'Cally Taylor can make brewing a pot of tea seem sinister' (Times Book Club). Sunday Times bestseller. Richard & Judy pick. Toots about books, crafting, TV
Sold 14 hampers of my backlist books at my son's school fayre today; a tenner a hamper (with chocolates, a pen and a bookmark added) all proceeds to the PTA. It was fun but I'm knackered now! So much peopling and noise!
More book nook library progress last weekend. Made 61 wooden block books, thirteen books with pages, a bookcase and a fireplace (not featured) and papered the walls with tiny newspapers that say things like 'Titanic' and 'Pears Soap'.

Making good progress with the book nook. I've been using PVA glue which is a little frustrating as I need to wait ages for it to dry but I'm hugely enjoying making it.

FediTips has moved!If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:
Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab
iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!

NB. I didn't have my arm twisted to donate the proceeds. It's the potential humiliation I was resisting. 😁🙈
Spider plant babies for the school Christmas fayre. I have also had my arm twisted to sell hampers of my books - author copies - with all proceeds to the school.
Will now have nightmares about sitting there like a numpty while all the other parents stare at me and no one buys my books. 😬
Ruth WareA thread of ten writing tips for anyone doing #NaNoWriMo (or anyone not doing #NaNo! You can write any time you want).
1) Have an ending in mind. This is the number one tip I give when asked for writing advice. You don't need to plot out the whole book (I don't) but having a solid direction in mind will help keep you on track, and it's really invaluable for the kind of books I write - the kind that require you to drop hints for the readers.
I know crime and thriller writers who don't plot
