Stop talking about AI killing us, you’re literally giving it ideas!

The Winter Olympics unlocks pre-phone entertainment memories for me: sofa lounging, TV on, throwing a ball at your siblings for hours, toast on fire under the grill, and panicking that the car across the road was spies.

I know this is insanely niche… but does anyone on here happen to have any information on Dutch Pinks (pinck or pinque) from the 18th century? I’m writing a book that’s meant to be set on one and these are the only sorts of references I’m finding… HELP! #maritime #history

I’m at that stage of editing where I either have too little memory of the story, and I’m like, “wow, I can’t believe that happens,” or I know the story and scene so well that I have to read it word for word to really understand what’s going on #amediting

I love it when the sunset makes the sky look all Blade Runner-y.

Mistakenly had Rip Off Britain on the TV for 20 seconds and I am now so bloody anxious. No wonder older people think everyone’s trying to “shaft” them.

How many drafts are enough, do we reckon? I’m hoping to go no higher than 5 this time. #novelwriting #amediting

Here’s a pic of me in Greece with my first novel, The Cage that Wisdom Built, give it a read if you like a female-focussed dystopian adventure story ✌️ Also, if you did like it & wanted to leave a review I’d just love that 📖 Free on Kindle Unlimited: amzn.eu/d/6S02RXL #novel #summerbook

Omg, I’m six pages away from finishing this next draft on my novel. Might treat myself and celebrate by just immediately starting the next draft 🫡

Why does everyone keep telling me that Stephen King can write a book in a few months? I wish, babes, but half of my writing time is actually spent on synonym searches. Literally only on the second novel of my 4 decades of life, and *that* pace is killing me!

Hey mates, so have any of y’all read my book, The Cage that Wisdom Built, yet? You can totally tell me if you have, don’t keep it a dirty little secret, tell the class what you thought! And if you haven’t read it, well, I hope you like homework. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PHHCKB1 #booksky #books

Last night at the Sydney Opera House was pretty epic. It’s such an iconic building and seeing a live orchestra there was simply incredible. The musicians are so talented, and I found that I wanted to close my eyes to be immersed in it. Almost brought a tear to my eye if I wasn’t so dead inside.

Breakfast with the most incredible view! Then back to the room to re-read American Psycho. I just finished a very good but also very nostalgia-infused romance novel, so I need the counterbalance.

Where does the weekend start for you? Are you a Saturday morning person? Friday night or, maybe afternoon (?) like me Thursday night type of personality (?!) - there’s an argument for it Could you really be that optimistic? WEDNESDAY LUNCHTIME (!!?)

It’s the time of year where my neighbours do me a kick arse (not necessarily asked for) dance party. Last summer it was remixed Madonna at midnight, and today it’s started with what can only be described as an ethereal afternoon club rave 👏 Happy weekend #london

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Anyone fancy having a read of my novel and giving it a sweet little review? It’s quite a relevant book for our times I think, asking questions about how we fit in with what’s around us, and whether or not we should. You can find it on Amazon and Good Reads if you’re so inclined ❤️ 📖 #booksky

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Hey mates, it’s spring and I’m feeling optimistic so plugging my my novel, The Cage that Wisdom Built. It’s a dystopian adventure story with justice, truth and love at its heart. www.amazon.co.uk/Cage-that-Wi... Give it a read, if you fancy, and ooh, why not leave a cheeky little review 😉

Hi 👋 I’m a wannabe children’s author, and have written a regulation storybook with my psychologist sis. Our book is focussed on helping children to regulate their emotions through an engaging story and proprioceptive activities. Any lit agents fancy seeing the manuscript? 😉

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Alright, mates? I’m off on holiday soon and looking for a really good, really easy read that is adventurous, and female-focussed, and fun… any #booksky recommendations?

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I have spent the last hour (actually, more like four hours) re-reading the same cover letter and synopsis, and I’ve suddenly realised that I can not either read or write… apparently #amquerying #booksky

The concept art for our children’s regulation book ✨ It’s an example of one of our regulation activities - wall sitting. PLS have a little look at our questionnaire and get on the waiting list for a free e-book once we’ve published 📕 tinyurl.com/4f3wj68c #amquerying #childrensbook #BookSky

Hello! So, my sis & I are very excited to be working on a children’s regulation picture book at the minute. We have a few Q’s around what you, as a person who might read a child a story, would expect from this kind of book, so please follow the link and let us know! tinyurl.com/4f3wj68c

Alright, mates. I recently went to Pompeii, and like, woah, what a place! Art is everywhere, and I guess it always has been where humans have existed, even before we were properly human 😁 I love that about us.

Once you found writing did you also then start to find lots of other creative interests? For me it was cooking, then trying to draw, then building pampas clouds, then papier maché things with a view to discoballify (never finished 😆), & now it’s hand building pottery like our ancient forebears

Children’s book authors, what was your route into publishing? My psychology phd twin sis and I have just finished our first collab and don’t quite know if we should try and go down the publishing house / literary agent route (hard) or self-publishing? (Easier?) What d’ya reckon? #amquerying

040

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

OMG, is there anyone accepting submissions for children’s books at the minute? #amquerying Who are your favourite kids publishers in the UK? I may try to hit them up. #childrensbooks #childrenspublishing

So, mates, I’ve still yet to visit the single coffee shop suggestion I’ve had as my back is ruined from being aged and doing too many ill-advised air kicks for no reason. So, while I can’t go anywhere please share a pic of your favourite writing spot 🖊️ 📑 #amwriting

We have our first London coffee shop writing spot recommendation, mates 👏📖 #amwriting

Laurie Edwards @laurieinnit.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

This is exactly why you write in coffee shops, plus it’s hilarious when you’re reading aloud your children’s story in iambic *pentamic AB rhymes. *obviously it should be iambic pentamic rather than pentameter. It’s just more fun to say. #amwriting

Mates, if you’re looking for a last minute Christmas gift for your sister why not try my debut novel? ❤️ 📖 then maybe I’ll write the *sought after* sequel 😆👏 #christmasgiftideas The Cage that Wisdom Built amzn.eu/d/dFLccfu

I’m in desperate need of #london Bluesky’s help… where d’ya reckon is the best - most comfiest - coffee shop in London? I’m talking squishy sofa’s, a big window with a view, good coffee and some nice snacky bits? I want to get out today, and I need the right environment to write in 🫠 #amwriting

Honestly, so would I, but I wouldn’t pretend it was for “neck henching practice,” or whatever.
