A5 #womenwritersnet yes, there’s a lot of support on social media for writers.

A5 #womenwritersnet I’ve definitely experienced an increase in offers of help and since AI many sound like they’ve actually read my book. It pays to be cautious.

Sounds like the crucifix acts like a magnifying glass.

Oh wow! That sounds like a brave thing to do…but worthwhile given the creative outcome.

A2 #womenwritersnet keeping the two aspects of the novel (horror/history) distinct so interesting. I guess the dovetailing of the two elements is key to creating a successful narrative.

#womenwritersnet I love it that you’re able to incorporate aspects of travel in your stories. It’s great being able to travel the world through fiction.

My grandson of 21 months reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Well, he shouts out apple, pear and orange when the pictures appear on the page. The dog isn’t very impressed.

Hello @womenwritersnet.bsky.social I’m looking after my grandson today and don’t have my laptop with me which means I can’t post from the WWN account. I’ll rectify this when I get home!

That sounds like a good way to motivate yourself to write.

In the past, I've found writing poetry and fiction helps build the stamina to complete a long project

Hi Stephanie, what a fascinating background. Are the skills developed in commercial writing transferrable to fiction?
