I submitted a short story to the Dark Helix Press' anthology 'Once Upon Our Time' calling for fairy tale retellings. Fingers crossed! Has anyone worked with them before? #amwriting #amsubmitting #shortfiction

I made it into the Australian Writers' Centre showcase again! (3rd pick!) 😁😁😁 'The Footman' is a touching retelling of Cinderella from the perspective of her mouse-turned-footman, in 500 words. Read it here: www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/furious... #furiousfiction #flashfiction #writesky

I've read 34 books this year (audiobooks mostly) with a goal of 50 by the end of 2026. But at the moment all my brain wants is an old favourite...something familiar and easy. 📚☕️ #readinggoals #cozyreadingtime

I did much better this week, got over 2k words done, plus a #furiousfiction submission for August. I'd really like to get 3k/week consistently. #showupSaturday #writinggoals

I've done a poor showing this week. Between the busy day job and family medical issues, I don't think I wrote 1 word. But the story is still ticking in my mind, and I've jotted plot ideas in the notes app to use later. My goal for next week is 1,000 new words! #showupsaturday #writinggoals

I'm staring down the barrel of Act II of my WIP's first draft. I've outlined try-fail cycles with Yes-But or No-And beats. I need to get the words down, but I'm almost scared to join my characters on their imminent roller coaster ride! #writesky #writingcommunity

💭 of an #aspiringauthor: Carrie Bradshaw said: in NY, you're always looking for love, a job, or an apartment. I say: In writing, you're always looking for a setting, a plot, or a character. Right now, I'm looking for a character. 🙋🏽‍♀️ What are you looking for? #writingcommunity #amwriting

I read pages to my writing group for the first time today. So nerve-wracking, but they had lovely things to say and offered helpful comments. Should I bring the next chapter to the following session, or jump around to the tricky bits? #amwriting #writinggroup

Heard something very helpful on #writingexcuses podcast: the reason the second book is hard is because you've learned new writing tools but can't use them reflexively yet. Even though it's hard, keep writing. You'll get better at it! #amwriting 🩵📚
