Publication Day for this little beauty! Celebrating Written In The Stars, the story that was first pitched in 2021 and is now out there ❤️ In this same week, I received some exciting publishing news for 2026! But best of all, was the hospital news that Mr.M is clear of cancer. Laughing, crying. ❤️

Here in Scotland, I am an electric blanket morning writer. These mornings belong to raspberry rippled skies, to the fluffed up birds, the crackling puddles, sparkly roof tiles and words pulled down from dreams. I am winter. Inspired by Beth Kempton’s #winter

Autumn glow out the window while I wrote a 100 word piece for a competition that accidentally led to me writing a whole chapter of the current WIP. I was back in the eighties and loving it 🥰

Proud of myself! I stuck with it! The early manuscript went through quite the journey: shortlisting with Penguin books, 1 to 1s, then lived in a drawer until I had the skill to complete it. 3 years later!!!!

Sometimes we need these little moments of peace. Later in the day the place will belong to dogs chasing seagulls, toddlers splashing in the shallows, dog walkers and picnic blankets. For now it belongs to the early risers, the wild swimmers, and the gulls. #scotland #thisishome

Make that x4 stories in the first two months of 2025! Two were subbed months ago, demonstrating patience is a virtue! I’m so pleased as this storyline is a very special one getting a commissioned piece of art. How lovely! More news when I know when and where it will appear. #writers

Three stories sold already this year! Sorry for the humble brag but writers know how hard it can be! I believe in celebrating every step of the journey, and my SM is a record of that! I may have done a happy dance around the room (my dog may have joined in). Writers - keep going! #writingcommunity

Good luck to all #pitchfest writers out there! I remember the feeling of "likes" and comments. It is wonderful to feel that support - to get a feeling for if your story is working. However, don't despair if there's no agent like. There can be many reasons behind that. Enjoy the event and support ❤️

X2 stories accepted in one day - what a feeling! Apologies if it sounds like a brag, it isn’t meant to. I am so relieved to start 2025 in this position - it helps me believe last year wasn’t a fluke and I can repeat that success..if I keep writing & keep submitting. Keep going! ❤️ #writingcommunity

Red Olivetti Valentine typewriter with white paper in it sits on oak table with a poster on the wall of the Olivetti Valentine and two other rizo prints of women - one says Love in red. Have a great day!

January so far = x 4 pieces submitted. Currently working up a new outline/proposal for something and at this point it is coffee and cough bottle keeping me going 🤧 so it’s feet up and dog cuddles today. #writingcommunity

A female hand holds up a teal coloured espresso cup above an oak table, tan leather dining chairs visible and a background wall with prints hanging. Large print says Olivetti Valentine and shows a red vintage typewriter and another smaller print is a stylised female face with the word love. Have a lovely day x

Good Morning! A beautiful sunrise here in Scotland. This is where I am writing - technically, I’m currently researching for a story. Even though it’s fiction, I try my best to ensure it exists in a possible place/time and that nothing jars. #writingcommunity #sunrise

A darkish room with sash and case window showcasing a peach, pink and yellow sunrise behind wintry skeleton trees. Foreground of tan chairs, teak table and modern wall art reflecting the early morning sun in Scotland. Have a nice day.

First full moon of 2025 and it’s a stunner (along with all the visible planets). My pic can’t do it justice, so look up tonight/next few days. I’ve drafted several stories & subbed another today. My creative mind seems to tap into this weird energy. #moon #WritingCommunity

A dark black sky with strong shaped clouds and a bright full moon with an orange corona looks vaguely sci-fi-like. Thanks for reading.

A sunset walk to feel the crisp air after writing a short story set in the summer 😆 It was zero degrees outside! Despite having to be wrapped up in gloves, cosy hat and puffer jacket, isn’t this worth it? My beautiful corner of Scotland. #writingcommunity #scotland

Foreground shows a stone built turret with a keyhole arrow/lookout window and old stone walls with sea behind in a lush orange sunset. The far background of Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat. Thanks for looking.

A gentle wisp of sunrise on the shortest day. Winter Solstice. Reflection and thanks. To all the “firsts” without my mum. To recognising good times. To love. To my writing friends keeping me sane. To the editor who believed in my stories. To the little wisps of joy. ❤️ #wintersolstice #christmas

View of winter solstice through the window. Dark trees and a pale grey abd blue sky with small wisps of peach sunrise. In the foreground hangs a glass star Christmas decoration. Happy Winter Solstice to anyone reading.

Late sunrise in Scotland as we head towards the shortest day. Last year at this time was very emotional as I’d recently lost my mum and I stumbled through #Christmas This year I’m appreciating it all. I’ve had more Christmases now than I will ever have again. Blessings counted x

Falkland, Fife, was stunning today, even if the temperature hovered around zero. Look at the blue, cloudless sky! If you’ve been watching #Wolfhall , Mary Queen of Scots spent time here in Falkland. I found some lovely bookish #Christmas tree decorations too. #Scotland

Jackie holds a Christmas tree decorations of a stack of books in a little shop window. Through the window you can see the ancient palace of Falkland in Fife, Scotland.
