30,000 words in 9 days. Then CFS comes a-knocking, ending my streak. Man, chronic illness is a bitch of a writer's block. I had plans, body!

I wrote 8000 words last night. Pray for me that streak continues!

I could go on and on about this 🤣

Hi! I did a masters by research relating to this and it's a passion of mine, so this is right up my street. I believe that magic being tied to religion or divine forces is a natural approach dating back thousands of years. Personally, I prefer it in fiction, and find the many aspects fascinating.

Not writing related but my little fluffball turns 1 today. ❤️

One CFS flare up later and I've hit almost 65,000 words. Writing is a lot harder these days but I'm determined to get this book written!

Lovely to meet you!

Thank you, @shonak.bsky.social - it arrived safely this morning and I can't wait to read it!

I think I figured out how to DM on here but it says you can't be messaged? Unless I'm doing it wrong 😂

And the winner is… @hemivatt.bsky.social!

That's amazing!! Thank you so much!!

I've been looking after a very ill puppy this week. He's now feeling better, but the chronic fatigue crash I'd been putting off has finally hit.

Nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, extreme chills and, I still wanted to finish my chapter.

Pleased to say I've hit 50,000 words - I sleep now.

Cover of The Heart of Winter by Shona Kinsella. A woman with long, plaited red hair stands with her back to the viewer, between 2 mountains. She wears a long, green tartan skirt. Flowers and vines grow around her, from her, through melting snow. She stands above a triskele

It’s Book Week Scotland and to celebrate, I’m giving away a signed hardback copy of The Heart of Winter, my reimagining of a Scottish myth about the seasons and the gods who embody them. Like and repost to enter, winner will be selected at random on Friday, 22nd Nov. Open worldwide

I've stocked up on emotional support tea and prepped my dog to be cuddled non-stop until 2029.

You've managed to capture my thoughts, feelings, anxieties and facial expressions in a single meme. Bravo! 😂

Hello fellow writing people! What does your writer's block look like? Mine's the dog version of a custard cream...

Just smashed out 4200 words. I deserve that sleep now.

Finally crossed the 30,000 word mark! Been a tough week but I'm glad I hit a target for once.

Folk horror writer and poet @stephellis.bsky.social asks where all the older women are in fiction—especially in horror, where the evil crone stereotype dominates, and especially in folk horror, which centres so much on fertility.

When you're on the cusp of a CFS flare, 300 words is enough for one night. You can always try for more tomorrow.

1700 words of my WIP done, plus 1200 words of another novel that popped into my head. Is it bad to write two projects at once? Maybe three... Asking for a friend.. 🫣👀

#amwritingfantasy #ivattwrites

Aaahhh! It's so awesome!!

Pushing through some chronic fatigue to finally make some progress on this novel. Wish me luck!
