@TheSweetTeaMama All good stuff here, but I would also add a tracking sheet you can write everyone's name on before you sign the book. Spelling the person's name is so important, and so easy to get wrong when you're signing so many at once. I use the sheet to check as I'm writing in the book.

@Hambledown_Road We went to a brewery called Wolf of the Willows. I thought we were going to buy hay for my rabbit, but Steve decided to surprise me for Mother's Day 😊

*whispers* There's a man here in the pub I'm in that is basically just one of my characters walking off the page and I don't know how to not stare at him. #writerproblems

WHY ARE BLURBS SO MUCH HARDER TO WRITE THAN THE BOOK?

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

@sarina_langer They didn't say anything! I think they're choosing to ignore it, and so am I 😂 Next week I might casually mention that I'm a writer and sometimes research weird things for my books.

Aaannndd I accidentally sent this to my son's teacher instead of my husband. I am about to sink into the ground with shame.

This is the the front cover, an image from a story I haven't heard of before.

I'm back in research mode for my writing, reading obscure fairy tales that had belonged to my grandmother when she was a girl. It's really interesting to see the popular fairy tales back then compared with now.

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

@kayinthemargins Oh no! I've done that a few times as well 😬

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

@landforce @Steve_deNiese 😒😒😒

Happy #caturday from these judgemental souls!

Interviewer: Under special skills you listed “thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages. Also, something in my air and manner of walking, the tone of my voice, my address.”

Me: I also read… extensively.

Interviewer: Please leave.

My friend sent me the most naive message today: "Help I need book recommendations for my son!" She was NOT ready for that conversation 😂 (But I have a bunch of books I'm sending her way)

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

Anyone else's parents send them the thumbs up when you reply to the message they sent you in the first place???

@HeroJamesLynch I curse my past self every damn time but I never learn

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

I love writing first drafts. I was just stuck on how to word the scene so I just wrote a basic summary of what happens in it. It's future Ash's problem now!

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

@ShanLScott Thank you 😊 I was there with my books 2021 too! I also exhibited 2017 and 2018 but have mostly been taking a break since I had my son and I miss it so much!

[Ash Oldfield @AshOldfield]

I've booked accommodation for Supanova, I have copies of my books ready to go, I have a shiny new banner...now to wait 2 months until the event. Can you tell I'm eager to get back out there to chat with readers?
