I’m starting to get to a point where I’m getting impatient to finish the #wip novel. Not because of what might come next - that terrifies me! Just eager start next one 🤪
idea of writing more than 1 at a time is beyond me.
#writingcommunity #BookSky💙📚 #authorchat #WriteSky how do you stay patient?

Another question for you clever lot
In #scriptwriting, there's a thing about not having orphans - So an action line broken up by a page.

I've given a protag a voice imitation skill. But what voice wouldn't exclude cross-generation readers getting the reference?

I've gone for Darth Vader - Also bc I love the idea of a female Darth Vader voice 🤦

Had brother round for Christmas lunch. He's a published author - on his 3rd book. Talked about my novel chapters I'm stuck on, they don't work. Bro said, delete them - put any plot points elsewhere & he's right!

You know you’re getting old when: you get excited about buying a decent pair of scissors. 🤦🫣🤪.

What have you bought yourself recently that you really shouldn’t be excited about but are?

Starting chapter 24... 100 pages to go in 8 chapters of the #novel to #edit. Feels like a big moment - but suspect there is much to do in these pages!

I'm a latecomer to #Grammarly - not sure why, given the dyslexia etc - I'm stubborn maybe 😂.

But, every now and then it just loses its mind... 👇
