Spent some time in my local cafe today just writing and drinking coffee. An alternative venue for my creativity to thrive. Got a few hundred words done of the opening of my next novel. Celebrated by going horse riding in the late afternoon sun.

Just published a continuation of Petrus' vignette on substack. See @stephanieamey on substack. Thoughts or comments much appreciated.

Writing the next vignette featuring Aurelius Petrus in my head... now need to get it down on paper.

I've done it... written a standalone piece featuring Aurelius Petrus (the protagonist from my novel 'The Edge of Empire') and posted it on substack... @stephanieamey

About to upload a posting onto substack... slightly nervous about it...

Couldn't sleep last night for thinking about my characters... not sure if that's good or bad. Tried texting myself the ideas so that I could go to sleep, but it didn't work. Now to find the time in my day to get down to writing.

Settled down to some writing today. Trying it with Radio 2 in the background. Not convinced it works. Immersing myself in the life of a Roman fort on Hadrian's wall as my characters struggle to deal with the aftermath of a horrific event

Spent a couple of hours in a cafe today... just writing and buying the occasional coffee so that they didn't think I was just hiding in there from the cold! Was good to be in a different space to do my writing.
