Nanny Ogg's philosophy of life; wise advice from the late, great Terry Pratchett

A boxed white mechanical gaming keyboard with rainbow backlights, a white woollen blanket and an assorted handful of coloured dice on a black floral bedspread.

I did however get my mechanical keyboard today (my reward for hitting 7,500 words, and also because my 30+ spine can't hack writing like a pretzel with my laptop anymore) and picked up some other neat things I didn't need but absolutely had to have. She's named Wilhelmina btw, and she's fabulous.

My day job is really sapping the existence out of me, so I've resorted to jumping in and out of random chapters and writing whatever sticks. This first draft is getting messy... I'm at 10% of my target words although whether I stick to that target remains to be seen.

What a beautiful cover 😍

Thank you 😊

Across the weekend 😊 I used to be able to write like that but life started to get in the way. I think that dip in output has really contributed to my struggles this year as I'm the kind of person that's very motivated by making progress 😅

I'd love to join please 😊 And to be added to the starter pack.

Thank you so much! Feels so good to have ticked that first milestone off my list.

Congrats on smashing your goal! 🔥

Congrats on your 5,000 words 🔥

Booo for day jobs. But hopefully you enjoyed getting sucked into adaptations 😅😂

Morrigan is a pansexual ex-starpilot who just wants to hold onto the life she's carved out for herself. Unfortunately for her, life has other plans 😅

Hit my first writing milestone today 😎 5,000 words, but that's 5,000 words more than I had this time last week. Feeling like the threads are coming together with this one though, and I much prefer my MC here than in my urban fantasy idea.

Screenshot from a google search that says "Help is available. Speak with someone today."

There should be a "writer" setting on browsers that explains away your dodgy search history.

Omg they look incredible 🔥

Screwed my head back on and got my plot for book one of The Tenacity (working title) nailed down + the first draft of the prologue and chapter 1. A small victory after a rocky 2025 where writing is concerned 😅

Office-based urban fantasy if I can get my head around it 😅

Thank you!

Got a few hours to wait for my car to be serviced so looks like a fine opportunity to find some breakfast and spend some quality time with my Chromebook. Will writing occur? Only time will tell.

Thank you! I dug into a few and now I have sooo much to see 😁

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Time for a thread to share #books, #novels and #poetry by #bi writers, or about bi stories, or with bi characters!

Staring blankly at this empty social media feed the same way I stare blankly at an empty page. Hi, I'm Steph and I'm a writer, in theory...
