Explain a book badly:

A guy follows his crush across the world, only for them to throw away the ring instead of proposing.

Writers, how would your plot sound?

Great to see Dabble's statement regarding AI. A lot of my writers are concerned about AI - especially with Google and Microsoft bringing in worrying AI policies, with no opt-out option.

- Create social media posts
- Read a prospective client's work
- Work on editing my novel
- Panic that I'm an imposter
- Drink tea
- Carry on

Sorting out my bookshelf for the first time in months. I'd like to say I do this regularly, but I don't. #bookdragon

So, #nanowrimo is closing down. I can't say I'm surprised.

I'm not exactly sad about the organisation, but I think the message is still needed.

The month proved that writing a novel is achievable. So I want to keep that belief going - if you have an idea, write it down, get it drafted.

So I'm offering a free 30-min 1-on-1 marketing drop-in for writers. Only til 4th April so spaces are limited.

One of my clients is published under Twisted Fate Publishing, based in Yorkshire. I know they're accepting submissions and specialise in spec/horror...
