Don't forget to save and email that latest draft you've been working on to yourself!

I'm just a little british writer and musician who can't stop relating everything back to the class system that raised me

Working on writing competition deadlines today, wish me luck! #writingcommunity #writingsky

It's a slow, steady climb but we'll get there.

Nothing reminds you of the class system like winter in the UK. I too suffer from colds and flus and would love to go to a warm, dry country for my health, then come back for Spring. Instead I've got four layers and a blanket with the heating on and my cup of tea is still cold within 5 minutes.

Hair so floofy. Skin so shiny. It's sweat and helmet hair, I've just been cycling.

It’s been a beautiful day to put up posters for the show!

I remember looking for writing advice when I was still in school because I always knew that I wanted to be a writer. To this day, the best advice I ever heard was to read widely, inside and outside of your chosen genres. #writingcommunity #bookish #writerslife

I find it hard to finish books when everything I read sends me down nerdy rabbit holes instead

As a millennial, I cannot wait for Princess Diaries 3 to form my next personality when it comes out

We’re having pancakes for lunch because we cannot wait until 4th March! (We will also have pancakes then)

Ok so if I’ve written a poem which makes me cry when I read it back, does that make me egotistical or does it mean that the poem *might* be good?? Could it be both??

No, I did *not* finish my short story or that cover letter today but I *did* make a chicken pot pie from scratch and it was amazing so we’re still counting today as a win??

A new collection of zines at a zine fair but it’s just the same story with alternate endings for every individual zine. We don’t tell anybody. Readers start to find out. But the last zine — the one which had the plot twist to rule them all — was the one zine *never sold* at the fair.

I’m working hard on my YouTube, where I discuss being a travelling musician and writing life. Pleased to say that now, I am 8 lovely people away from 500 subscribers of lovely people! 😻 Wanna help a lady out with her dreams and goals, please subscribe if you like it! :) youtube.com/shorts/m-E5X...

I’m a english tutor and a writer a history fan and you know what I think?! Grammar is there as a TOOL for us to use and we can break its rules (artistically) as writers and we shouldn’t be penalised by the public for it—you can still understand this sentence—so there.

Please enjoy these bright colourful flowers today 🩵

Why can’t we let writers have secrets? link.medium.com/J9ZssKyT3Qb #joandidion #Memoir #Writings #Publishing

Being a writer and trying to break into the publishing industry can feel like balancing plates on skates. Do I put all my energy into my WIP or do I focus on short stories & poems for journal submissions or do I send more queries for the manuscript I have completed or do I just scream into the void?

Is it any surprise that I wrote songs about being in a cafe

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day espeically to the romance writers out there giving us all elevated, unrealistic expectations!

This girl *want flowers* for Valentine’s Day but I also want that next season of Santa Clarita Diet we were promised and all these streaming services to stop cancelling shows after 2 mini seasons

Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets and bumped up our sales today, knowing an audience is coming to see our show has made me feel a lot of good on an otherwise not so great day 🩵

Disappointed to be strung along for a week after being promised a trial shift, only to get a rejection email out of nowhere. Job hunting is a rollercoaster!

She doesn’t want flowers, she wants this song to record itself

Trying to plan and think of ways to market&promote my little funny musical about being a barista

Show plans for this year are underway and I am so excited ✨ 🌬️ #TravellingMusician #Ukulele #FemaleSongwriters #SoftPop #FolkPopmusic #CuteandCosy

I’m just throwing it out there—I’m a writer and English tutor with an MLitt in Creative Writing from UofG, and I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. So… 1/2

Making friends is why I love social media 😻

Real ones knew Hugh Grant was a musical star before Paddington 2 🌟🩶 (I’m doing my own funny song in March!) 🏷️ #popgoesmyheart #hughgrant #paddington2 #comedy #femalecomedian #funny #funnyfyp #travellingmusician #musicalcomedy #funnysongs
