Feeling a little sleepy after writing some words and editing. Was puppysitting, and this samoyed never tires. She wakes up the moment you move. A good way to get even more words into the laptop!!! #writingcommunity

A pretty white samoyed puppy lies on a sofa with her little tongue hanging out and her eyes closed. There is a plant in the background and a green chair but the best bit of the photo is the fluffy white puppy. Have a good day!

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 🥰

Thank you! The journey was quite the thing and I’ve written a whole post on Substack about it. I was surprised how much I was able to be guided by that early draft - once the time had passed and I could see it clearly. Wish I’d done it sooner! But glad I’ve done it 👍

Jackie Morrison @jackiemorrison.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

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!!!!

Need a hug? Here’s Monty dog channelling autumn, all wrapped up in the huge blanket his gran knitted in her final year here. Cuppa, book, cuddle? Yes please x x

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

A walk down to the beach is always a good idea. I’m so lucky the east coast of Scotland is my home ❤️ Resting following publication of my pocket novel The Sweetest Thing which features coastal Scotland, Orkney and Italy. #scotland

Final read through ahead of submission to my editor. Top Tip: I do this on Kindle as my brain reads my own work differently there as I’ve written it on PC and laptop. Have you tried this? AND…submitted. #fictionfriday #scotland #writers

Oh that’s such a shame. Luckily we had wild garlic here too. There are pretty wild swathes in the woodland and I hope they stay that way. Fingers crossed.

Time to go to the bluebell woods next to the sea! Enjoy 😍 #scotland #bluebells

Yes. My kids were never offered such vaccines (born late 80s/early 90s) in UK & one contracted super glottitis as a university student. Luckily an eagle eyed hospital Dr stuck a camera up my son’s nose as son couldn’t talk/was choking. Wasn’t aware how rare that condition might now be.

Jackie Morrison @jackiemorrison.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

My son got this (university age) & it was missed by several Doctors who just saw inflamed tonsils. In hospital after drooling/choking, they stuck a camera in via his nose to discover super epiglottitis. Thanks goodness in time for antibiotics to work.

A most glorious day yesterday in the historic area of Dysart in Scotland. I am so lucky to have this on my doorstep. The sounds of the waves was comforting. #scotland

Thank you. A very nice surprise as it was subbed last year! 🥰

Jackie Morrison @jackiemorrison.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

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
