Why is it when you follow people in the book services industry, they immediately consider that an open invitation to hit your dms with a sales message? Or a fake… ‘hello, how are you’ which we all know will quickly lead to the sales pitch…😒
Time to hop on the
#writerslift
bandwagon. Going on holiday & want to buy some books from
#indieauthors
. I 💙rom coms, mysteries, thrillers, suspense etc, but could be persuaded by something ‘different’ if it intrigues. Send blurbs/moodboard/links etc. I’ll share and buy some.
If I end up self publishing (most likely) I’m gonna sneak into a bookshop and take a photo of my book on a shelf just to lie to myself that I made it big time. Maybe Tesco’s bookshelf too 😄
Just finished reading my WIP. Yes it’s incomplete at 61k. Yes there are a few missing scenes and some need swapping about. Yes there’s a plot point I need to change. Yes I need to add in the senses & more emotion. But d’you know what? It’s actually okay…

It’s so tempting to publish my debut but I’m aware if I hold off until I’m a better writer (a few more books in apparently), I can make it better. Not sure I can hold off though…🤔 Do you wish you’d waited longer before publishing your debut?

Hey guys how easy do you think it will be for me to write a children’s book for my nephew for his Christmas present, with no experience in writing or reading

I worked on my WIP for over four hours today. Didn’t increase the word count much as I was deleting and adding, but mainly reading. Feels like I don’t have much to show for it but it’s taking shape. The bones are in there now.

Not just in your head. If you don't have an outline before you start writing - you're not a writer. You're just an opportunist, pretending to be a writer.
When I first joined Twitter, I RT’d an authors tweet of their selfie because they had a cool book T-shirt on. I got loads of hate from her and her fans because apparently you’re not supposed to rt peoples selfies. And the author blocked me.

Don’t you wish that someone could write your book for you?Not in a ghostwriter type way. But in a ‘went to the future and retrieved your own completed novel and brought it back for you and paid someone else to copy it’ kinda way?
Who else scrolls down their notifications to be able to start from the last one they interacted with and work your way up chronologically so you see responses in order? It’s so frustrating.
Morgan develops the psychic ability to find lost objects but a missing teen is more than a harmless scavenger hunt. To untangle the teen’s whereabouts, Morgan must battle her own traumas whilst a stalker closes in. The dead are not as dead as she thought.

I released a heavy sigh as I took a break from editing and pushed my pen away. "Why must my characters always sigh?" I sighed sighfully while sipping my tea and sighing.

My friend has just published a debut and would like to know what to expect as regards sales. Is there an average no? How do they measure what’s working & if things are going as they should be or if they need to try something different?
Had a big hair cut today but no one will know because I don’t share my pics on my profile (except the odd drunken one). Just assume it’s cute and I look gorgeous and send me gushing compliments 💁🏼♀️
Selfish for not wanting to bring children into an overpopulated world where most people can’t afford to raise their kids in the way they would want to? You don’t have to explain why you don’t want kids to anyone. Instead turn it around and ask, why would I?
I was just called selfish for not wanting children.
First, I'm disabled. I can only afford to eat one meal a day with what I make. A splurge for me is sometimes ordering a second meal.
Second, I wouldn't magically get a pay increase to pay for diapers and toys and clothes.

I’ve been building up Twitter followers for over a year in readiness for…idk…when I publish my debut (through whatever means). But guys, what if Twitter closes overnight…???
What programme did you used to LOVE but now you’re like…meh 🤷♀️One example of mine is Judge Judy. I used to take my birthday off and watch it all day while doing a jigsaw puzzle. Now I don’t ever watch it.
