DOWNTON ABBEY X FRIENDS
In 1855, the crème of British nobility attend a 2-week house party. Once the party begins, so does the madness! The days are riddled with impossible love, scandalous secrets AND an abduction..What could possibly go right?!

MYTH: CATS DON'T COMFORT YOU
WHEN YOU ARE SICK.
Last night I wasn't well when I went to bed. Lily, my rescue Indy doesn't like to sleep in bed with me. Last night she cuddled w/me over the blankets as I spent hours tossing,turning, not once did she leave me. She was awake the whole time, purring.

So, The Buccaneers S-2 Ep-6.
This is why unfinished books shouldn’t be turned into a film or show.
I think they decided to hire George R. R. Martin for this episode. Like seriously. W.T.A.F.

Love u Cathie!
Melts my heart to hear you feel exactly as I do🥹💖

How I wish I could get my butt back there this year also🥹Alas, my Romantasy WIP is getting priority.
Meeting you Cathie—you were the first agent I spoke to, the first person in this industry & how lucky I am for it. You made me believe that HEA’s exist in friendships too!💖

Oooh! I feel you, I’ve done this before too! Though, not ten revisions 🙈

Okay, Question: what was the most recent stupid thing you did while working on your manuscript?
Asking coz I did something stupid and I want to feel less alone.
Note: the wilder and crazier the answer, the better I’ll feel 😉

Been steadily gaining unwanted weight coz of bad eating habits. Decided to stop today.
Now, I’m hungry. Like really really hungry.
Everything sucks.

Worked on my #MS everyday this week. Got 2 and a half chapters done. (My book is around 40 chapters total)
I’m over the moon and ready to rock up this weekend with reading from my #TBR and watching movies with my parents 💪🏼💯

Being a writer is accepting that consistency is the goal we’ll never reach… or so I’m realising these days 🙈

Does anyone else disappear from socials when your nose deep in your MS? Or is it just me?

Tried to start working today (Monday). But then my ceiling starting leaking considerably out of nowhere, my haematologist then suggested I consult an oncologist and now I can’t work.🤷🏻‍♀️

My first real writer’s block —
I struggled to come up with an opening scene that needed changing. So I spent the last week, not working and focused on whatever I felt like doing. Today, I hashed out the scene with ease. Sometimes, you really need to, ‘give it time’🌟

I tried ads on facebook and instagram… didn’t work at all. I know I should do more but I’ve been focused on my MS right now and want to give it my all

Hey #WritingCommunity I self-pubbed my first self-help non fiction book last year & the sales have been underwhelming to say the least. It’s available on KU, if you have a subscription, please download and read🙏🏼

I swear… if I see one more ad on insta on how to turn my fallen/pulled out teeth into a bracelet, I’m going to blow a lid.
Even if I put all the awful things happening in the world on the side, the world is still going down the dumpster. What are we doing to ourselves ?!?

18k words into my MS and it’s already been edited over 8 times. Ready to move on… and how!
