Have flu. Canβt write. But these two are keeping me company. The ginger is Furi and the tabby is Jin.
When we rescued them 9yrs ago as kittens they were not well. Taken too young from the mother, stomachs destroyed by the wrong food. But these two are fighters!

Cat cafe and bookshop for birthday which is very on brand. And getting to choose my own books is the perfect gift!
Mood board for my steampunk novel about a clockwork girl who runs away with the circus.
Iβm a huge fan of Angela Carterβs βNights at the Circusβ and have always wanted to tell a circus-themed story so Iβm excited to write this!

You can now pre-order βCurse of the Swordβ, a Dragon Soul Press anthology. books2read.com/DSPCurse
I usually describe my story βOil & Rosesβ as Beauty & the Beast if it were a Black Mirror episode.

π°οΈ My first short story got 14 rejections.
πΉ My second got 17.
πͺΎ My third has 13 and is still out on sub.
But it only takes ONE yes!
Rejections sting, but it doesnβt mean your story isnβt any good. You just have to keep going.

Happy New Year!
I had a wonderful start to the year with the news that my short story 'Oil and Roses' will be published in the Dragon Soul Press anthology 'Curse of the Sword'!
Available in March! I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks @kittybucholtz.bsky.social @johnbucholtz.bsky.social @bartlebett.bsky.social @jozimart.bsky.social Steph and Maik for being my writer buddies for so long!
About 3-4 times a year a group of us meet up in Sweden/Online for a writing retreat. We are from everywhere so are called 'Writers From Distant Lands'. I love these people! They are so creative and inspiring and I always feel motivated afterwards.
We met yesterday and I wrote about 4000 words!
Good job! Being able to keep going, even a little, when you are sick is a huge win.
#NovelNovember wordcount week 1: 6325
Not as high as I wanted due to health hiccups but still here and still writing, so I'm going to take that as a win.

I've been dealing with health issues recently. I have #endometriosis which causes pain, exhaustion and brain fog.
Iβve had a bad few days and it feels shit not to write. But I want to use this challenge to find strategies to be productive even during the bad days.

Wow, impressive! Good job.
Good job! You got this.
Especially the second one. I'm constantly fighting the urge to go back and edit what I've just written.
I'm usually very bad at having a routine. I'm a binge writer who writes when the moment hits me. But for #NovelNovember I'm going to challenge myself to:
1. Write something every day.
2. Not re-read and edit as I go.
3. Finish a messy, would never show to anyone first draft of my novel.
Joining #NovelNovember this month means a lot to me. It's been a tricky year, I've had major health issues since April and there was a time I thought I would never be well enough to do anything, let alone write again. But I'm FINALLY feeling better and ready to tackle this!
#writersky #amwriting
Good luck! I'm cheering you on from here.
I'll be writing my first novel after only having written short stories. I'm excited and terrified!
Aww thank you!
This year I will be taking part in #NovelNovember to try and finish a first draft of Brass Nightingale (working title).
A story about a clockwork girl trapped in her own home who runs away with the circus. Think Erin Morgenstern's 'The Night Circus' crossed with 'Pinnochio'.
Who else is joining?

Just found out about Novel November as a promising replacement for that other one, so going to give it a go. Who else is doing it?
#novelnovember25 #readytowrite #prowritingaid
So proud to have my first short story published alongside all these other wonderful writers.
And the mag is stunning! So do check it out.

A little #Caturday poem for you all:
Outside is cold,
Inside is hot,
I am a cat,
You are not.
Why am I only now getting around to watching Attack on Titan?
It. Is. Incredible.
