You know you wrote your book. No one can take that away from you.
Trust your voice. Have confidence. Keep writing. ✍

If you’re working on a romance or erotica manuscript and would like a human pair of eyes on your work, I’d be delighted to hear about your project. (3/3)

AI has been trained on human writing – often without consent or compensation. Your work isn’t ‘like AI’ because you use em dashes or follow the rule of three. It’s the other way around: AI mimics techniques writers have used for centuries. (2/3)

You Wrote It – Don’t Let AI Tell You Otherwise
Don’t let curiosity or insecurity get the better of you by feeding your work into AI or ‘AI detection’ tools to see how likely it is to be AI-generated. (1/3)

Long weekend ahead, yay!

I’ll be taking the opportunity to spend some quality time with family. Fingers crossed the weather stays like this so my son can enjoy his first egg hunt in the garden. Otherwise, we’ll be moving the egg hunt indoors.

Hope you all have a lovely and relaxing weekend.

The Waterstones exclusive editions of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Ilona Andrews) and Thistlemarsh (Moorea Corrigan) are so pretty! I usually prefer ebooks or paperbacks, but sometimes it’s really hard to resist. 💙📚

Whether you’re fighting writer’s block or imposter syndrome – write.

As Jodi Picoult once said: ‘I may write garbage, but you can always edit garbage. You can’t edit a blank page.’

Someone asked how to find an unfinished comment in Word. While others posted lengthy solutions, here’s a simple fix that works for me: Just try and add a new comment. Word will jump to the one you haven’t finished. 🙂 📝✍️

Writing is a craft that can be learned, and the perfect book – a book that everyone loves – doesn't exist. That's the beauty of reading and writing. 💙📚✍️
