Well - that was fun, my first day (of three) teaching workshops to kids at the international school It went even better than I expected; the kids were so engaged and truly a joy to spend time with. Today, we discussed Social Media, Influence, and how the words we use matter.

Ten small truths about me. No algorithms, no optimisation — just the human behind the words. If you're new here, say hi and tell me a little about yourself. There's nothing I love more than getting to know my readers and fellow authors #barcelonawriter #writersofbarcelona #meettheauthor

Don’t let January slip by… with all those good intentions going with it. Get in touch before the 31st to book in your MS assessment or mentoring and lock in those 2025 prices #mentor #amwriting

I might detest the early school runs - but views like this make it worth it A chilly -6 this morning, but it won't take long for that Spanish sun to melt away the sparkle on the branches #Magical #WinterSun

To ALL readers out there - we KNOW books are expensive, and reading should be accessible to all. That's why Libraries are SO important. Borrowing books/audio books rather than buying still helps an author.. and keeps alive the places that inspired us to write in the first place.

Janet Emson@janetemson.bsky.social · 2y ago

Authors receive a payment every time you borrow a book, audiobook or ebook from libraries in 35 countries. Those countries include the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Germany to name but a few. Borrowing a book helps the author’s pocket as well as yours.

#KnowingMeKnowingYou #ThisChildofMine was a book of the soul; in my mind, I knew how Stephanie looked. Writing dialogue, I imagined Amy Adams, and this picture was pinned above my desk.  Who would YOU cast as Stephanie? Do you need to 'see' the character in your mind to be invested in the story?

It’s Sunday - I’m gonna chill for the day .. and with the final outlander episodes releasing, hubby and I have decided to start back at the beginning in preparation for the final episodes! Stew in the oven, coffee in hand and sexy Scottish men on TV. The PERFECT Sunday! #Outlander

My eldest daughter is about to start her iGCSE Mock in Film Studies... This whole week has been stressful & next week will be even harder, but this exam - she's so excited about and feels ready. Watching her study something she's passionate about really does make me smile

This weeks #FollowFriday has been added to the thread - pop over and take a look. I'll add to this each week, so you can scroll back to see if you have missed any. ❤️
