I always make time for sample edits. If your WIP is ready for its professional edit, and you're searching for a reliable editor (with a sense of humour and a gorgeous dog), email two chapters to me and I'll return a sample edit. #WritingCommunity #indieauthors #amediting #Ireland

A wintery but sunny day here in Sligo. My day off, and the perfect opportunity to spend quality time on my WIP, on day 13 of January's writing challenge.✍ #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfiction #writerslife MJ

A beautiful evening in Sligo Town. The skies will be active tonight with meteorites. Much better than TV.🌠😊 #Sligo

Hmm. When does 'No DMs 🚫' equate to 'DM me'? Grifters will be grifters.🤥🤔

The old home town. A short but soul-enhancing visit. #Dublin

Y'ALL I'M A LIBRARY BOOK 😭😭😭 This means SO much to me. I was a library kid growing up, and it's why I read so much. I'd grab all kinds of stuff but especially sci-fi. It helped make me who I am. And now my queer magical girl book is on the library shelves in Sci-Fi for someone to find!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Sometimes, a nice cream doughnut is called for. It can't all be about work.😋

Garavogue surge - all that rain has to go somewhere. #Sligo

This is exactly how I feel

I had planned to work today, but I needed a bit of a pick-me-up, and several hours on my WIP has lifted me beyond expectations. Serious thanks to my characters for taking me into their care. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writerslife #MentalHealth

Indie presses: what are they? They may also be called small presses or small publishers, but bear in mind the term also means those not part of a conglomerate, ergo also Faber and Faber and Bloomsbury. Here's the book you start with. For your book, but also magazines, journals, for poetry - ta da

A deserved pint of the black stuff after a busy week. I love my day off.😋 It's important to ease off the peddle, even if it's only for one day. How do you relax? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amediting #Sligo

#writingcommunity Are you querying & losing hope? Here's a dose: Pick a # of rejections that would make you quit & walk away. Now add just 1 more to that #. My number was 120--I queried 121. I got 120 rejections, 1 offer of rep & 20 yrs on, just my 1st 3 books have sold over 250,000 copies. Hope + 1

👋 to all my beautiful followers! For those who don’t know, I have a weekly blog where I ✍️ letters to my mom who passed away 10 yrs ago. This week I dig deep and revisit my dark teen years. Why didn’t she notice that I needed her? Why didn’t I ask for help? rachelblainewriter.com/2024/11/20/w...

Post something before you start following people. That helps them know you're really "here" and that you might not be a bot. Reposting is okay when it's meaningful, but a lot of reposting just looks like a bot.
