I had a fun almost hour of #writing while my wife took our daughter to dance class. I’m still finding the “voice” of my character for this #WIP. I’m thinking about scrapping and rewriting what I just wrote. It feels more like telling than showing… but at least I got it written down. Now just have to fix it next time I sit down to write #writingcommunity #amwriting #amwritingya #author #authors #authorsofmastodon

Wandering in the deep woods!

🦊 There's something that always tickles me about animals in human-centric worlds. These are a few of my favorite sketches from the past few years. 🦘

Hello Fediverse!

📕 It's time for me to start posting stuff here!

I'm a very small-time LGBTQIA+ writer/illustrator who is currently in the process of becoming less small-time. Stay tuned for plenty of 'in-progress' work, doodles, late-night musings, and more!

Bear with me, I am just getting back to Social Media after a VERY long break.

2022 worked out the 2nd best year financially for me as a writer in the 15 years I've been full time ( just behind 2021... the difference being my self-published stuff is now mostly passed its sell by date and sales of those fell off the cliff.) Onward to 2023 we go... #AmWritingYA
I’m a bit rubbish on posting here, but just found the wonderful @peterbunzl today and it’s starting to feel a bit more like home. #amwriting #AmWritingYA

In theory, I shouldn’t need to ask - I publish books as a hobby, but these are very niche and to a very specific market (the @Indieover40 community which is active on Tw, FB, Insta etc).

When it comes to my own writing though, and particularly my YA fiction, I’m pretty much clueless.

All help/advice appreciated.

Dear #writersofmastodon

If you self-publish your books, where do you sell from?
I’m loathe to use Amazon for tax-paying reasons (them, not me) and just have a Lulu.com page with which I admittedly do very little.

Is there a better way?

That's me using this app for the first time, today. For those who don't know me yet, my details are in the photo below. I've been writing since 1996, written nine books, self-published seven of them and have gone back to university recently to study for my honours degree in creative writing at the age of 40. Hoping to do a masters afterwards, just for the craic 🙂 ... #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfiction #AmWritingYA #AmWritingMystery #amwritingnonfiction

Good morning, #writer friends! I’ve got about 8 more chapters left on my #novel in progress, so I’m making coffee and then getting ready to dig in. I #write out of order, so these scenes are actually toward the end of the #book—anyone else do that too? And anyone else up for a #saturdaysprint? I’m hoping to get lots done this morning!
