Every now and then it’s nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important. Posted by Jonathan Edward Durham

I’m lucky enough to work as an editor so pretty much all day 😊

No - they were all enjoyably different, actually. And all good. There’s so much talent out there.

Sounds good 😃

No, I don’t use AI. I write because I love writing, not because I want to churn out books. I love creating worlds, people, imaginary lives… writing fiction is one of the greatest joys of my life. Even if no-one read a word of it, I’d still write. #writingcommunity #authorlife

Thanks to everyone who submitted their writing for a free 1000 word edit in September. I really enjoyed reading your work! And I hope my feedback was helpful 😃 #writingcommunity #amwriting #booksky

I have a notebook for ideas but these days I’ve pretty much given up on writing short stories and I’m happy to immerse myself in my current novel. Those story ideas will probably never escape the notebook!

I think it’s ok… although it just took longer than normal to shut down. Maybe it’s plotting against me 🫣

sarahhealeyeditor.bsky.social @sarahhealeyeditor.bsky.social · 22d

😂 It seems to be ok so far. Just the same but with different colours on the start up screen.

It’s a strangely cosy book, isn’t it? Although I read one of her short stories, White Rabbits, just a few weeks ago, and that was proper horror. Too horror for me!
