Hello for the first time in ages #pretendpanel!

Apologies for the double post, didn't have enough room

I write because I have stories to tell with the themes I want to explore, and to bring visceral experiences to life for readers to feel things as I do

1/2

Time for a haircut before I park it in a cafe to write

Decided to be indignant against beta no 1 who called my sentences "grating" (no 2 loved them), but still plenty of good suggestions in the report

And while I'm taking a risk with the WIP, I'm gonna go querying

Author Update - 11AM Edition 🖋️

And chapter 3 is done, the shortest so far at 7 A4 pages, so yes I'm worried about that 13 page long first chapter as it'd mean cutting sensory details

What to do? My beta reader was right, characters are better with description

Author Update 🖋️

I finished chapter 2, have gone headlong into chapter 3, I think that first draft energy is flowing because I'm making good progress

Sadly I won't be posting for Friday Morning Authorball, gotta stay committed to the WIP

Onwards and Upwards!

📕 Following along in the wake of The @scifiscavenger.bsky.social I’ve today made a start on “The Cruel Stars” by @birmo.bsky.social and @headofzeus.bsky.social

Met the calm Lieutenant, the grumpy old boy, and now a gang with the cold head 😳

📆 A new month, a brand new TBR.

The theme here is “SciFi September Spreading Smoothly Over Onto October…” 😆

I’ve taken some of The Scavenger’s 🎱 and 🎲 picks, added the extra 📗 from an eager September ’get ahead’, and I’ll try and catch up myself now 🤞🤪
