The strange thing about this industry is that there are times when it's mad busy and times when you're in a waiting zone and it's quiet. Trying to make the most of it. Christmas shopping is done. Edits back tomorrow. #romanceauthor #spicyromance #debut2025

Thought I'd do a thread on writing tips that I might add to from time to time... 1) I've cited this one before on the other place... A description of a person or a place should tell you as much about the person doing the describing as the person or place being described. Examples below.
I'm always so amazed by authors with other creative talents. Crochet, pottery, painting, drawing, baking. You guys blow me away. I can string a sentence together most days but there ends my creative talents. Show me your magic!!! #Authorlife #hobbies #authors #writing #creatives

Nikki Smith@nikkismithauthor.bsky.social · 2y agoAm so excited to reveal the cover of my new book #TheyHadItComing 😃😃😎 It’s set in Bali amongst the digital nomad community and features two couples who are out for revenge. Out in May, retweets & pre-orders much appreciated! (And thank you Viking @penguinbooks.bsky.social for the fab video!)
Update: I have an opening line and four paragraphs. Stopping to clean the house for a few hours. Not quite the glamorous profession people assume 😜
Lauren North@laurennorthauthor.bsky.social · 2y agoI'm starting a new book today. That blank page never stops being daunting no matter how many times I do this. The fact that it will become an 80,000 word novel seems quite impossible right now, but as my character would say, "chin up, tits out, let's do this." #newbook #author #writing #thrillers
A new episode of In Suspense podcast publishes today & our topic is Mining Trauma for Fiction - and who better to discuss this with than the fabulous @jojakeman.bsky.social whose latest book, ONE BAD APPLE, is out now – paperback coming early next year! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i...
I've been struggling to write lately due to publishing setbacks and lack of confidence. I've found a few things that help and thought I'd share. Please tell me what works for you. - Setting word targets - Getting outside and exercising - Absorbing all sorts of art - Remembering why I started.

Off to a book group tonight to talk about my debut thriller - The Perfect Betrayal. It was 14 books ago but still holds a special place in my heart ❤️ #bookclub #bookgroups

If you're a panster and you think your structural edits would be so much lighter if you could plan first, let me put your mind at ease! It won't. I'm a massive planner and I just had to rewrite a very saggy 100page middle 😭 #writing #authorlife #structuraledits #thrillerwriter

The sign of a good book is being caught up in the story. The sign of a great book is wanting to see what happens after the final page as I did with You Are Here by David Nicholls. A wonderful story of loneliness, love & starting over in the middle. fromfirstpagetolast.wordpress.com/2024/11/18/y...
