@RachelDelahaye Your hormones need some tlc. Read ‘Fast Like a Girl’ by Dr Mindy Peltz. Despite being perimenopausal and on thyroid meds, I lost 10kg of belly fat and have never felt better.
Despite me constantly quoting facts and figures about its extreme difficulty, my mum and dad’s belief that I will get my novel published one day is unwavering. And I often think about this when I’m on revision 56977, stuck for ideas and plagued with imposter syndrome. #amwriting
Just had an agent 121 and it’s a gamechanger #writingcommunity. Having an industry pro read my work to give me practical advice was highly motivational and potentially saved me from a pointless round of querying before I was ready (well apart from the few I already tried ☹️)
My music cover lesson with an excluded kid turned into a great chat about rap music and what great wordsmiths they are. Mainstream ed isn’t for every kid, and we need to embrace their passions outside of the perceived norm.
That fresh bit of querying, before you've received any rejections is a bit like 'spending' your lottery winnings just before the numbers are drawn... #amquerying#writingcommunity
Any ideas for a recent YA (or even adult) book that involves organised crime? Pref without magic? #writingcommunity I need your help to find my comps! #amwriting#amediting
Query letter done apart from the two giant gaps that I left for my comp titles that will inevitably take five years of sweat and tears to select (by which time they’ll be out of date!) #amediting#writingcommunity
“When you become part of the mafia’s heartbeat, you have to be prepared to sacrifice your own.” First draft complete. Praise be. #WritingCommunity#amediting
No matter how much I keep telling myself it’s only a first draft, I always find the end of my #wip so difficult, as the overthinking demons keep whispering ‘anticlimax’ in my ear….what part of your novel is the hardest to write #WritingCommunity?
After months of working out how to tie a couple of loose plot ends together, I had an epiphany. This only happened because I kept pushing myself to write regardless. Keep going folks!
