Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Was about to chuck my old rejections away, when I thought it might be helpful to share a few before they hit the bin. Yep I’ve been getting rejections since ye olde days of snail mail. And even after being published, the rejections still roll in. I’m out on sub at the mo, so preparing for more! 😳 040
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Monday motivation: If you don’t ask, you don’t get. (And if you see a ground-level bucket of tantalising treats, you help yourself. Obviously.) 030

Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Really chuffed to learn that my two funny books got borrowed from libraries more than I’d dared hope! OK, my expectations were self-protectingly low, but a massive thank you to anyone who borrowed or bought them. Hurrah for libraries, librarians, bloggers, booksellers and bookworms everywhere! ❤️ 020
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 20/01/2025If you’re finding the doom & gloom overwhelming today, I recommend this brilliant news magazine to restore your faith in the world. Its quarterly issues provide a much-needed balance to the mainstream focus on bad news. Good things *are* happening - we just never hear about them! 011
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 06/01/2025If you’re feeling a bit like this about writing your novel, give me a shout. I may be able to help… Alternatively, there’s always chocolate. 😁 000
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Some great gift ideas for young readers, encompassing whacky inventions, pet dinosaurs, ghosts with goals, courageous hounds, grandparents and frenemies, and kindness revolutions… ❤️ #childrensbooks 130
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Having seen some exciting YA/kids synopses-in-progress today from CBC students, I dug out one I wrote a while ago. Capturing the essence & plot of your MS on 1 page is a heinous challenge, so thought I’d share this for anyone currently struggling to do just that. It’s not perfect but it did the job! 010
Tasha Harrison @dotdashtash.bsky.social · 29/11/2024This pic of my dog Arnie refusing to leave the park reflects how I feel about starting again on another social media platform. 010
