Just migrated here from ‘the other place’ and need some new like-minded friends x
Good luck today Canada. I hope The shitmess next door has put you off Poilievre and his populist vision.

Today I’m mining memories of my #indie days - #Birmingham in the late 80’s, to write about. Oasis market, Plastic Factory, Tempest Records, The Hummingbird, Edwards, Snobs, The Black Horse, Ship Ashore….vintage #NME copies helping me along.

Test drove my new hair out in Manchester last night and by the shitmess that today was, I’d say yes, blonds do have more fun!

One of them. Depends on my mood.

The cafe I am writing in is playing 80s music- amazing of them considering I’m still on the 1980s part of my book!

Today’s #writing inspiration is The Black Horse at Aston, #Birmingham 1988-92ish. Might be my fav pub of all time. Stuffed with indie kids- mostly underage, great music, upstairs felt like a house party. Good times.

Was anyone else there?

Anyone else have to lie on the floor on a hot beanbag to sort their neck out after a few hours writing?

Thursday morning coffee shop bliss. Weird how I can’t write at home if there’s any noise but I can write here easily.

Today’s inspiration is pretty specific. Any #Brummies out there remember Streetly Disco, a disco for 12-18 year olds circa ‘86? Was actually a top night out.

Iconic day ❤️

The big question in our household is….WHO ATE THE BISCOFF???

Bluesky please work your magic. I know it’s a weird one but I need to get my hands on something like this. Anyone know where to even start? Please share to get it out there and thanks in advance!

Anyone else get their inspiration from music?

Here’s what’s keeping me going this afternoon.

We all know the dream about the perfect workspace to write in….but I’m going to go out on a limb here and share my reality.

Does anyone else write on a tiny island surrounded by utter chaos?

Pancake Day. A bit of light relief in a darkening world… we will be serving ours with Canadian maple syrup 🇨🇦 If you don’t know about pancake day, please check out videos of pancake races. It’ll put a smile on your face 🥰

You made so many great films. RIP.

Today I am rooting around in my memories to write about growing up in #Birmingham in the late #1980s. When I started exploring with friends, we stumbled across ‘squares’ like this &never knew which tunnel to exit from. Feels like a lifetime ago❤️

I know it’s not all about the word count, but by sharing mine I’m hoping that some of you can cheer me on and help me hold myself accountable to finish my novel. At the beginning & end of the week I’ll post my word count and anything significant like editing time or major cuts. #writing #fiction
