I ate biscuits for breakfast.

Because I can.
Because I'm an adult.

And in my latest edition of AI could never...

I've somehow managed to make a typo that's turned a relaxing and family-friendly park into something rather more... filthy.

Suppose it kinda suits my brand as a romance writer and editor. 😂🤣

Does it take everybody else most of the next day to recover from a tour stop, too, or am I just old? #skywriters #writingcommunity

Today I'm holed up in my office stress testing second manuscript ideas. Is it a little premature? Sure, but it does feel nice to be writing and thinking about writing again for a few hours instead of selling and thinking about selling. #skywriters

I finished my draft, which means the whole trilogy is 3rd draft+ now, and I don't know whether to celebrate or cry. This journey is like climbing a mountain where every milestone reveals another higher peak ahead, and I love my story but I have no idea what I'm doing 🥲✍🏻 #SkyWriters #WritingCommunity

“Regret doesn’t help, you know,” Elm replied softly. “Murder’s its own baggage without you adding to it. Better to leave it behind.” “It won’t stay there though, right?” he smirked. “No, but it’ll take time to catch up to you,” laughed Elm. “And you can do some living in the spaces between regrets.” “I don’t understand.” “Nah,” Elm agreed. “Me neither.”

Monday 2 November 2026: Tidying up
I’m still tidying everything up admin-wise, but it is taking a long time. I keep thinking I’ve finally reached the bottom of my Facebook writing page posts, but then I hit refresh and there are another load. I’m having to delete stuff one by one and then keep refreshing to make sure I definitely got rid of the last one.

“Talyn!!” cried Sera over the comms. “Are you alright?” “I am fine,” she lied. “I was merely grazed.” And again, enemy voices raised to interfere. “All hands, Cherub has compromised our communications,” reported Hawking calmly. “As anticipated, she is an artificial with sight of digital systems. Commence anti-artificial countermeasures. O-squad, switch to line-of-sight laser comms. Boost data scramblers to maximum output. And Cherub…?” Talyn, swooping around in pursuit of the mothership, pricked her ears at Hawking’s gravelly voice, aimed right at her. “You are not as smart as you think you are,” said the enemy captain. “Make peace with that before you die.”

“Is it true what he said?” Elm asked. “About you setting a crewmate to kick his ass?” “I didn’t order it,” he replied quietly. “I wasn’t in charge at the time. And Therese was… She had her own reasons for lashing out. Luc’s Disciples killed a lot of good people in the Near Traverse. I should have seen what she was going to do, but I was too focussed on letting the past stay in the past.” “That explains his limp,” sniffed the bounty hunter. “And for the record, the past doesn’t stay in the past. Not ever.” “Oh yeah?” he probed. “Don’t ‘oh yeah’ me, I’m not gonna talk about it.” “R-Right,” he chuckled. “Sorry.”

For me, a new book begins with the 3-act-structure grid as taught by Sokoloff. I've written many books many ways. This works best for me. I love figuring out the 8 set pieces/turning points (or at least the first 4) then writing my way from one to the next. #writingcommunity #skywriters #amwriting

Writers' block happens to all of us, at some point or another.
How do you get through it?

Here are some tips and tricks, which I have accumulated over the years. I hope they help!

“I’d know that alien scum anywhere! It’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? Albright?” Marcus pointedly looked away. He wasn’t acting, Elm could tell. His arms were shaking. “Hello? Albright? From the Accord galaxy?” Luc continued, and his four crewmen chuckled with shared mirth. They all had it in for him, clearly. “It’s me! Your dear friend Luc! You remember…” And then his voice darkened into fiendish spite, and he gritted his teeth. “You tried to fucking kill me.”

The Theonova shuddered as it descended into the gravity of Arkay’s huge, empty ship, and Marcus flinched. The collar around his neck pinched his skin under the vibrations, and he rose a hand to touch at the pain. Then, scowling to himself in admonishment, he pushed up and rose to his feet. He bent down to reclaim his navy uniform jacket and tugged on his dark boots. If he was going to die today, let it be as Marcus Albright of the Accord. He could decide what that meant later, if it even mattered. Then he paused briefly to check his hair with the palms of his hands, nodded to himself, and then stepped out the door.

“I don’t know how I can convince you that I’m not,” he said. “I’m really trying. I haven’t used my abilities for anything nefarious, and you know I suck at guns and things!” “Like I said,” sneered the bounty hunter, “you don’t even know why. What do you think will be the nail in the coffin for my little team, eh? What’s gonna be the reason we end our gig aboard the Theonova? You think your techno-magic bullshit scares me? Talyn’s coming on in leaps and bounds, and she’ll run rings around your little tricks before too long. Your Mythmaker ship and your little friends from the Accord? Sera’s been here less time than any of your lot and she already knows the Forge like she was born here! And anything else you deign to threaten my team with, I can handle. Guns, knives, a tight fist. Doesn’t matter to me. I can end you any time I want. Violence, intel, money and technology will not be the end of the Theonova, Marcus. Only one thing will.” She looked down into her lap. Elm uncrossed her legs and planted her boots on the floor. Marcus fancied his vision was starting to blur, since he only saw her leg at the start and end of its movement. Elm sniffed loudly, and it almost melded indistinguishably with the roar of the music. “Love, Marcus. Love will end us.”

So I’ve completed the first draft of my next book, feeling good about that yet also daunted at what’s to come! Now I need to knuckle down and shape this thing into something worth reading.

Wish me luck!
