Great advice over on #ukteenchat tonight!
#UKteenchat Read widely is my no one recommendation. Not just what's in now, but the works that inspired contemporary writers. Go back in history, understand the context. If you can, read translated works as well. A whole world of different points of view awaits.
10, Do you have any writing advice or tips you’d like to share? @gabrielahouston.bsky.social #ukteenchat #BindingtheCuckoo

Well I have to have something for balance while I'm writing the next YA Faerie books 😳

This will be adult fantasy and set in the Kirelonia world but with new characters, and I'll be releasing episodes (release date TBC) before publishing as a trilogy in the hopes of finding lovely new readers 😊

Sussex has SNOW!!! I know it won't last or settle, but I asked Santa for snow and here it is 😂

From later in the series, but this scene and this entire plot line in general is giving me life atm

Hmm, let’s see… Try to write stories you’d be excited to read. I think if you’re feeling that excitement while you write, it carries through onto the page. #ukteenchat

I have seen the Faerie 4 reveal video ready for Wednesday, and now I am annoyed I said Wednesday and not Tuesday 😳🫣

I can bear it no longer. Faerie 4 announcement will go out on Friday (14th November), with my substack subscribers finding out in the usual first look on Wednesday. Until then, I will be hiding in Faerie if anyone needs me 😳

I am so so tempted to announce Faerie 4 early and have done with it 🫣

Looking for YA fantasy readers who want:

🧚‍♀️ high energy escapist fiction
🥷 spies and assassins
💔 bitter rivalries
💥 magic gift battles
🗡 touch her and 💀 vibes
🌅 multi-realm world

Welcome to Faerie, where nothing ever goes right and something somewhere is more than likely exploding.

I'm being brave and showing a first draft excerpt from Faerie 4 (the first official one!), although this will likely be part of book 3. It just fits them so well

Gosh, I’m a bit rubbish about this, but I think the best one I can give is DON’T EFFIN’ GIVE UP!! And don’t beat yourself up if you’re feeling blocked. Just go walk, talk to the blackbirds ;-> and things will loosen up by the time you’re home... #ukteenchat
