Behind the keyboard: A little glimpse into the summer of 2026

One of the oddest things about being an author is that, from the outside, it can look as though nothing's happening, especially if you are like me who struggles with social media updates and, dare I u...

Apparently I’m not a real author. Or so says my ghost writer. #writingcommunity #theneilbailey

Happy Cover reveal to Neil Bailey for his thriller, THE ARCHIVE OF ASHES. Look for it in 2028, and add it to your TBR now! www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... @neilbailey.bsky.social #coverreveal #thrillerbooks #goodreads #booksky #readersky #rowanprosepub

That’s the first edit done and plot holes etc well and truly plugged. Now for the difficult bit - writing the synopsis. 😂 IYKYK

That’s the next travel listening sorted.

First draft finished. Now it’s time to go back to the beginning and fill in the gaps, plot holes, missing links, and details that make for a fully fledged manuscript. I’ll be honest, this story hasn’t come out of my brain easily but at least it’s finally out.

Looking for cover art recommendations. I’m getting no query interest so I’m going the self publish route. Can anyone recommend a fabtastic book cover artist who’s great at old school cartoon style characters: think Tom and Jerry meets Terry Pratchet book covers? Not interested in anime style.

Aaargh! Was mopping the floor at work and have just come up with an amazing idea for a YA Horror novel. Why does this happen when I can’t just sit down and get my ideas out on to ‘paper’? Can someone pop in and take over so I can go and write?

I managed to do some writing today. Despite the ‘help’ from my mini-editor, cuddle-demander and Chief Motivation Officer I managed just over 3k words. I also managed to sort out a major plot dead end so it’s safe to say I’m well chuffed.

I’m after book recommendations similar to Afraid by JA Konrath. Any good ones out there?

Hello new book cover. Sooo exciting. Please add this to your goodreads TBR list.

My debut novel is out next year. Please find me and it on Goodreads and add it to your list. And I’ve just started writing book 2 which is shaping up to be a doozy. #author #neilbailey #rpp #rowanprosepublishing #theawakening

Finally finished the odds and sods blanket. Lots of my late Nannie’s and my mums ends of yarn used up. I think I now need to start collecting other people’s odds and ends as I love this end result. #crochet

A nice early dog walk and litter pick. Good to see all this collected and recycled as much as possible but also sad that it was all thrown out of people’s cars. #keepbritaintidy

After a break over what was a difficult Christmas period I was reading back on my manuscript to see what I needed to do next. Halfway through one chapter I found my highly descriptive and helpful prompt for a missing scene. #author #writingcommunity #neilbailey

You buy a second-hand camera and find one photo on the memory card. It’s of you, asleep in your bed. What would you do? #whatwouldyoudowednesday #wwydw #horrorcommunity #writingcommunity #neilbailey

Last four queries submitted of 2025. Fingers crossed it’s good news in 2026. #amquerying #author #horror #mg

You’re driving late at night when your sat-nav says: “Pick up passenger ahead.” What would you do? #whatwouldyoudowednesday #wwydw #horrorcommunity #writingcommunity #neilbailey

New odds and sods blanket coming on well. Using up bags of left overs. #crochet #makedoandmend

You wake up in a hospital bed. Machines are beeping, lights are on, but there’s not a single person around. What would you do? #whatwouldyoudowednesday #wwydw #horrorcommunity #writingcommunity #neilbailey

I’m soooooo excited.
