When I'm stressed I react with flu-like symptoms. I'll develop a mild fever, I'll start a nervous cough, my throat will be sore.

I've also attended a convention last weekend so I'm currently playing the "am I super stressed or about to get sick" game. Fun times.

#WritersCoffeeClub - Do you suffer from imposter syndrome?

I'm frankly terrible at this writing thing. The better I get, the more I doubt myself. The more I learn, the worse I think I am.

I like to stand in my own way. I excel at paralysing myself with self-doubt. And I'm an excellent procrastinator.

Instead of trying and failing (or succeeding) I don’t do anything… and that’s frankly silly but I can’t seem to break the cycle.

#WritersCoffeeClub - What genres might you try?

Welcome to my Achilles heel. I'm eternally genre-confused. I read everything. By that I mean I read EVERYTHING. From Austen to Chaucer, from romance to thriller, if it has an engaging plot & characters, I'm here.

It is my eternal curse to start every day by thinking: why don't I write a cosy mystery? A thriller perhaps? How about a space opera?

I don't have a specific love, a genre that calls my name, and I'm jealous of the people who do...

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/12. If you write novels, would you consider a short story?

I started out writing short stories, mostly dystopian.

Then I progressed to writing a novella series.

And here I am, trying to write a novel. Yes, I'm an underwriter. I prefer short fiction to write.

Reading, however, I want the chonkiest chonkers possible!
