Chatting about becoming a #hybridauthor as well as talking about my publishing journey and the awful truth of being a crime-writing 'pantser' #pantsernotplotter #crimewriter #murdermystery #newbook #publishing #selfpublishing

It feels so good to have written the first words in Solanki & McQueen book 4. From this little seed a whole new Jazzy & Queenie story will emerge as this one interweaves & merges with others until it becomes a full blown book. #pantsernotplotter #amwritingfiction @lblaUK

Well that's me halfway through my new MS and I just got to that glorious moment where I've started to think about how it will end, and what I've got to do to get there. Love being a pantser during this part of the process. The element of surprise is REAL. #pantsernotplotter

Can someone please explain why drafting an entire novel, pantsing included, is easier and less intimidating than writing the actual synopsis. 😭 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #teacherlife #pantsernotplotter

Just hit 40K magic on book 2 of next trilogy - love this point - means the novel is going to work and a climax is approachign #NZYA #pantsernotplotter

I write my first draft, create an outline based on the changes I want to make, and retype from scratch. The structural changes ar so huge at that stage, I don’t worry much about crafting perfect sentences. #PantserNotPlotter #NaNoWriMo

Day 2 #100daysofwriting Editing a short story. Started with an imagined scenario of a spin bike and a terrible accident. Turned into a relationship going sour as husband can no longer be a feeder due to the nature of the accident. I love the way stories evolve #pantsernotplotter

If I were honest, this is the only book summary I'd give my editor: 1. I have no idea what I'm doing. 2. Wish me luck! #PantserNotPlotter

Plotting on the train. Sounds so sinister. #amwriting #pantsernotplotter

Love it when my characters surprise me with something I didn't know about them. #pantsernotplotter #pantser #amwriting #CampNaNoWriMo
