I'm in one of my favourite podcasts about creativity! 🥰

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

@CpwWlv Every single word here 👏👏👏 Plus the ending Rob 👌

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

...so it finding a home with @HeatherParryUK (just one of my favourite horror writers alive) and the amazing team at @extrateethmag is just 👌

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

Well this was one of my dream list places to have my writing published in... when I wrote No Greater Love I was worried people wouldn't understand it because it's one of the darkest things I've ever written... 1/2

@_jessticulates Good luck Jess! I'm also traveling tomorrow (although not by plane...) I feel you... you'll be in my thoughts!

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

That's absolutely beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing, now I can picture it perfectly 😍

[Yvonne Battle-Felton @YBattleFelton]

Really enjoyed this segment. I had a lovely chat with @InesGLabarta and we talked about home and writing. Here’s a picture of my grandmother’s house. It’s the home in my heart. #amwriting #home #memories #atlanticcity

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

I love when writers take me to some of their favourite places... this episode is also nostalgic in the best ways possible!

[TheWanderingBard @TheWBmag]

This week's podcast is all about why Atlantic City is a meaningful place for @YBattleFelton https://t.co/m5BrJVA7Vm #writingcommmunity #TheWBpodcast

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

Great opportunity for poets out there!

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

This was me all last week... I need exercise... but for the mind? (I'm possibly talking about meditation here, which I've been trying to for a while now but it's HARD 😂)

[Heather Parry @HeatherParryUK]

trying to remind myself that sometimes looking after my health means calming my mind down when it's bouncing around maniacally rather than going to the gym

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

There's definitely space in literature for 'hard stuff' and @nguyen_p_quemai talks beautifully about why stories like hers are important.

[TheWanderingBard @TheWBmag]

Another #podcast episode out! What to do if publishers reject you because they think you write about topics that are 'too heavy'? @nguyen_p_quemai is here with really powerful advice. https://t.co/wLaTZSj4gJ #WritingCommunity #TheWBpodcast

True that, so many people around me are like... but are you not holidays?? and I'm like... teaching prep 🙃 that's my holiday 😂

[Inés G. Labarta @InesGLabarta]

@DaisyEBlack @eoin_price That's exactly my writing process @DaisyEBlack! I'm a very messy sculptor my first drafts are massive but then through the editing process I don't manage to write more than say 70K words for a whole novel??? Weird 😂
