I mean... That definitely reads like you're now not coming to avoid the crazy lady at the bar 😅
Alas, I'll miss seeing you! Hopefully we'll cross paths soon.

I'm in Harrogate for #theaksoncrime

...I've been ill all week, I'm one minor inconvenience for deleting my entire WIP, and I don't do well in social situations at the best of times. So, you know, do come say hi.

Are there any aspiring crime writers out there? And if there are, do you want me to be your teacher and help you craft a brilliant novel? You do? Well here’s how to do it! But be quick. There’s only a couple of places left …

It's kind of awesome¡... Only issue is I'm studying for a Creative Writing Crime Fiction MA which I've just made very complicated for myself!

My crime fiction novel turned into a dark-comedy body-horror about a werewolf.

I don't know when it happened.

I don't know how it happened.

I'm so glad it happened. I'm having so much fun.

I've just finished reading the 10th book in a series and discovered book 11 isn't available in my country.

I'm having a completely normal and measured response to this.

By which I of course mean I'm hiding under a blanket and crying.

Me, walking into the Carribbean sea

My writing deadline is June 1st. I told myself that going on vacation to Mexico would be fine, obviously I'd still write...

Who wants to guess how many words I've written since I've been here?

Kitten sleeping on copy of Crime Fiction by John Scaggs

I'm trying to work on the Critical Analysis portion of my Crime Fiction MA.

Unfortunately, the kitten has found a far better use for one of the texts... I probably didn't need to reference that one anyway.

Someone commented 'i don't know whether I'm supposed to be laughing or horrified' on a scene in my WIP.

That's it. That's the best review I'll ever get. It's perfect.

If you're a CREATIVE, this should go to the top of your TO DO LIST. Act now. Don't hesitate.

Thanks so much 😊 can you follow me back so I can DM you?

That's really helpful, and it had made me feel better about it!

That's very kind, but I have a suspicion we may be on different continents! Can I buy it anywhere please?

This is a very good point. I think the course I'm on has such emphasis on being the best that I'm forgetting that writing is an inextricable part of me. Thank you 😊

Writers, I need some advice: what's the next move when you're pretty sure you're a bad writer and quitting is probably the best move?

Dragging myself through a creative writing MA is kicking my butt today!

Do other people get 1/3 of the way through writing a book and scrap the whole thing multiple times?

Boxing Day sure would be a great day to get some writing done.

Or, to platinum Jedi Fallen Order, again.

I'm sure it helps with the writing process... Something about world building and pacing... I don't know, I'm full of chocolate. Input your own excuse.

Female Anger in Crime Fiction Cambridge Core - English Literature: General Interest - Female Anger in Crime Fiction

I'm currently reading Female Anger by Caroline Ritz to structure the critical analysis portion of my MA.

I shot down suggestions that my WIP should have a male pov so it doesn't look too hard at a woman's rage... It's nice to feel like someone has my back here.

Why won't these freaking characters do what I tell them to?!

Lapland. Right on the Finland/ Sweden border. I've never been anywhere snowy before, I'm so excited!

Hello! Yes to the first two, and my first trip to an icy place will be in February so it remains to be seen if I love that too 😊

I've got two other cats, so I figured that buys me two more days before I have to confront trying to write the book again?!

I may have failed to write any words today, but I did teach my cat to catch treats with her paws.

Oh that's really helpful, thank you! I'll give it a go today.

Not great... I'm beset on all sides by plot holes and the procrastination is calling.

Whoa, how ever big is the task you're avoiding doing? This is some good tier procrastination! (And I'm totally invested, you've utterly sidetracked my writing day).

I was close to completely ditching the book I'm floundering over, but point seven is clearly the way.
Perhaps any time I find a plot hole I can fill it with cats.

Why won't this freaking book plan itself?!

I'm fine. This is fine. Definitely not crying much.
