I'm writing a psychological thriller about an obssessive woman, who has little grip on reality. It's my debut novel.

How do you cope with sitting at a desk all day for your regular job, then coming home to write in the evening? This standing desk is helping me - any other ideas? 🤔 #WritingCommunity #writerslife #WriterCommunity

Managed to haul myself out of bed before yoga this morning and wrote for a whole hour, undisturbed. Well, apart from Bertie, who kept licking my feet for attention 🤣 It feels so good to get back in the game. #WritingCommunity

At last - I've moved all of my chapters from Microsoft Word to @ScrivenerApp - yippee!! Talk about a steep learning curve - but I'm loving it! @writingoutlook @WritingComm

Writers - check this out! No more cold tea when I'm wrapped up in my writing - this little gadget plugs into the laptop USB and keeps my drinks warm 🍵 I think my daughter found it online #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity

I'm finding it very hard to edit my novel this evening - my writing buddy, Bertie, has a poorly eye. Bless. #writerscommunity #AuthorLife #writersoftwitter

My second favourite thing to do, other than writing, is... visiting places as research for my novel. I love this beautiful pond in the countryside. It only features for a few seconds in my book, but it was still worth the visit! #writerinspiration #writerslife #WriterCommunity

I love walking in the English countryside with my husband, soaking up the soothing atmosphere. Linda, my protagonist, needs this quiet village as a safe haven when things get out of control. #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

It's time to get serious about the book I started writing two years ago. There's always an excuse as to why I can't get on with it - but I'm feeling inspired after watching @BookwormVaught being interviewed on @ReedsyHQ #WritingCommmunity #WriterCommunity #writerscommunity

Thanks Suzan - I very much have my learner plates on! Maybe a rest in the garden, looking at nature will do the trick 😊

I'm interested in your views on this section of dialogue that I've written. It's a psychological thriller. Is it annoying to use 'gonna' and 'wanna' for my protagonist, if I don't overdo it? #WritingCommunity #writinglife #authorcommunity #authors #writerLift

@JanTuranLucille Caspar, our cat, is surveying me through the window as I type. He's probably thinking "I wouldn't write it like that...it's pants." Bertie, our cute Llhasa Apso, thinks everything I write is great though, as he adores me!

@rhursday This is my dream and goal! I find it hard, as my day job is sitting at a desk 9-5 and I only get 30 minutes for lunch. It's either get up super early or work in the evening. Tricky!

@EvelynBurve @ScrivenerApp @writingoutlook @WritingComm Hi Evelyn, to be honest - I'm finding it a really steep learning curve, but I love it! I'm barely scratching the surface of what it can do, but I think it's worth it. I can easily move chapters around, see a virtual pinboard of my whole book and store research in one place. 😊

@PennilessScribe That's fantastic advice - it gave me a giggle this morning too! You're right - work is work, but writing is my passion that I choose to do. Maybe a classical playlist could work - otherwise I'll start singing along (badly) and get nothing done! I love your username by the way!😊

@family_writing Thanks Jesper - that's so helpful. I always try to sit there for a few hours, but often end up procrastinating!! I really like the idea of a productive time limit - thank you! Secondly, I like the idea of sitting somewhere else to write, rather than where I do 'normal' work 😊

@SusanSavageLee1 Erm, no! I'm on 75,500 words and all the story is there, but it needs a lot more editing before I can start sending it out. It's tricky, working full-time and trying to get enough hours to write.

@LanaCwrites Hi Lana, it's easy to be so wrapped up in a storyline that you end up microwaving the same cup of tea several times, which is a rather disgusting habit of mine! It never tastes 'quite right' afterwards...

@bethanyhensel13 I had a good rhythm during April and got up early every morning - but by the end of the month I was exhausted. My goal is to write 6 days per week, but I'm only managing about 3 at the moment. Having a desk bound job makes it tricky to sit down to write. Just keep plugging away
