Caitlin Mahony @caitlinmahony.bsky.social · 12/02/2026It's bizarre going back to the start of the first draft of the novel and seeing a caricature of the character you have come to know and love (through writing the whole story) behaving in all the wrong ways. That's what second drafts are for! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #whoisshe 3370

Caitlin Mahony @caitlinmahony.bsky.social · 04/02/2026A message to self doubt: Maybe what I'm writing is a load of crap that will never see the light of day, but I'm going to finish it, no matter what you say. #amwriting #WritingCommunity 3410

Caitlin Mahony @caitlinmahony.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Hi I'm Caitlin. I'm about 40% through the first draft of my first novel called 'Permies'. It follows the lives of several permanent residents of a caravan park in Australia. I'm aiming to write 5 days a week, 1,200 words a day. So far I'm more or less on track. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting 3172
