I'm very lucky to live in the same city as Dylan Thomas did. I've visited the birthplace a few times, a couple of which were for live readings of A child's Christmas in Wales. It's a steep climb. Johnny Depp has been, too. #dylanthomas #awriterslife #poets #undermilkwood #newyork #swansea #welsh
First full-length biography of Paule Marshall, who is a wildly influential "writer's writer" but has been overlooked in the canon and popular imagination. #newrelease #PauleMarshall #AWritersLife #YaleUniversityPress #MaryHelenWashington
A question, friends. When do you typically let your friends/family read your drafts? While you're still writing the first draft, once you've edited the first draft, or something else? I'm excited about my current #WIP, but nervous for others to see it.

Good News: New meds are already making me feel much better mentally, and I can feel my creativity coming back.
Bad News: The revision I was working on is still waiting, lurking on my hard drive, yearning to be finished.

Is it me, or is writing today just the same obstacle course as writing in the 90's, but with different hoops to jump through?

Time to let the chaotic characters face the consequences of their actions! 😂 I may let them run amuck one day, but it’s my turn the next. #AWritersLife
Ok, I know prologues can be kinda controversial, #writingcommunity, but are they really THAT bad? I just had so much fun writing one for my new #WIP! What's your opinion?

As I'm plotting book 8 of The Cambridge Murder Mysteries, I have a little helper sitting nearby... #weekend #awriterslife
2am writing has come to a standstill at the moment. We were in a flow, but now I’m too hot and stuffy to think straight. Got a 15-pager due next week. I’ve written one page this morning…

I'm glad to have a diverse group of beta readers. What I've sent this month:
A serial killer yarn
Part 2 of Dystopian/ dark humor yarn
Part 2 of a #SFF #YA yarn
A children's book
#AWritersLife #KidsLit #WritingCommunity
I can type a novel, but I have to handwrite a children's book.
What's up with that?

Just received a g mail which begins "Hello, I just skim read your book about Mr Barrett, mainly the first half. To ask a blunt question..." #awriterslife
Just made myself laugh uncontrollably* at a scene I'm writing, so I think it must be pretty good. #SummerRealm
*which led to a coughing session, so now I need my sucky sweets. Where did I put my sucky sweets?

Photo of a home office with black walls and framed art on the back wall. A black desk is iin the middle of the photo with a purple exercise ball and the desk chair is on the back side of the desk. Several notecards are tacked to the glass bulletin board behind the desk.
Let the fun begin! While I wait not so patiently for THE MYTH MAKER to hit shelves in July, I'm working towards my goal of getting my second project back to my lovely agent by the end of next month.🤞For pre-order info on my debut go to www.aliedh.com😁📚
