Ok, so, hi everyone! I’m a primary TA from Yorkshire who moonlights as a contemporary romcom/women’s fic writer when I’m not at school. I have three books out at the mo, two full drafts waiting for the next step and I’m currently trying to bang out a full draft of something new before Christmas 😴

I haven’t posted here in far too long. I didn’t die, just utterly swamped by the madness that is Christmas in school.

On the bright side, I made it to 50k words of my new WIP in November and I actually kind of like it 🎉

Getting to the stage with Christmas production rehearsals where I want to stick pins in my eyes, BUT I passed 40k words in my WIP last night! 🥳🥳

I blatantly stole the idea from those crepe stalls you get at festivals. Highly recommend it!

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 23

Sugar and cinnamon, please and thank you 🙏🏻

Sounds like you need a new TBR pile, stat!

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Not quite sure how I got to book 6 without writing a just-once-to-get-it-out-of-our-system but TODAY IS THE DAY 😃

Can definitely relate to the few bars! It’s like being stuck watching reels, but it’s the same reel and keeps restarting over and over.

Love me a bit of Dusty Mills 😂

Just sorted out our spice cupboard and reluctantly chucked away some nutmeg that expired in 2014 after telling my husband that wasn’t that long ago and that’s when I realised I was turning into my mother.

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 21

Absolutely! We don’t want to get too boastful or anything 😄

He was fresh here so still a bit swollen. His name is Clive. It’s been 6 years and he still cheers me up every time I see him 🥰

Bit like ours! Back view: rolling hills and the iconic Emley Moor mast. Front view: electricity sub station 😂

Just recently saw the trailer for Hot Frosty and went from ‘that’s ridiculous’ to ‘adds to watchlist’ awwwwfully quickly 😆

Sometimes it’s not even a song, just a sound which plays on repeat every waking hour. Or, worse, a weird way that you accidentally mispronounced a word, somehow set to music…

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 21

I’ve rarely had a hotpot but discovered that when you’re craving a cottage pie but can’t be bothered to boil and mash the spuds, doing the hotpot style slices is much easier and works really well! Kids approve and everything 😄

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 21

Nowt like a bit of Hendo’s in your hotpot/cottage pie mashup.

Do people elsewhere have this? You’re missing out if not.

That’s exactly what I’m after. People who genuinely love my genres but can point out the sticky bits too.

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 20

Ooh, I’ll try an Insta shoutout, thanks for the idea!

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 20

I am part of a great writing group, and they’re fab for random writing questions, but people write mostly very different genres. Facebook groups is an interesting idea, thank you!

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 20

Ok #romancelandia — talk to me. How are we finding good beta readers/critique partners these days?

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 19

It was lovely. Shame I wasn’t having a snow day at home to enjoy it 😂

Katherine Dyson @katherinedyson.bsky.social · Nov 19

I had high hopes for a snow day but t’was not to be.
