Just sharing a few powerful, #inspirational #writing tips I've recently heard.
1. Voice: Be brave enough to be yourself. Try writing the way you speak!
2. Novels: Complicate your characters not your plot.
3. Characters: Ensure they have agency. Have them ACT in scenes.

Last week, I had an hour long, morning Zoom call followed by lunch with a friend that afternoon. I came home, knackered, and napped for hours. Everything wears me out these days, but then I read this: shorturl.at/rblpb And it all rang true. If you're an #introvert, it's a very interesting read! 🤔

There Is Such a Thing as Being Socially Exhausted

Some batteries take longer to charge than others. There’s nothing wrong with that.

It's true, but it's also hard to switch off the need to share, to succeed, to gain external validation. I wish I didn't care about those things too. 🥺

@clarepearson.bsky.social Hi Clare. I could be wrong, but I think it was you who gave me my first positive response (& full ms request) on my first novel decades ago! Before you went on maternity & stopped doing adult fiction. You really encouraged me, kept me trying all these years, lol. So, 🙏😘
