Swear the only people who ever ask 'what genre do you write?' are the bots. You can tell these scammers have never spoken to a real writer or reader because their little botty scripts are so bad. No one talks like that. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #bots

I really think I'm starting to get somewhere with my WIP. Currently planning to: - Wrap up the scene I've been on for the last two days and start a new one today - Write two more major scenes before the weekend - Have the next death occur and use that to start work on the ending #Writing #WriteSky

I've encountered the worst form of annoying social media person: the book tease. They express a ton of interest in your book(s), make it sound like they're planning to buy a copy, even ask for links or recommendations then... They either vanish or they hit you with a pitch. #WriteSky #writing

And we sailed past another milestone tonight! 45,000 words down. 46k, actually because I managed to pass this. 1500 words written in one sitting. And I still didn't finish that one scene so... yeah this book has a way to go. But at least I'm making progress. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #writing

Planning to start posting more about my reading as well as my writing. I love supporting my fellow indie authors, and I currently have 2 and a half (I'm 50% through one) indie books to finish reading. Then I'll be reviewing on my website, Goodreads and Amazon. #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

It finally happened. The words flowed. I wrote 1500 words today, which is the first time I've gone over 1000 since my self-imposed '1k per day' rule started. I also think I know all the major scenes I want to write for the rest of this draft. Maybe I'll finish it after all! #WritingCommunity

I feel like I have less characters here than I do on Twitter because I have to leave room for a bunch of hashtags if I want anyone to see my posts. It's frustrating. I'm a born waffler and don't need all this pressure to trim posts down. #WritingCommunity

I have now have a writing-related plan. Which is unusual because I normally thrive in chaos. I know what my next 4 releases will be and I plan to write one while another is being prepped for release. One comes out in September this year! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Writing

First of the month facetious marketing time! August's very special offer... First person to buy a book this month will win a summer holiday! * * Terms and conditions apply ** Holiday may be to completely fictional place #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub #writing #indieauthors

Well, it's August now. Somehow. Which one of you signed off on that? Happy first of yet another new month, writing friends and creative people! What's the plan for August? I'm furiously drafting one book while pushing pre-orders for another. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #5amwritersclub

My lack of planning left me completely off track with my WIP. So... I cheated. I had my characters 'plan' for me and talk about what they're going to do next. That way, I have to write those scenes tomorrow. Take that, brain! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #5amwritersclub

The good news: I posted a run-of-the-mill writing update and 45 people showed up to like it. The bad news: I complained once about my manuscript so all the bots selling editing and beta-reading services crawled out of the woodwork. Guess I need to keep all my BlueSky posts positive. #WriteSky

Words have been written. Another 1000 of them. I'm back in the 'do I love this book, do I hate this book?' spiral but I'm pushing on through. It will get finished. Even if it sucks. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub

Hoping to write today. I skipped yesterday because I had a website to edit. Also resisting the urge to start fixing this manuscript. I never edit until I'm done with the first draft. But this one is baaaad. My last chapter is 3 times the normal length and there is no structure bad. #WriteSky

Next event is happening this weekend ... and it's a two day craft fair! I'll be in Woodhall Spa from 10am-3pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Come and say hi! They'll be signed books available, refreshments on site and lots of amazing stalls to see. #craftfair #lincolnshire #books #author

Finally found time to revamp my direct sales site! You can now choose bookmark colours, stickers and how you want to book signed at checkout... All for FREE! Oh, and there's more books listed. Short story collections are up and hardcovers are available. #BookSky #WriteSky #indieauthors

Another indie review all wrapped up! This one was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️psychological horror with some truly unique concepts and terrifying twists! Highly recommend checking it out! #BookSky #books #bookreview #reading #readers

building hype for The Legacy of Deception again. This time, we have the first page! Okay, not the first first page, but posting the title page or foreword would just be a cruel joke. As for this one, it's mostly setting the scene/recapping Book 1 since it's been years... #WriteSky #BookSky

And another new milestone achieved! These Word count updates might feel pointless to some, but they keep me motivated and on the right track. My first few book attempts were already done by the 40k mark... This one isn't even half done yet. Excited to see what comes next! #WriteSky #indieauthor

New author milestone achieved: Someone is annotating a copy of my book. And also highlighting it apparently. This is kind of surreal, but I'm taking it is a compliment. #BookSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #indieauthors

Nearly finished with another indie read, but I just wanted to update everyone because this book has me hooked on horror - a genre I don't normally read much of! #BookSky #indieauthors #reading

Reached 2000 followers here! I know that doesn't really mean anything. It's a drop in the ocean in comparison to my followers on Twitter, and I'm fairly sure most of you are bots waiting to sell me marketing services, but still... Feels cool. Thanks for being here. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Another 1000 words added to the WIP! At this rate, I'll reach my next milestone - 40,000 words - on Monday. Might have to kick it up a notch then as well. No one's died for a while... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub

A reader's updates on Secrets of The Volkovs 😭🥰

Day 3 of posting The Legacy of Deception until you all pre-order it. New sci-fi adventure complete with sarcasm, conspiracies and space pirates. Coming out 1st September! #BookSky #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #indieauthors #scifi #books

Oops, I can't stop talking about this book! I'm about half-way through This Isn't Unusual by A Sjoberg ... already. Because I'm almost afraid to put it down. It's deliciously dark, seriously spooky and full of twists. The ending to 'Unsent' blew my mind! #BookSky

Another 1000 words written today! I'm actually over my intended goal for July. I wanted 35,000 words and now I'm at 37k. Feeling much better about this manuscript than I did a month ago too. Maybe that's because I have the other WIP out the way. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I've been promising the sequel to Planet of Lies for years. All while writing it, battling writer's block, writing some more, then going through b e t a stages and getting it edited. It's now available to pre-order. And I don't know what to do with myself anymore. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

Is there a #5amwritersclub for another time of day? I love replying to those posts, it feels like the only actually chatty side of writing BlueSky, but I'm definitely cheating as it's never 5 am for me. Listen, if I was up at that time, I would not be coherent, let alone able to write.

I've officially submitted The Legacy of Deception to Amazon and you'll be able to pre-order your copy soon! It's been 2 and a half years, but the conspiracy exposed in Planet of Lies is about to deepen in ways no one is ready for... Are you coming along for the ride? #scifi #BookSky #WriteSky
