Dr Sarah Mosedale

Humourless feminist whose memoir-in-flash is said to be sharp, intelligent and funny and explores everything from sex to psychosis via grief and addiction.

So happy my memoir-in-flash is finally out in the world. Longlisted by both @BathFlashAward and @EllipsisZine and I'd love you to take a look. "A blistering brilliant read..." says @tiredpsych

@leadinglawyer @BethFordMusic @shitbarrister @MaxJLHardy @theBarrister Hi Beth I have a barrister friend and I'd be interested in commissioning a small portrait of her as a Christmas present. Can you DM me?

@womenwritersnet I'm really enjoying @MkenWrites two week online Go With The Flow course and would thoroughly recommend it to other writers. I do very few writing classes nowadays but all his are excellent. Stimulating, informative, thorough feedback and very good value.

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@tiredpsych Just ordered on Kindle (I do an awful lot of my reading on Kindle) at the bargain basement price of £1.50! Advise you all to snap it up, it will be very good...

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@tiredpsych I started again at Season 1 because I just knew I'd be in exactly the same boat otherwise! Love this series...

END RACIST RHETORIC. END RACIST RIOTS. I've just signed @refugeeaction's petition to say the language that puts people in danger has to stop. Add your name now. https://t.co/tibrlpHjPO

@womenwritersnet @sarahtinsleyuk Very sorry to hear this

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@CarolaHuttmann @womenwritersnet Yes I really relate to this. I find out who my characters are through the process of writing them and discovering how they react to situations I put them in. Listing their attributes in advance has never appealed to me. I'm not knocking that approach, it's whatever works for you.

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@womenwritersnet Good question. And no I think part of being an AI involves not being well rounded. But... see my answer to Q3

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@womenwritersnet A3 the biggest challenge I'm tackling is the character development of my AI. I need it to undergo a huge change in terms of its attitudes towards and relationship with humans and the beta reader feedback is that that needs further work. So am enjoying wrestling with that!

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@womenwritersnet A5 it's absolutely NOT necessary to like a character. Imho of course. But they MUST be believable and interesting...

A few people pushed back on this idea. So here's a thread of why pursuing excellence in the craft of writing is a better primary goal than getting published. Also, I'll add a few practical tips on how to actually live this out.

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

After self-publishing my memoir-in-flash, Fingling The Snargle - find it on Amazon - I'm now looking for an agent for my SF novel. Loving this book by @Cmaum not only very informative but a great read.

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@liza_belle Oh brilliant, yes would love an email chat, thank you. I'll DM you with my address later today. Thanks

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

I'm looking for an agent for my #speculativefiction #sciebcefiction debut novel. Finding lots online but wondered if anyone might have a recommendation? #writingcommunity

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@womenwritersnet Total pantser. Wrote a 113,000 word SF novel that way. Fascinating to see where it ended up. 2nd draft required some big changes to some early chapters but otherwise just planting some more seeds to fuel what had emerged as the main themes. Outlining would kill the fun for me.

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@AstraBloom Thanks for explaining and good luck with sorting it all out

[Dr Sarah Mosedale @moseywriter]

@BarbaraByar Use find and replace to change the name?
