Write a scene using only what can be seen and heard. No thoughts. No backstory. Just the moment unfolding. See how much tension appears.
Let me mentor you through your writing goals. www.debbivoisey.co.uk/mentoring

Your writing doesn’t need to be extraordinary today.
It only needs to be honest. Write one paragraph that tells the truth about something small. A moment, a feeling, a memory.

As writers we are all different. You will find your way and your voice. Want to be brave? You can be. Simply write and you can’t be wrong. Be you!

Setting word goals is okay as long as it doesn’t hinder the creative moment. A writing session where you create 394 words is a chunk towards 1000. No need to rush.

Two Weeks to Writers Reading. Thursday 19th March, 2026 - Featured Reader @jtblackie.bsky.social. Reading slots still open. #writersreading #writing #reading open.substack.com/pub/debbivoi...
Read like a writer today. Notice how a scene opens,
where tension slips in, and what’s left unsaid.
Borrow the technique, not the voice. #emulation of style is ok. debbivoisey.co.uk

Why not start a piece with "The thing he was resisting was..." so you're talking about a character. When you get the answer, ask why, then when you get that answer, ask why again, and so on...
What are you resisting writing right now? The tender bit? The truthful bit? The uncomfortable bit?
That may be exactly where the energy is.

Feeling stuck? Try shrinking the task. Don’t write a chapter, write a paragraph. Don’t write a paragraph, write one honest sentence.

If I saw that I would be fascinated with him. Wondering why he's so still. What, or who, is he thinking about? Who is thinking of him. 😊

Next week, I'll also be sharing tasters from Issue 6. I'm excited for you to get a feel for what's coming.
Thank you so much. It's an honour. Xx
Attention is a writing muscle. Today, notice one small thing you'd usually miss: a sound, a gesture, a sliver of light. Write 3 lines about it.
