What Does a Writer Actually Do? We Surveyed 500+ Authors We asked more than 500 authors — both traditionally and self-published — what their typical week looks like. See what they had to say!

Interesting article. Particularly liked the comment: authors who have more than 50 books. 😳 Getting one published was a major mission! 🥴

My autumn newsletter will be out in a couple of weeks, where I discuss the use of language and how it can influence a story.

Please sign up via my website (julescory-author.co.uk) if you haven't already done so, and post any questions you would like answered in the comments.

Congratulations. Justifiably proud. 😊

Oh, and apparently you need to open the teeny, weeny privacy screen if you want your video to work. 🙈

Another amazing session from @britfantasysoc.bsky.social, this time on writing fights.

Such an interesting, interactive session, and confirmation from @stewarthotston.com that you don't need to know how to fight to write emotive, thrilling fight scenes. And he would know.

Do you think allowing MS Word to predict the end of my sentence and then deleting it to write what I want it to say messes with the algorithm? I do hope so. 😏

I'm not sure I have the patience. 😏 I might give it go, though. I could always claim some demonic love-child if it comes out slightly crooked. 🫣

My great uncle used to make corn dollies. So clever. I miss having them at this time of year.

Another fabulous day at the troubador.co.uk self-publishing conference. Excellent speakers that soothe the (sometimes... always 🤔) self-doubt of authors and the (always) joy of meeting like-minded souls... and talking books all day. 😊📚 Thank you to all involved. 🤩

Just received a royalty statement for The Bard. 😳

That little ole book has been sitting there for 7 years, minding its own business. But people are still discovering it and reading about Tallen and Kade - which is mind-blowing, and awesome! 🤩

That feeling when you read a book too fast because it's really good, and then finish it too soon, and you only have yourself to blame 🥺

Spent a wonderful day at @redwingsuk.bsky.social bookfest talking books, books and more books. Such inspirational speakers, particularly the panel on the highs and lows of getting published. Thank you to @nicolaknightwrites.bsky.social and her team for organising a delightful day.

Being around water always makes me happy 😊

Interesting example of the subtle use of language to reinforce an idea.

Sir Ian McKellen on David Tennant does a podcast... 'I was running alongside Hamlet, telling the audience what to see, rather than inhabiting him.'

Good advice for writers - let the characters tell their own story, the readers will take from it what they need.

If you put an infinite number of Brits in a room with an infinite number of typewriters, a lot of them would bash out a strongly worded letter to the council.
