if I give into my creative hunger, will it ruin my life? Talking about this at Primadonna fest today and you can read more here creativehunger.substack.com/p/will-my-cr... Oh and very weird and cool and freaky that our cat has two white and two black legs?

Will my creative hunger ruin my life?
A hunger to create isn’t a benign thing.

What do you do if you’re in a social situation & you feel vulnerable? I get chattier like my character Lila. Read if you like edgier sides of Regency London, ‘scintillating’ dialogue (Cosmo & Good Housekeeping said it) & Bridgerton-level heat. 99p for a limited time www.amazon.co.uk/Unladylike-L...

99p KINDLE KLAXON ALERT! The first book in my Unladylike series that Boston Globe calls deeply romantic & Cosmo calls scintillating is cheaper than - well, everything! Lila always hides her vulnerability & Ivor is the most enraging man in London. See how it began. www.amazon.co.uk/Unladylike-L...

I’ve been toying with developing a non-fiction voice. I find it exposing and tend to hide behind fiction. Here’s my new post. creativehunger.substack.com/p/creative-h... I’ll post about female longing & creativity & hormones & the gap between what we crave & how we act so we can be in the world

Weird things people say to writers: -so is your book a bestseller -how are the sales going -it’s great you have time to write. I wish I had time for things like that -do you also have a real job -can you look at my first paragraph so I know if I should bother writing the rest 👀

I write because it’s the only way I can just about bear to do all the other stuff I’m meant to be doing

Great to meet so many new followers who’re doing creative stuff! Would love to know what you’re working on right now, little or big. I’ve just finished final proofs for my third Regency novel An Unladylike Secret set in Devon & working on a couple of ‘secret’ projects too 🫢☺️ (American & uk covers)

I have a weird take on imposter syndrome. Would love to know from writers & artists how it hits you & what you do about it. It’s one of those things that can hit you before your first book, at the dreaded second book & any time after but there are ways to deal with it m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux1f...

Hi everyone! So this is where everyone is hanging out since the thing happened to the other place. I tend to chat about writing and funny stuff. Would be great to build a community here too ❤️

Feeling writers block? (In the current political climate, not surprising.) Take the pressure off trying to write something ‘good.’ Sit down for ten mins and write something terrible, crap, mundane, horrific, so bad that you don’t want to look at it again. Repeat tomorrow. (hi! My first post here! ❤️)
