My autumn newsletter will be out in a couple of weeks, where I discuss the use of language and how it can influence a story.

Please sign up via my website (julescory-author.co.uk) if you haven't already done so, and post any questions you would like answered in the comments.

Another amazing session from @britfantasysoc.bsky.social, this time on writing fights.

Such an interesting, interactive session, and confirmation from @stewarthotston.com that you don't need to know how to fight to write emotive, thrilling fight scenes. And he would know.

Another fabulous day at the troubador.co.uk self-publishing conference. Excellent speakers that soothe the (sometimes... always 🤔) self-doubt of authors and the (always) joy of meeting like-minded souls... and talking books all day. 😊📚 Thank you to all involved. 🤩

That feeling when you read a book too fast because it's really good, and then finish it too soon, and you only have yourself to blame 🥺

Spent a wonderful day at @redwingsuk.bsky.social bookfest talking books, books and more books. Such inspirational speakers, particularly the panel on the highs and lows of getting published. Thank you to @nicolaknightwrites.bsky.social and her team for organising a delightful day.

Being around water always makes me happy 😊

Sir Ian McKellen on David Tennant does a podcast... 'I was running alongside Hamlet, telling the audience what to see, rather than inhabiting him.'

Good advice for writers - let the characters tell their own story, the readers will take from it what they need.

PSA - my Spring newsletter is out next week.

For the random musings of a wordsmith - talking all things writing, reading and finding inspiration - recommendations for your TBR pile, and the occasional free giveaway, subscribe via the link at the bottom of my website.

Amazon has The Druid on offer. 6 quid! Bargain. 😁

Wow! They've even pirated my work. A nobody! 😡 Not sure whether to be flattered or not, definitely not helped my hatred of AI. 🤬

So... The 1st draft of the new project is done. 🎉 The story is complete and set in stone, kinda. Now for the editing to make it vaguely professional. 😊

What an incredible day. Thank you to all involved with the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social day on creating characters. Such a wealth of information and inspiration so generously shared. 🤩🤯

Solstice blessings - especially to those who suffer from the darker days.

Always get a 'squee' moment when someone else posts about my books - even if it is my wonderful publishers 😍

When you want to write but have to adult 🥺
