Empty beach. Empty head. This mornings dog walk east Scotland
Sound on for sound of the seaside.
The Holiday is one of my fav Christmas movies and now you can stay in the picturesque English cottage used as the location. If only they could guarantee snow & a handsome neighbour!
What’s your fav festive movie. My family fav is Elf.

So sad to hear news of Terry Hall. Lyrics that hit home better than any news story & talk to us yet, heartfelt beats dancing still.

The Scottish Historic Buildings Trust location I used to work out of looking splendid in the snow.

So many stories in these walls.

Downstairs units currently The Merchant Cafe and Home of Hopcroft.

Day 6 of #Shedvent: You leave the market, laden with gifts. Yarns and silks in every hue; hard-carved toys in ash wood; puzzle boxes with pearl inlay; sugared roses and wild cherry wine. One more mug of hot spiced rum, and you resume your journey, driving deeper into the woods...
It’s done! 50,426 words during November for #nanowrimo I now have a draft to work with & couldn’t be more pleased. 😃
Thanks to my writer friends for the support & to family/friends for cheering me on. ✍️
There will be time for revising/editing but first - rest, walks, family time & festive planning 🎄

A quick #introduction:

We're a genre fiction publisher based in the UK, but you can find our books in the US too.

We were born in 1974 and are therefor exactly the same age as Robbie Williams.

Since 2017 we've been an imprint of @canongatebooks

These days we mainly publish crime and mystery books, but we've been known to venture into horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and the occasional romance.

We publish around 7 to 10 new #books every month so there's always something new to check out.

We are open for web submissions for the next 7 days.

More details and guidelines here: https://www.ellipsiszine.com/submissions/

3 days to go and 3,000 words to reach my "finish" line of 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo.
Luckily, I work well with a deadline & a bit of pressure 😂
Hope to see you at the end of the month with a Winner's Badge!
We can do it!
