Absolutely! Single mum over here, juggling three kids and working from home on a business I set up following separation. Had to claim benefits when I first became single. Was not easy. Thank you Sam, for speaking up.
@CalPLogan @LiteraryPatrick I just mean I dip in and out of it, definitely not a regular here! Sometimes I scroll for ages, other times I forget it even exists ๐ the fact it feels chaotic is what keeps me from using it regularly, I think.
In part 3 of #Yinka, where is your editor? @katyloftus and I get vulnerable as we talk editing. I'm talking rewrites, revisions, etc.๐ญ๐ฑ It's messy stuff. It's emotional stuff. But that's how brilliant books are birthed. Thanks @thebookseller

Massive thanks to the @thebookseller for giving me the opportunity to share the making of #YINKA, WHERE IS YOUR HUZBAND? In this first series, I talk about how I started out as a clueless writer to getting a two-book deal๐๐พ๐๐พ
Spent a weekend in Stratford Upon Avon, and honestly, it was just what I needed to clear my head and get back to work. Working really hard on something new ๐ฌ ๐
Laptop keeps goes into sleep mode while I browse social media on my phone. I keep waking the laptop. Because if itโs awake, itโs the same as me working, right? #writerslife#WritingCommunity
Thereโs nothing more unfair than playing a made up game with a five year old:
5y/o: I got one point.
*I do same as her.
5y/o: You got one point.
*She fails at game:
5y/o:I got one point.
*I earn another point.
5y/o: oh yeah, now you got no points
We're soooo thrilled for Lucy, who has signed with @sya_susan! She is supremely talented, and made the shortlist of the TLC Pen Factor writing comp at our #WritersDay last year! Keep an eye on Lucy, she's going places! ๐โ๏ธ
