Self-pub author of YA/Adult Fiction. I love things like the smell of books, and anything teal. Chronic over-thinker 🤯 She/her

Shout out to left-handed authors. I’ve practiced some ‘author signatures’ ahead of my book launch on Monday.

Smudging. That’s is all I have to say. The bloody smudging. 😓✍🏼

It’s taken me all day to rewrite one chapter of the #WIP… I should be looking at it as progress and yet I’m frustrated I haven’t made more of a dent in my MS??

Is it roadworks season or???

[Mads | Author 🧚🏼‍♀️ @madeleinecook]

@melllllzzz Let’s hope someone does actually say something 😫 lol. I still feel torn. I’ve heard of LuLu too but I think they’re quite spenny

IngramSpark.
I did some research, which seemed positive… read many reviews of their services…which were mostly negative.

Any self-pubbed writers with IS experience? Was considering it instead of Amazon KDP. Now I’m not sure.

@BooksSeeker And at laaaast I see the lightttt! (As a duet ofc)

[Mads | Author 🧚🏼‍♀️ @madeleinecook]

I’m worried about overusing the word ‘as’ in my writing. Totally didn’t realise how much I relied on it to connect sentences/elaborate/describe. Feckkkk
The question is, am I making a deal out of nout? How many other options do I have?

So, compared to my original MS, in rewriting it I’ve lost about 30k words. Crikey. 😶 telling myself that’s a good thing…

When you find a way to fix a plot hole in your #WIP that actually makes sense. *That* feeling. Ahh.

@ovationchris I don’t, no. I had it in mind to do it myself, as I’m not sure about the ££ of a self publisher! Would you be happy to share some info via DM?
Aaand nope. That’ll be the next one 📖 lol

[Mads | Author 🧚🏼‍♀️ @madeleinecook]

Still wanting to call X Twitter… and to say tweet. What are they otherwise?

Also it has been months since I’ve been on here. Shouting out into the ether, helleeewwww 👋🏼

Hoping to get back into it again 👀

[Mads | Author 🧚🏼‍♀️ @madeleinecook]

@Baileythebass Mr B! All is well - working, writing, living in Caerphilly now and love it ☺️ I shall pass on your regards to the real GT hehe
Hope all is good with you & yours?

[Mads | Author 🧚🏼‍♀️ @madeleinecook]

So what do we say now?? It’s not tweeting anymore is it? 😩
