Working on a big scary (for me) thing at the moment, launching soon I hope. It's almost like we're back in the days of Typepad, folks...

This is definitely worth reading. On that note of how you might spend $5k (if you had it) on your writing career, I'd love to know the development editors, proofreaders, cover designers, PR professionals etc etc that you've used and you would recommend - let's get that starter pack going!

If for whatever reason (#ADHD, tend to ruminate, anxiety) meditation isn't for you, maybe you'll like this too: I find spending some time looking at one of Emma's composition of lovely things is a lovely gentle way to regulate.

Who else gets this? Driving me mad today. (stickers by NeuroDivers on Etsy)

A picture of a large vinyl sticker lying on a keyboard. The sticker is of a white person with short orange-red hair and freckles, wearing blue trousers and a yellow jumper with orange-red cuffs and neckband. There are yellow and black crackling lines coming from their head and they're pointing at them. The person's expression is somewhat alarmed and curious and the text beside the figure says "I can hear your electrics" (Sticker from NeuroDivers on Etsy)

Found this fascinating, reading how both these authors write, and find their way into their work.

Calling all #ADHD Writers but particularly the late-diagnosed folks: what are your self-care rituals for when you’re writing? Also as important - what do you do for yourself when you’re *not* writing, or writing isn’t going well? #adhdwriters #amwriting #NeurodivergentSupport

Sticker joy! I bloody love stickers, I used to think it was bc of my now-retired people pleaser, who wanted all the gold stars. Actually it's because stickers are brilliant. Look how SHINY and gorgeous these ones are!

When the #gothic fiction starts to properly take over… (Writer’s Diary from @urbanwriters)

A diary opened to November 2024. On top there’s a dark brown vintage Parker fountain pen, and a small rectangle of blotting paper. Printed on the blotting paper is a ruffled, knowing raven on a branch, gazing to the right. There’s a printed credit at the bottom, Anne Nossack and her instagram account t is @kleines_p.

Today I also apparently have my IT hat on, advising on how to use split screens and the like. 🫣

Right, straight into Monday with a three hour Book Doubling session, client is masterfully tackling the edits she didn't want to start and I'm mainlining coffee. All is well with the world etc etc. (I mean obviously not the _wider_ world, but between our two screens)

Before I forget to say: I work with (mainly neurodivergent) writers who are stuck or having problems with task initiation/executive management around their writing. Not so much writer's block, as 'desperately want to write, still stuck on the sofa in a towel, cold and bored'-type writers.
