Watching Harrison’s behaviour on #mafs is so stressful! The negging, gaslighting, blame-shifting, victim-posing, breadcrumbing, the punishing Bronte for having boundaries. Nimbly hopping from one noxious tactic to another just to keep the upper hand over her.

Why has no one mentioned that Ellie TOLD Tom not to tell anyone about the kiss? #loveisland

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

@liza_belle Wise words, thank you Liz!

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

Honest answers please, #writingcommunity... Is it mad to try and write a #highconcept novel as your #firstbook? I’m excited about my story but every time I stop focusing on the chapter-by-chapter detail, and look at the big picture, the scale of it gives me vertigo 🤯 #amwriting

@HorrorAuthorVMP Hi, I’m new to the #writingcommunity. Writing my first thriller in between being an editor by day. (And getting distracted by other people’s books ALL the time).

New side effect of lockdown: I now dream in emails. *shudders*

@MargotMallis Oboe. I sounded like a strangled duck and then they kicked me out for breaking too many reeds.

@LDNwriterscafe Ugh it stings! But yes ok

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

Ok #writingcommunity, let’s talk names. What character qualities do you associate the name ‘Natalie’ with? #amwriting #writinglife #iwrite

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

@caytlyn_brooke Sophie. Blonde, sporty and mean (by ‘popular’ I mean ‘universally feared’)

@StevenSheiner I'm late to the party but hi! I'm new to the #WritingCommunity. My #WIP is a high concept psychological suspense novel about the holiday of a lifetime that takes a dark turn. Looking to swap tips on research & plot structure.

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

@_CatLane_ I’m in! Book publishing in the UK and Paris (I’m an editor by day); life in the Italian Lake District, small-town Lazio, Brixton and Camberwell; millennial problems.

2/2) Or this guy? #amwritingcrime #amwriting #writingcommunity #writinglife

[Lex Anderson @LexIsWriting]

1/2) Crime #writingcommunity: So you’ve got your outline, complete w/ reveals, twists, web of motives, red herrings, etc. Now you’re actually writing the story, trying not to give away or compromise anything your outline says you shouldn’t.

Are you this guy?
