Forgot how much I enjoyed writing draft one! Permission to be messy, getting to know the characters and letting them take you on a journey!

Had another form rejection this morning but we have made it to the weekend, which means my book is still in the hands of 9 other agents, and I don’t have to check my email every 30 seconds! #amquerying #amwriting

Ticked my classic book off the list for the month, I did enjoy it but looking forward to giving my brain a little break by reading something written in the last decade!

Just finished the audiobook of Bog People, loved it and it has prompted me to picking up books by 3 of the authors, sorry book buying ban! #amreading #amreadinghorror

Query number 5 sent off this afternoon, feels slightly less terrifying each time. Now just to try and decrease the amount of times I check my email each day…

Not sure on this one, I thought it was a little fast to jump into ‘something bad is happening in the house’

Set myself the goal of hitting ‘novel length’ this morning! I still have a lot of editing to go, new ideas and chapters to add in as I go but I am so happy to have reached this milestone! #amwriting 💙📚

It’s fine to write with a hangover following the work Christmas do if it’s something your character would do, right? Right?!

Woke up at 5am time to edit.
7-year-old woke up at 5:03.
Editing paused.
5:05 — scream. She’d sat in cat sick.
(He tricked the 5-year-old into double-feeding him last night.)
5:15 — sofa scrubbed, child changed, washing on.
Now. Let’s write this book.
After coffee.
