As a woman, your midlife crisis doesn't announce itself with a sports car. It's a Thursday, unloading the dishwasher, thinking huh, is this it? If you've had that Thursday or any other day, my book was written for you. #womensfiction #booksky #WritersofBsky #MoreThanThis #writingcommunity

Douglas Adams apparently said he loved deadlines, especially "the whooshing noise they make as they fly past." My next one is October 31. What’s the #deadline you're currently pretending isn't happening? #writingcommunity #amwriting #draft1million

Who's the fictional character you'd trust with your house key? And your life? Is there one? For me, it's Hermione Granger. Soooo earnest. So straighty-180. And ridonculously smart to boot. I love her. I want to be her in my next life. #fictionalcharacters #writingandbooks #Writingcommunity

I've just learned of the passing of Lord #JeffreyArcher. His #KaneAndAbel series really kicked off my love of reading epic fiction at the age of 14. Thank you. May you rest in peace.

So I have a confession. Sometimes I reread my own writing and forget what I wrote, then get annoyed waiting to find out what comes next. Vanity, or just my short-term memory? Either way it's a good feeling. Please tell me it happens to you. No? Just me then. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Happy 21st B'day 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 (pub'd Oct 5, 2005). Stephenie Meyer wrote it after she dreamed the meadow scene in her sleep. I started the series in 2009 and took me 3 goes to move past it being a kid read in my head. But then my family didn't see me for a month #booksky #TeamEdward #WritingandBooks

It's #Monday, and here's your permission slip to start badly. No-one's first draft is good. Mine read like it was written by a overly-caffeinated pigeon. Write the crap version anyway, it's the only one that turns into a real book. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Today is #DoSomethingNiceDay #Kindness. Yep, and the universe conspired to give me a long weekend to boot. Huzzah!! What are you doing today? Me? I'm practicing some self-kindness and doing some of this. #Aussie #Koala #TimeOut

Aussie clocks went forward o/night, so if you're reading this bleary-eyed and an hour poorer, same. The upside: lighter evenings, which I fully intend to waste reading until #sunset on the deck (my actual view below).

Quick intro for my new friends. I write #ChickLit about women who do everything right, tick all the boxes, and still wake up at 40-something wondering what the hell happened. My debut novel, 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴? is one woman's very messy attempt to find out. #womensfiction #booksky #WritingCommunity

Happy #Friyay - I'm collecting opinions. What's a book everyone loved that left you cold? No judgement, this is a safe space for unpopular bookish takes. I'll go first, but only if you promise not to yell. #booksky #amreading #WritingandBooks

It's #FirePupDay. My fur-worker doesn't work for the Firies, but he was saved by them. Does that count? He helps with the #words on #writing days. Actually, no. He doesn't. He belches, farts and is a pain in the butt. But he's my pain in the butt & I love him

It's International #Coffee Day, or as the #writers amonst us say, a day ending in y. My coffee habit has outlasted several careers and relationships.
How do you take yours, and how many cups in before the words actually turn up? Me? At least 2 strong lattes

20 years ago today (1996) Nicholas Sparks published his debut novel, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬. The bit that gets me - when we see Noah reading their love story back to Allie every day, hoping she recognises him just for a moment. Beautiful and totally devastating. #booksky #amwriting #WritingandBooks

What one small win you managed this month? I'll start: I hit up an agent. My first real pitch. On the actual book. #writingcommunity #booksky #SeptemberWins #WritingandBooks #MoreThanThis

Nobody warns you #writing the book is the easy bit (yep, really). Then it's a blurb, a pitch, a bio and a synopsis, somehow harder than the whole novel that came before them. If you're in next phase with me, pls wave 👋. We'll trek on together. #writingcommunity #amquerying #writingandbooks

Note to self: Borrowing from Churchill, lightly rewritten for those of us in the trenches: success isn't final, rejection isn't fatal, it's the courage to keep querying that counts. Also a strong cup of tea. Mostly the tea. Keep going. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Last September Monday and October's breathing down our necks. What's one writing or reading #goal you want to drag over the line before the year runs out? Plonk it here, make it real. We'll call it friendly accountability. Mine? Get #MoreThanThis finished, out and querying #WritingCommunity #BookSky

It's #Sunday. If you need a permission slip here you go. You're allowed to want more in your life without being ungrateful for what you've got. Both can exist at the same time. Now go do that one small thing this week that's just for you. #WomensFiction #BookSky #WritingCommunity #MoreThanThis

Heya #BookSky -ers. #HappyFriday I'm feeling nosy. What's the book you'd force into everyone's hands if you could? The one you get slightly unhinged about over dinner with friends. I need new material, help a gal out #amreading #WritingandBooks #WritingCommunity

I'm sensing the jiggling of bells heading our way. There's less than 100 days until we ring in the new year. KILL ME NOW!!
What are you committing to do between now and then?
Me? #MoreThanThis (D4) will be finished, polished & have found its people.

The most honest relationship in #MoreThanThis? Between my MC and her cat, Snowy, who hands out affection like it's rationed and judgement like it's free. Such fun to write. Nothing like my needy dogs tho. Do your pets deserve a co-writing credit? Mine are demanding one. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

A tiny reminder for humpday. You're the MC of your own life story. Keep writing - even if it's crappy.
Keep growing & pushing yourself outside your comfort zone. If you want to quit - huzzah, that's you rubbing up against your comfort zone.
Keep going.
