Hey booklovers. Beta readers needed. Look forward to hearing from you.

Resources for writing.

It’s important not to rely on the internet.

It could cut out, take too long to load or in the apocalypse, just won't exist; we writers must keep on writing while hunting wild boar for survival.

So hard copies of writing resources should always be considered essential.

This is the tip of the day.

Change. It's both a hopeful word and a frightening one. But something I didn't know before I became ill was that horrible types of changes can be small not just big, like moving house or getting a promotion. Painting your living room, buying a new rug and today putting my desk back together all make my anxieties spike. I'm not really sure how to get used to small changes apart from breathing through them. And enjoying the completion of a project. I guess i just wanted to let you know something I didn't when I first became anxious. My desk is kinda a mess.

I feel after that last post I needed to post something...beautiful. I painted this a couple of years ago. It's of Joley my main character and the alien. The sunset is the wrong colour. But I was practising techniques. In my story on my alien homeworld the sunsets are pink and green. Is that a teaser???

Now ready to write. Chapter 28 not going so good at all... I LOVE IT

When I left #school I stopped #writing with a #pen. But 6 years ago #editing changed that and I #realised that all those years at school was #exercise for my #hand. To say it #hurt when I #began #editing was a #painful #surprise . Now though I can #scribble away for hours. #perseverance #exercisedaily #training #ifitdoesnthurtitdoesntwork #writinghands

How clever of me on writing this note to myself on chapter 18. How much cleverer it would have been to indicate which sentence at the top of the page it referred to. 😒 #writing #editing #imwriting #FollowtheSilence #FtS #clever #no #idiot #unhelpful #notes #to #myself

The end of the day. Finished chapter 17, again, had a cold bath, brrrrr 😨. Now time for Star Trek, a bit of chocolate and a big glass of water. 🖖 #writing #editing #imwriting #FollowtheSilence #FtS #hershey #water #cold #chocolate #startrek #🖖 #😨 #chapter17

Can you guess what I'm hiding in Mapperly abandoned train tunnels in Nottingham. Revisited chapter 17 today of Follow the Silence. Had a nagging feeling it wasn't quite there so off to google I went.Tip of the day: Adding small details to the world you create even if it's the modern world adds so much depth to your creation. I love these details in books. Now I'm adding to my own and it's really exciting. #writing #editing #imwriting #FollowtheSilence #FtS #character #developement #showdonttell #google #nottingham #bookresearch #research #worldbuilding #smalldetailsmatter #abandonedplaces #trains #murder
