I should gate keep but Bard Books on Roman Road is great for writing when most cafes have a no laptop on weekends policy. It’s a woman-owned indie bookshop with nice coffee #shopindie

My explanation to the confused people is: Is there a genre you don’t read? I don’t read horror cos it’s not for me. So why can’t someone else choose to not read romance?

Here’s mine: today I realised that a very minor side character has absolutely NO personality and that needed fixing.

Writers, what are some important lessons you learnt during the editing process?

My last character was a young and dumb halfling cleric. Nothing useful but lucky enough to still be alive!

Having a good morning because another side character has become fully developed in my head. She’s been brewing over the past two weeks and I can’t wait to write her being broken and put back together.

Elektra is a myth that can be relevant. It’s a play about asking whether we be complicit or resistant to the crimes of those who rule us; to question whether victims are still victims even if they enact violent revenge. Unfortunately conveying all this is too difficult for this production.
