@AuthorNPreston I just finished The Lake so had to find you on social media and say a huge thank you. Kept me guessing throughout and inspired my own writing.
Thank you :)

Another 2 rejections this morning. I keep faith in my my writing and hope that somebody sees some potential. In the meantime I'm enjoying writing my 2nd story. #literaryagents #writing #yafiction #youngadult

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

My first story for young adults is now with 30+ agencies. I do hope they see something in my writing.
Regardless, I'm now working on my 2nd :)

Unlucky City. Great win on the night but sadly not enough to turn around the away leg. Great spirit and great to watch. @ManCity @ManCityWomen @roline_mcfc

@MaryRobinette I just watched your YouTube video about writing short stories and wanted to say a huge thank you. In 45 minutes you captured far more than countless books (on the same subject) have ever taught me. Thank you!!

@EllieRoebuck_ @AbbyDahlkemper @AlexGreenwood It was tough to see such a fantastic defence put to the test today. Good luck for the home leg!

@Victoriasartsp1 That was a silly monster with silly ears 😆

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

Watching Monstrous on Amazon Prime. They really shouldn’t have shown the monster. This could be a fantastic and chilling film.

🎬 Devil’s Diary. How does this shit ever get made.

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

Apostle with Dan Stevens is a superb drama that evokes The Wicker Man, amongst others. Great sets and fine acting. Loved it.

Watching Clive Barker paint is so inspiring.

Struggling to get my YA story over the line. I fear I may be stalling as I’m enjoying writing it so much! #youngadult #ya #amateurwriting #writing

@jounwin Thank you so much for your @arvonfoundation session yesterday. I wrote a good couple of pages of notes and am very excited to reach out and share my story. It's so nice to be able to identify with a human being amidst the scary (intimidating) world of literary agents 😀

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

Thrilled to be attending another @arvonfoundation course via Zoom. My #YA horror is so close to being ready for submission so I’ll enjoy listening to @jounwin explain how to get my work polished and ready to share. Exciting stuff 😊

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

The Innkeepers on Prime is a fine surprise. Chilling. #amazonprime #primemovies

Fishing in #minecraft is such a great way to switch my brain to creative thinking. There’s something about performing an activity with no cerebral requirement that lets my mind go to work.

[Mark Wilcox @markwilcox70]

Early morning writing with coffee. No sign of the sun for a good hour or so. Perfect. I want so much for this story to find its way to market. I believe in it so much. 🤞 #writerslife #writers #amwriting

@aishabushby I’m currently reading Moonchild. It’s such a wonderful and enchanting book. This and The Girl of Ink and Stars have helped me to shape my own middle grade adventure. #middlegrade #ChildrensBooks #magic
