Dear Authors It’s scary sending your manuscript to an editor! You might not know this, but editors get anxious too 🙂 ‘What if they don’t like my editing style?’ ‘What if they hate me for taking their book apart?’ Just thought it might help to know this 🙂 #WritingCommunity

Of course, the year I finally ‘won’ NaNoWriMo was the year their reputation nosedived 😅

This is your reminder to get off social media from time to time 🙂 Read a book. Go for a walk. Eat a nice meal. Draw a picture. Hang out with friends / family. Write a story. Signed, a person who spends too much time on social media 😅

So excited for my post-birthday writing session! 🙂 Yes the weather is horrible, and yes my son only allowed me 3hrs sleep last night… But I have coffee, cake, a laptop, and love for my WIP 🙂 #WritingCommunity

Me: I’m a writer, I swear! 😅 My Google search history: - How long does it take blood to dry? - Which UK plants might poison someone? - How would you sue an organisation in the UK? - What are the symptoms of (insert rare and gruesome disease)? - How might someone obtain cyanide? #author

Thank you! 🙂

That’s so sweet, and such a lovely thing to do for them 💜 I hope you can get back to your ‘final’ edits soon! 😅

My youngest was awake multiple times last night 🥴 Despite that, my manuscript still doesn’t seem to be editing itself… Ah well. Onwards and upwards. With coffee, of course 🙂 #WritingCommunity

I’m heavy on the introversion today 🥴 Wanted to wish you a happy Tuesday before I disappear back into my books-and-coffee cave to recharge! #WritingCommunity
