I’d rather have ten fillings than plot a book. I find the whole exercise excruciating. But here I am, creating a chapter breakdown. Annoyingly, I know it will help. Pah. #amwriting #amplotting

My first read of the year has been Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls. My goodness the man is a GENIUS.

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

As well as posting photos of my dog, I’ll also be sharing my thoughts on writing. Writing is 99% silencing those voices in your head saying YOU CAN’T DO THIS. And doing it anyway. It’s the hardest.
