Had a brilliant time at the @writershq.bsky.social brighton retreat today, working on my fairytale collection, getting in the groove and proving my touch typing skils.

Feeling motivated. Great zoom chat with Sarah @writershq.bsky.social and other writers. I think connection with other writers is so important- we understand each other when it comes to goal setting and overcoming obstacles such as procrastination!

We made this handy chart to show you how great we are! We'll kick your butt into action and finally get you to stop fucking about AND write the stories that burn at your soul and cry out in the middle of the night that this - this story, these words - are your life's true purpose ❤️

@writershq.bsky.social I have followed Writers HQ for years, I love their no nonsense style but this is the first time I have attended a workshop. I am hopeful it gives me the kick start I need having reached about 20k words in my novel I want to progress to the next 20k.
