I thought to myself, now the weather’s getting nicer, I’ll start riding my bike to work. I did a test run this evening to see how long I’d need.
…
Nooooooope, I’ll stick to the car.
TWICE IN TEN MINUTES 💀💀

Well, since I had at least (counts on fingers) four separate violent nightmares last night, I figured why not watch a horror movie before bed tonight. I haven’t watched one in a while. Maybe my brain is missing them 🤣

Starting with Baghead, anyone watched it?

Hi all! This is Calypso (Cal) in my magical realism story!

I think so, thank you!

How many walk away from this bloodbath?
The League is deep in the query trenches!

The meeeeemes 😂

#UnhingedPit #A #W
Think “Hart of Dixie” but with a ✨ of telepathy (it burns her brain when used) and telekinesis (again, burns her hands).

She’s got magic. No disability experience, but she’s a teacher.
Surely she’ll be okay in… life in general, right?

In the query trenches… soon

I’m hoping to get further in my querying journey before considering commissioning new artwork 😊

Thank you! I’m trying to get it trad published so it’ll be a publisher that organises cover etc 😊 I’ve got more moodboards / pitches etc on my page!

I’m the same! My attention span is zero, even if I love the book. My last 3 library books were returned unfinished. But I went & bought them because I knew I’d want to finish them later.
It took me 4 evenings to finish 1 episode of a tv show because I got through maybe 20 minutes at most at a time 🙈

Current WIP chapters are just “tears” and I’m crawling my way through drafting them soooo slowly 😭

The Friday evening contradiction of wanting to make the most of the beginning of the weekend, but also just wanting to be in bed by 7pm 💀

Technology is painful at times 😣 Do you have a preferred method of communication in the meantime? I’m thinking my email last month perhaps didn’t go through/got lost

Others: “What genre do you write?”
Me: “Um…”

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of horror, some thriller, some scifi, some whimsy…

Wondering why I woke up so sore and then remembered I did reformer Pilates for the first time yesterday and struggled the whole way through 😅🙈

#writingcommunity folks who work in farming/live in Western Australia!

I'm writing a country story & my MMC is a cattle farmer. I'm struggling to find more specific numbers re average cattle herd sizes for a smaller farm in rural WA.
I've learnt a bunch about canola crops though! 😅

4100 words down on paper today, and 40k into CountryWIP's first draft ✨

There are some controversial topics happening in the education space, inspiring my latest story. I'm beyond excited to get this draft done and hopefully query and get it out in the world, to spark more conversations.

Not my day job providing me with constant ammo for my current wip 😅😅

Man, I really need to stop writing father-figure characters with dementia. My heart can't take it any more 🥺
#amwriting

Hahaha because the inside of my brain is a feral unhinged creature who refuses to be silenced when I want it to 😆 even after I’d turned off my laptop, another scene idea decided to interrupt my night routine and there goes another 500 words down 🫠💀😴

😍😍😍 hopefully one day 🤞

Aw you guys 🥰🥰 my weird little cosy horror always felt like it’d be out of place but I love that you guys find it interesting 🥹

Just hit 30k on my wip after starting only three weeks ago, and well into act 2, today is a good day 🥳

Emilia’s for sure!
