Lifelong #writer finally taking the plunge and putting myself out there. Excited to meet the #writingcommunity 😊 Current #WIP Vic Crime #novel, lots to come!

Blood&Breath. #Victorian #crime #Novel set in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1894.

Sick of waiting for the police to act, three ordinary, unqualified women team up in secret to hunt down a killer, themselves. But the thrill of the chase is a cruelly addictive thing. #Scottish #WIP #writer

@justin_author Probably not much different than they already do in the story 🤣 #writingcommunity #writer #wip

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@tonykelsey I think a degree in writing can give names to the tricks you didn't realise you were already doing, and introduces you to new ways of tackling problems you weren't sure how to navigate before.

It's not essential, but definitely beneficial ✨

@JosephCarrel87 The end. Because then it'll be over and the journey of exploring this story for the first time will be a thing of the past💔It's great to complete a novel. Difficult to let it go, though #writer #writingcommunity

@Linnaeus_Sky Write what you want to read, not only what you think other people might want to #writing #writerscommunity #fun

@JamieCass11 Evil twins, surprise twins, psychic twins, separated at birth twins, speaking-in-unison twins, one's-good-and-one's-evil twins, twincest. Basically every cliché that screams the author has never known a twin irl #writingcommunity #twins #cliche

@gabrielablandy Thank you, you're right. The next step is working out how to get past that feeling 😆 #writingcommunity #writers

@RunteMark Self-publishing IS publishing 💪
And what's not to love about being able to stay in full creative and financial control of your manuscript?! 😉 You got this, writer.

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@gabrielablandy I've always found it much easier to praise the successes and talents of others than my own. Unfortunately, it just feels uncomfortable or braggy when I do it for myself 😅 #writingcommunity

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@MorePaisley But the newly liberated uni-brain is screaming "yes"? 😉🤣

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@AuthorJRose Teleport. Able to sleep in until the last moment then teleport wherever I need to be? Luxury🤣

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@gabrielablandy I hate it🤣It's the biggest obstacle in my writer's journey, I suspect #writingcommunity #writerlife

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@MorePaisley Celebration time!

[Alexander Pennington @Authoralexp]

Writers are not people magically gifted with the ability to write amazing stories. Writers are people who struggle with writing, want to give up, but keep writing because they have a story to tell. It's not about talent, it's about persistence and will to keep going.

@RHChatlien @Chelseaswriting They just made me smile too 😊♥️

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@TheBroadbean It's not published yet (or finished!) but it sounds like you'd enjoy my #WIP, a darkly comedic Victorian crime thriller that follows Victorian women and subverts the usual tropes of the genre😉

[Elle H. Ráin @ElleHRain]

@AuthorJRose Imo a writer is an author who doesn't feel they deserve the title of author just yet. Confidence and skill makes the difference #writingcommunity #writer

I will carry this with me for many months 😂😂😩
