300 words of darlings to kill, 6 hours until submission due. I forgot how challenging short stories can be, but it seems doable. #shortstory #amwriting #deadline

It'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

I did it! A 10,000 word writing week. Now I'm within spitting distance of the end of my first draft. Feels good. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

A 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

Predicted 44°C (111°F) here today. This is a short story I wrote a few years ago about the dangers of such intense heat days. (Send cool thoughts!) #WritingCommunity #shortstory

I've wanted to write a novel for such a long time. It feels great to be actually doing the thing. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Hi 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

The shower tap squeaks as Ray finally turns it off. I sit, cross armed on the couch. Pippa is sprawled across the floorboards in a patch of sunlight, oblivious to the impending volcanic eruption.
