In December I shared my novel with beta readers for the very first time. The feedback I received was overwhelmingly positive, with only a few suggested tweaks which are now underway. Let's see what happens next! #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #authors

Time to put a face to the name! 👋 I’m Amber Bristow - writer, rewriter, and soon to be deep in the trenches of the literary agent search. Feeling excited (and a little terrified). Wish me luck! #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub

My sister saw my post about finding my next author obsession and handed me these. What are your thoughts on Freida McFadden's work? 🤔 #booksky #readingcommunity

What writing has taught me this week: 1. If a sentence makes me feel clever, it probably needs to be cut. 2. Pacing improves more from what I remove than what I add. 3. The first draft is for me - the edit is for the reader. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

What writing has taught me this week: 1. Stopping mid-chapter makes it easier to pick up the flow the next day 2. Skim the last chapter before writing, not just the last few lines 3. Let messy dialogue land - worry about perfecting it later #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

I spent all of yesterday reading in the sun, and wow did I need it. It's the first time in months I’ve felt truly reset after a weekend. It’s a luxury, I know, but if you can carve out the time, I couldn't recommend it more ☀️ #booksky #5amwritersclub

No outline, no direction, just pure wordy chaos until something finally clicks and a plot takes form. Who's with me? ... here's hoping this isn't the moment I realise I'm just unorganised 🫠 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Days slip like sand grains, All in the hourglass of life, Passing, one by one. Like the setting sun, Our time fades, preparing For new dawns to come. So treasure each grain, before the hourglass grows full, for this time, is yours. #vss365 #Haiku #Poetry #5amwritersclub

Hitting the halfway point of my first draft has been more challenging than I expected. My inspiration’s dipping, even though I’ve got a solid plan for the rest of the chapters (for now, at least) 🫠 Any tips for rekindling that writing spark? 📕 #amwriting #writerslife

Officially booked a week off work to live like a happily retired novelist: iced latte in hand, knee deep in fresh flowerbeds, plotting future chapters. Friends say “26 going on 62.” I say it's pure bliss 🌱📚 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

What writing has taught me this week: 1. Clarity comes after writing the messy version first 2. If a scene isn’t working, the issue starts earlier than I think 3. When a character goes quiet on the page, it’s a sign I don’t know them well enough yet #amwriting #writerslife #5amwritersclub

Does anyone else get weirdly defensive about how book characters look when you finally see them in art or on screen? I didn’t write the book or have many details, but I have a full image in my head and feel almost betrayed when it’s different. #booksky #fantasy
