As part of @hburghbookfest.bsky.social I’ll be pitching my crime novel to a panel of experts at 12pm tomorrow in Helensburgh Community Hub. It’s just a short train or drive from Glasgow if you fancy hearing more and there are loads of other interesting events as well www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Gla...

Sometimes wine, Gilmore Girls, and pyjamas are the right writing companions.
Excited to have the first strange short story I’ve had published in a while in @storytreezine.bsky.social an available to read here: www.georgiafrancis.com/product-page...
Sometimes being watched over by a cursed being is the right state in which to write.
I just don't think you're fulfilling your whimsy macros, bro. You're not trinketmaxxing. You aren't achieving your peak crow performance. Are you even trinketpilled, bro? Have you done your "sense of childlike joy" reps yet? Bro.

Sometimes in the Botanics with matcha is the right place to write.
Sometimes during a storm is the right time to write.
I have a PhD in English Literature but stationery or stationary stops me everytime.
Sometimes as the sun sets is the right time to write.
Sometimes bed is the right place to write.
Always shouting at me to do more writing.
Back in my new favourite writing spot in Hillhead Library.
Being a writer means thinking “this is brilliant” & “this is bullshit” at the same time
Is this a brilliant week or a bullshit one?
new form rejection just dropped
Unsolicited writing advice, no. #13:
Don't be afraid of failure. Failures are milestones on the road to success. If something hasn't worked, find out why. Take a different approach next time. And remember; every time you try something new, you're running a risk. Embrace it. It's how things get done.
Trying to slowly migrate everything good from the cursed app over here because I can’t survive on just photo and video social media. Wish me luck.
