, how many rhythm is in the body of a woman? Caress alphabets until they make you run mad and hit your walls at night. Then write

@horrorfan1188 What’s your favourite game and your favourite movie?
