This #novel is so unique. I love its gushing weirdness, sumptuous language and imagery, its spiralling madness. Still provoking thoughts; always a good sign. 🥰🤯 #highlyrecommend 📚❤️💘 #amwriting #literaryfiction #books #reading #writing #thisimmaculatebody @evswrites

Not The Darling / Peaks and Troughs / Fail Better
Abnormal is my writing blog. The name, left-over from an old novel I wrote. But, as abnormal sums up most things in life, it happily stays on here.

Last week, I had an hour long, morning Zoom call followed by lunch with a friend that afternoon. I came home, knackered, and napped for hours. Everything wears me out these days, but then I read this: shorturl.at/rblpb And it all rang true. If you're an #introvert, it's a very interesting read! 🤔

Some batteries take longer to charge than others. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Just sharing a few powerful, #inspirational #writing tips I've recently heard. 1. Voice: Be brave enough to be yourself. Try writing the way you speak! 2. Novels: Complicate your characters not your plot. 3. Characters: Ensure they have agency. Have them ACT in scenes. #amwriting 😘✍️💪

@clarepearson.bsky.social Hi Clare. I could be wrong, but I think it was you who gave me my first positive response (& full ms request) on my first novel decades ago! Before you went on maternity & stopped doing adult fiction. You really encouraged me, kept me trying all these years, lol. So, 🙏😘

I think I've written another duff novel. I think it's the wrong story, the wrong tone, the wrong time. On top of that, it's set in Nottingham and involves a man with psychosis. Now, an understandably unpopular theme. 😢 Agents like my writing, but never the book. Always the bridesmaid... Querying 😱

I wrote a little blogpost (with pics, no less ) about querying a novel. I haven't blogged for over 2 years! So, fill your boots #amquerying writers. Would love to hear your tales of delight or woe too! rb.gy/fs16cz

Writers 📣 Any Query Rejection Poetry in this nice blue space? It's hilarious. Helps with the stress of #amquerying. Lots of it is ridiculous, thus amusing. Here's my latest. Anyone here querying a novel? I sympathise 😅😘

Maybe we should start the blackout rejection poems on here too - to cheer up any other miserable #amquerying writers out there 😅

My mum told me she was reading me a bedtime story (when I was a child, that is), and the word FOREBEARS cropped up. And, at the end of the story, I disappointedly said, "but what happened to the four bears?" Must've really ruined the story for everyone 😬

Good morning, lovely writers❣️ What was the first book you wrote? And I mean the FIRST? Mine is missing the beginning, so we jump right in with PIG riding HORSE on the *illustration page* Seems a bit back to front too... 😆

Do we do #Caturday here? Is that lowering the tone? If not, here's my emotional assistant when she was small and apparently meak. 😻😻
