Sitting between projects when they only reflect back pindrop silence is excruciating. But then I remember I'm a writer and I have the next story to write. I sit at my desk and the voices in my head fill the silence.

My WIP as a warning label ⚠️
May contain dead ancestors, twisted minds matriarchs, toxic mother/daughter relationships, stalkers, cheaters, abusers, so much murder, generational trauma, a loveable himbo romantic interest.
Your turn!

Added 12K words to the speculative women's fic (calling it GoddessWIP) in a week. Wrote a query for it still in draft 1. Posted on a qcrit forum. Blew up. And now I have DMs to deal with. This is a good fucking problem to have.

Sketchbook kinda day. Windy, not rare, I do love. Coffee, congee and muscle injury. Which means I will be spending this weekend writing the weird family saga #WIP about merciless matriarchs, and that's all I'm doing. Joy!

A meaty sausage roll, strawberries, old magazines, a new book and a handful of hand-stitched chapbooks to read, the wind howls outside, one more chapter of the new story to write yet.

What is your absolute favourite thing to do as a writer? I find that I produce the best stories when I edit, but I know writers who are excellent from the get go, and then those that write banger characters.

I am currently entwined in an ungodly cycle of submissions, rejections, acceptances, more submissions, more rejections, ghosting, ghosting, ghosting, and I just want to get back to making pretty stories.
