The two approaches are not mutually exclusive it seems 🤣

I love this stuff - all the methods. I write to myself in a chatty way, either by hand or on a word doc, discussing (with myself!) what the problems are and what the solutions could be...yeah, nit sure I should be admitting this 🤣 #ukteenchat

It's like - what a great sweater! Now if you could just unpick the middle, add in some stripes, change the cuffs, and make it a size or two smaller? Weirdly, I still prefer it to the first draft! #ukteenchat

Emma et al! Thank you so much for letting me waffle about my book. It has been wonderful to chat with you all. I'm grinning like an idiot at my computer screen right now 😁 #ukteenchat

This is a bit different to the times prize. I was asked if I'd like to chat about aging up the MC so it involved more discussion and going back to the drawing board - but couldn't quite believe it when my revision hit the mark. I got the email when I was in Italy and had spent day in Rome!

There’s definitely luck in publishing, so do what you can to meet it halfway–join a crit group, take courses, enter comps, read lots, try writing for different age groups. Livia actually started as a middle grade but I was able to revise and resubmit after chat with editor. #ukteenchat #liviainrome

Well I wish you all that right-book-right-person-right-time luck! Took me ages, and was thanks to chicken house open coop comp in the end! #ukteenchat

Another teen romance 💕 I had to do a lot more research for this one though, as we are heading to venice! It's a standalone but kind of an unrelated cousin if that a makes sense? 🤔 I'll hopefully be able to share more soon though. #ukteenchat

The beauty of Italy is every area and region has something different to offer. The range is incredible #ukteenchat

Coffee and sweet treats are the only constants ☕️🍪Everything else depends on life, deadlines, and ultimately my young bosses (aka my two daughters). I write in the car, in cafés, on the sofa or in bed at home...almost anywhere but a desk! #ukteenchat

In the middle. Planster? I spend a bit of time on a synopsis for the big picture and overall shape, but that's as detailed as it gets. Once I know what the character wants, what's in their way, and where to end up, I claw my way through a first draft. HATE first drafts! #ukteenchat #liviainrome
