In honour of National Flying Pig Day (to celebrate the impossible and creative), what mythical animal would you create and what would it be in celebration of?

Love me some English breakfast tea.

Kris Tinleigh @kristinleighwriter.bsky.social · May 3

Can’t complain. Altho the fire is new. We used to freeze our butts off in winter.

Kris Tinleigh @kristinleighwriter.bsky.social · May 3

Yep. It’s one of my fave places to write.

Don't you love it when your writing shows you deeper meaning within your own life? Just had a moment of 'strike me dumb' realisation about an inner conflict of what I wanted and what I have. And, I love what I have more than what I thought I wanted. Dang!! #BookSky #Lighbulbmoment #WritingCommunity

How did you decide where to set your story? Mine was inspired by a mix of the soft edges of my country home and roof-top garden of a commercial building I used to work at in my former life in #PR #writing #BookSky It contrasts nicely with the other woman's perfect all white austere stone minimalism.

Nothing like a good cup of tea in front of the fire to get the #writing juices flowing. Homemade scones help too.

What kind of tea is your go to?

I'm a huge fan of #T2 Sticky Chai.

It was so joyous wasn’t it.

Kris Tinleigh @kristinleighwriter.bsky.social · Apr 19

Yes, it so does.

Kris Tinleigh @kristinleighwriter.bsky.social · Apr 19

Oh no!!!

If you enjoy reading chick lit romance with a strong female lead, then this opportunity is for YOU! I'm building a beta reader team to give me feedback on my latest book before querying. Interested? Let me know in the comments.

Enjoyed my first lot of #Haiku, thought I'd try again. This time about #writing

When I was a kid, I used to sing in stage musicals. It was one of my fave things to do. Sadly, I lost my soprano singing voice. Now I use my 'voice' tell stories in a different way - through story and #writing.

How are you using your voice?

I'm a #writer by profession. I love to write, it's been my creative outlet for decades. Recently though, I've tried #painting and I like it - makes the words flow better. These Magnolias are a first attempt at #AbstractArt.
What's your favourite creative outlet?

Love this shot of the sky framed by the trees. This outlook often inspires my writing. Glorious even in Winter. #LookUpAtTheSkyDay #Nature #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AustralianWritingRetreat

Kris Tinleigh @kristinleighwriter.bsky.social · Apr 13

One of the things I love about my country #writing retreat is its lovely garden where we still find new things each season. This is one of my fave finds. An old type of #hyacinth often found in 18 & 19th century churches & graveyards. #PlantAppreciationDay #Gardening #WritingCommunity #BookSky

I love 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘆 - it makes me smile that someone out there created this day just for me.

What are you reading today? For me: I'm thinking some Blake Pierce because his writing just knows how to grab you and keep you hooked.

Writerly friends, I'm torn. I'm writing a difficult section of the book. Should my MC's about to be ex-husband tell her he found her wedding ring or not? She hasn't said anything about losing it yet. And if he doesn't what will he do with it? #ThisOrThat #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

Yep today is #HugYourDogDay. This is my monkey-dog, Bailey - who so far has interrupted my #writing 12 times today. Big sigh. Just as well he's cute, huh!
