Needed energy to write this afternoon. This did the trick! #WritingCommunity

Our Spring Pop-Up is NOW LIVE! Eleven amazing flash fiction written to the theme of Collectors & Collections. Eleven brilliant writers we are proud to have in the Trash Family 💜 We'll highlight each in the coming days, but for now, get stuck in 🦝 trashcatlit.com/collectors-c...

Lovely to see this out there again! Thanks so much to @mattkendrick.bsky.social and @welkinprize.bsky.social 💕💜🙏

Just spent six hours without electricity or telephone here in Spain. So glad I didn’t throw away a couple of tiny transistor radios we have! I was expecting a flood of messages when my phone came back on. Guess how many I had? So funny. It felt really dramatic but nobody even noticed! 🤣🤣🤣

It's here - Issue 84 - and I am proud as pickles in punch to be part of it. Thank you @rfpress.bsky.social It's the apocalypse baby, who you gonna love? 🖤 www.roifaineantpress.com/post/at-the-...

I’m so thrilled to see my quiet little story, “Handle with Care”, out in the world! A thousand thanks to @rfpress.bsky.social for believing in it. Thanks also to @retreatwest.bsky.social for giving me the prompt and to @ruralunease.bsky.social for helping me get it polished! 💕🙏

Finally getting round to reading this. I’m only a few pages in and I’m completely astounded! What a voice the protagonist has! Great stuff. Happy Sunday all! #WritingCommunity

Beautiful morning here. Remembering where I was a week ago. What an amazing few days I had in Berlin meeting writers at @saloneurope.bsky.social meet-up and spending time with friends! #WritingCommunity

So excited to be on my way today to @saloneurope.bsky.social meet-up in Berlin! Finally going to meet writers I’ve known and admired from behind a screen for a long time now. Such a buzz!

A stormy afternoon walk yesterday followed by matcha latte and cake! The last photo is of the wallpaper in the toilet. I just love it (wallpaper not loo 🤣🤣) #WritingCommunity
