This is behind a paywall so I’ve done you all a favour because @caitlinmoran has a brilliant idea that we all, well me anyway, need.
Accidentally said "Many thank you" to a woman in a shop.
A question for the wise #WritingCommunity - how can you tell if your scene has enough space to breathe? How do you know your prose is perfectly concise rather than giving the reader whiplash? #amwriting #amediting
I dunno who needs to hear this, but your story's POV is valid. 1st, 2nd, 3rd; dual, multi; close, omniscient, limited; past, present, future. Whatever POV tears the heart out of your story's chest and offers it, still beating, to the reader is 💯 the POV you should be using.
Buying new pens means I #amediting, right? Have also instigated a ban on red pen, as I don't need to be shouting at myself every time I am making no sense. Not enough red ink in the world anyway. #amwriting
This afternoon I finished the first draft of a novel. Reached the Actual End. With words. And sentences. My kids couldn't care less. But I know I did it. #amwriting #WritingCommunity #CheersToMe
Such a helpful column! Have a read if, like me, you find plots rather impossible 😵💫

I get told frequently by Conservative MPs that the public aren’t bothered about private companies running NHS services and making a profit. I don’t think this is correct. If you would like profit-making to be removed from the NHS, pls RT. Let’s see!

I’ve been trying out some new Derwent charcoal pencils. Dark, and white. Scraping powder from the pencils with a blade, and applying with a dry soft bristle brush. A bit messy, and new for me, but rather satisfying.
@moniza_hossain Especially if they’re comparing you to that lovely but professionally lit & tweaked photo of Nicola. Like, she’s gorgeous, but so are you and that’s just a regular candid snap - the fact that you hold your own next to a magazine shoot photo REALLY says something.
