My brother just uncovered this door in the property he's just bought and now I need to go straight over and visit and/or write a book about it!

Writing progress should not just be measured by word count or pages. Research is progress. Working out a plot hole is progress. Having inspiration or a breakthrough is progress. Writing a single line? Progress.
Don't beat yourself up. You're doing great!

I bought a picture at a charity shop because I wanted the frame. Just got it out and discovered it was an actual pastel drawing and not a print!
Anyone know of a L. Hobbs? I didn’t really pay it much attention at the time but I love it!

Did you know there’s a city of caves under the city of Nottingham? I’ve just taken the boys and we all had a fab time.
Now it’s home for some writing! May have to use these somewhere in another book at some point 🤔

Me to husband: Can you act out something with me?
H: Sure.
Me: I'm going to lay on the stairs...
H: uh huh 😏
Me: ...and I want you to grab my leg while I see if I can kick you in the face with the other one.
H: Wait, what?
I need to see if this scene is physically possible 🤷♀️😂

It will take a week, no no make that two, and summer gives the best painting light 😉

What to do when you’ve finished your first draft? 🤔 Nothing - I’m going to have a couple of weeks break and relax.
I find it best to have a gap between writing and editing, plus edits on book1 are due in a couple of weeks and I don’t want to mix stories. One at a time I think

apology for these possible reasons:
1. I recognise you get over excited & immediately hug you forgetting we're not real life friends
2. My brain can't match you to your teeny profile pic & I don't recognise you. No offense I'm generally rubbish at this!
