This is Monday morning. I need to cut 1,000 from an early draft then write in a couple of new chapters that will total around 2,000 words. The precision with word count isn’t just about the total book length, it’s carefully calculated pacing and structure. What are you writing?

Great article @thetimes.com by @sathnam.bsky.social on the media's tendency to promote the celeb rather than the ghostwriter. (Ofc, some ghosts don't want to be acknowledged, but having celebs on TV pretending they wrote a book disrespects the craft.) www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

BBC helping to propagate this ghost writing farce

It happens all the time. A celebrity will appear on a TV chat show, or on peak-time radio, to promote a book they’ve just “written”. They’ll be asked about how they got their idea, how they developed

Writers: it’s the weekend. Stop adding to your word count & do something just as important. Don’t see the weekend as a break in creativity. Use them purposefully to get yourself inspired to start again. Actively seek out those things that spark your passion & set you on fire. This is the BEST work.

You get not 1, not 2, but 5 serial killers, Connie Woolwine & Brodie Baarda who (I'm biased) are bloody amazing, a remote hospital prison housing some of the world's worst criminals & a missing baby with a ticking clock. Seriously!

If you’re writing crime, thrillers, suspense or even horror, your aim should be to make your reader put their hand over their thumping heart and swear like a 17th century sailor at least once as they read your book. Just once will do. Find your “expletive moment” and make it sing!

Morning, Bluesky writers. As you start your day in the hot seat of creativity & output, remember: when you surprise yourself,you surprise your reader even more. Planning’s great, but leave space to follow an impulse, take an unexpected turn, go off the rails. Readers see so much coming. Hijack them!
