I’ve been alternating between writing and chapter outlining. I do not recommend it. My brain is so angry at me

I’m not even a sci-fi or spy thriller girl usually. Not at all. But from the first page, The Ministry of Time had me hooked. I loved it. Omg.

"Disrupting" publishing by setting up yet another vanity publisher offering writers the 'chance' to have their work proofed (scraped), produced, published and distributed for a mere $5000 fee. Golly boys, you've struck a goldmine of fresh ideas there. Elon Musk-levels of innovation

Doing research and it’s like many readers need explanations and context for speculative/sci-fi elements in a novel, and other readers don’t care

Completed character profiles for my two main protagonists. Written two synopses and a plot outline and now moving into chapter by chapter outline. I like feeling excited about a new project 🤭 #WriterSky

When you’re writing a character you know is a fool and you get angry with that character because they’re a fool but you’re the one who made them a fool
