I was on Zoom with my online writing group today. I saw one of my friends rocking with laughter. I unmuted to ask what was so amusing. Her answer? My book! She's currently beta-reading for me and was responding to one of the amusing scenes. It was both gratifying and a relief! #writingcommunity

I had a new writing experience today. I attended a 'Drop in and Write' session at Jane Austen's House. Over the course of 2 hours, I was served 4 cups of delicious cafetiere coffee & I planned the first 14 scenes of my 5th novel. It was a very enjoyable and productive experience. #writingcommunity

I was editing today and thought I'd come across a massive plothole. My heart plummeted to my shoes. I did some pretty frantic scrolling. Fortunately, the problem wasn't huge and I managed to fix it, but that's not the sort of thing you want to find at this late stage! #writingcommunity #writerslife

I took my Dad out for coffee and cake this morning at a tea room we'd never been to before. Delicious coffee & cake. I'd tucked in before I remembered to take a photo! When I got home, I did the online poll clerk training ahead of the local elections & finished marking exam papers. #BusyButGoodDay
