What inspires your writing?

My books are inspired by people I know, places I've been, and by dreams that can only become a reality in the worlds I create.

I just realised that if I want my stories to be awesome and my publishing strategy to work, then I need to listen to my inner voice. It's saying!

***DON'T RUSH!***

Sorry folks, looks like it's gonna be next year before book one is on sale ☹️.

I never really feel invested in a renovation project until I've bled on it...😂

Tell me about the best character that you've created.

Why do you write?

Do you think there are any successful authors out there who don't deserve their success?

I grew up in a council house. We had no car and I ate free school meals.

I've grown up to be middle class, I guess.

Yet I look around me and no one I know started with as little as I did.

Give me a shout out if you fought against the odds for a better life!

So I got some feedback on one of my stories yesterday (not the one I complained no one seemed to be reading), I actually paid someone to give me this feedback.

Anyway,

Head,

Now,

Exploding 🤯

Gotta fix my story I guess, I'm just not sure how. Someone help!

#writerslife

So you finish your WIP, send it out to folk who say they'll read it and all you get is silence.

Is anyone else sick of waiting for feedback on their work that never seems to come?

Somebody just please tell me what they think! Good or bad, I can take it.

#writerslife

Another cover is ready!

What do you think?

Getting them all re-done.

Why?

Er, I guess I just love blowing spare cash on my books 😂.

I have a dream of setting up a book cafe, where you can buy a book and have a brew. There'd be a special section for indie authors too!

Does anyone else have any book centric pipe dreams?

Is having 7 novels as works in progress at once too many?

How many do you have?

#writingcommunity

Does anyone else feel like this?

This is me, probably 90% of the time!

#writerslife

Stop staring at Twitter and go do some editing!

(Note to self)

#writerslife

Do you have any author friends?

Personally, I don't know anyone who writes 🤷‍♀️.

#writerslife

54,000 words of my 106,000 word novel re-written.

#Writerslife

What advice would you give your younger writing self?

I'll start:

'It's a marathon, not a sprint!'
