Looking forward to filling my notebook with new ideas.

It's #caturday again and Teddy is spending it his way.

Of course I had to visit the bookshop when I was shopping in another city today.

I used to dislike editing but I absolutely love it now. It's such a joy to see a story improving.

Aargh! Two story ideas at the same time. I think it's a reflection of my current brain status.

Yesterday was my day off and I had an idea for a title for a new picture book but the ideas weren't flowing. Today, I'm at work and of course the ideas are all forming. Typical!

Writing when I'm tired is definitely a waste of time. I've just read something I drafted last night and it's probably the worst thing I've ever written!

After that big stretch he fell off the bed! 😢

Wish me luck while I try to revive a picture book I wrote 5 years ago! After all this time, I still like it and I think it would make children giggle.

Just doing some editing on a story I wrote yesterday. I've cut 50 words but I need to cut at least 50 more - seems like an impossible task at the moment.

New story idea! Yay!
I'm trying my best not to rush into it but...

She chose to sit next to me and that's a huge milestone because she's taken ages to trust anyone ever since we rescued her. 😺

Sometimes it's nice to polish stories you've already written, instead of writing new ones all the time.

I think I've finally managed to edit my current WIP to overcome some issues which my CPs picked up on. It's been a slog but hopefully it's worth it!

think we can all learn from Teddy as to how we spend our Sundays.

Thanks! Yes, Birman and Ragdoll breeds are really similar. 🥰

Peek-a-boo!

Unusually, I've just written a lyrical picture book. I normally write funny stories. I wonder if this style suits me?
#writingcommunity #amwriting

This must be a record for me - I've written two picture book stories in one day! ✍️💕
