And now commences the game of keep the chicken away from the cat. #CatLife #WriteLife

Another fruitful morning at the library: I wrote ~ 1700 words. Not on my manuscript mind you, on another project, but what even is life if you don’t have multiple WIPs? 😆😅

Productive day out in Cardiff. I found this gem nestled away at the end of Castle Arcade. Beautiful shop, lovely shop keeper and so many gorgeous books! I couldn’t leave empty handed! #WriteLife #ArtistDate #BookSky

I’ve been working hard on my outline all day today. I am definitely a planner and not a pantser. Things are starting to come together nicely. Can’t wait to get writing! #WriteSky #WriteLife #NoPantsing #AmWritingRomantasy

It was a vivid sky at sunrise today here in Glastonbury. Taken from St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.

I'm not Welsh, but I lived for a number of years in Wales, and I miss it more than I can say. I hope you're all having an amazing weekend.

I keep going down the Welsh folklore rabbit hole. It’s not entirely relevant to my story, but it’s so interesting. #WriteLife #ResearchRabbithole

Me: researching how to get my book distributed to libraries.

Also me: haven’t written the damn book yet.

Not only are libraries awesome, so are swimming pools! Something about the monotony of swimming laps clears my mind and helps me find new routes through narrative issues. I may have started planning another novel. Oops #WriteLife

Another question from my insta! Keep them coming 🙂 #WriteSky #AmWriting #Romantasy

This is my first attempt at getting a novel published. I have a few abandoned manuscripts, but I feel like this one has the legs to go the distance. I hope anyway. It's still in early development. I love crime fiction. Anything I might know?

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I'm writing fantasy and romantasy, currently. Though I have always wanted to write a murder mystery. How abut you?

I received an ask on my insta account, thought I’d share my answer with you lovely lot too. #WriteSky #AmWriting #Romantasy #MeetMyOC

My good intentions to get up early to work on my manuscript were thwarted by my deep passion for sleep. #WriteLife

18th Feb 2026: Meet The Author Thinking about it, I probably should have led with this post. We live and learn. My name is TJ Rivergrass, and I am auditioning for the role of Best Selling Author. These are my writing assistants. I....

Support your local libraries folks! Workmen knocked down my phone line this morning and so I’ve had a very pleasant morning sat in the library working on my laptop. #WriteLife

This weekend I’ve been in Nottingham, taking in the light show and immersing myself in the grim dark science fantasy world of Warhammer. It was nice to vacation in another realm for a bit. Fun and inspiration have been found!

3rd Feb 2026: World Building World-building! What fun. Honestly, this is one of my favourite parts of writing, and having come from the fanfiction mines, it's not I have something I get to do a whole lot. This world, we'll call.....

26th Jan 2026: Genres, Tropes and Naming Conventions For the last few weeks, I have been up to my elbows in world-building and planning. The stories I want to share are soft and romantic, but I want them set in a vibrant fantasy world bursting with...

Hop on over to my blog to catch a sneak peek at the genres and tropes included in my WIP novel!

We often think of writing as a solo activity, but idea jamming with my writing group friends really helped to blow out the cobwebs and open up the old synapses. I strongly recommend finding yourself a writing buddy to share your journey with. #WriteSky #WriteLife
