Hmmm, as seen pinned to a wall: somedays it's writing ... some days not ... #newwriters #inspiration #writersblock

Was sent this list by a friend - a reminder that all writers can do with this boost now and then! #newwriters #creative #goodadvice

Just finished Night Heron ... Apologies @AdamBrookesWord it took me so long to get into it ... looking forward to picking up the next!

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Just picking up another book for weekend reading. Heard good things about #caraval by @SGarberGirl ... looking forward... #booksonthecouch

Great interview with the brillaint C+W agent Lucy Luck from last December here. Insightful stuff: https://t.co/QEk69CUVdv

Just got my hands on #comesundown by @NoraRobertsFans - few hours of the weekend left in Malaysia to get started, ironically before sundown

If you were ever looking for #inspiration to write, a story from the streets of #Shanghai ...

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Definitely feel like that as a #newwriter. The hard stuff is the endless editing ...

[Tasha Harrison @DotDashTash]

Sometimes extra words serve no purpose other than to fill space. A fruity raspberry? No way!

As seen outside a book store - a not so subliminal message to #newwriters #beinspired

[Tasha Harrison @DotDashTash]

I think this applies to both fiction & copywriting: Be true to yourself. Don't write what you imagine other people want to hear. #amwriting

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

.@lisa_letters no mention of what @RufusPurdy hair looked like during the interview - had he also come from a class ...?

[Stuart White @StuartWhiteWM]

Wrote a wee piece about the @cbcreative children's writing course with @catwrote and it's on their blog. Check it out! https://t.co/rjFI3nI6sR

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Love getting feedback from @cbcreative classmates, but boy do you swing from joy to depression with every line ... #strugglingwriter

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Some inspiration for #chinesenewyear. #GongXiFaCai. More magical realigsm than #Thriller material probably.

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Should this apply to the reader or also the writer? #newwriter #challenge #comfortzone

Passing thru a bookshop reminded me how hard it is for a #newwriter to get their story out there. #oneinamillion

[Simon Forge @forgebooks]

Improbably managed to get in my 2k tonight - but fatgue led to some odd spellchecking errors ... #chuffed
