Hi X-Twits, time to reintroduce myself. I've been away from Twittex for a few years. But now I'm baaaack. I'm gearing up to publish my series which has taken me 547 years to complete (well, books 7 & 8 still to edit😬) Lots of new faces, #writers, so pls, follow earns a follow!🙏

It's a cosy Sunday for me.
I'm reading through my manuscript for book one, faffing with last minute fixing and tweaks (last minute, ha, as if it ever ends!)
What have you got on?
For you, what would your 🙌PERFECT🙌 Sunday to look like?

What this guy said. He's got the right of it. And I wish I had the time and wasn't too jaded to have written something like this myself. @7_pigeons thanks for this! I'm chucking this article at anyone who asks me what I think of AI.

I asked this question a while ago and only got three responses. So I'm trying again.
What's a good interval to wait between releasing books in a series? I have 8 books. Six are ready to go.
Do I wait 2 months between each? 4 months? Longer

I'm doing editing - it's for my lead magnet.
The scene is one that I already looooong ago cut out of my books. I cut it out because the scene had to change, & the story changed a bit, AND a character.
But now that it's starting to look like quality I want it back in the books!

Ughhh, I have to work on my lead magnet for my newsletter.
The last few weeks all that's been in my head is 'Do the newsletter stuff!'
Bored of it now.
Can someone else do it? I want to paaaaint more.😍 Look what I just painted:

In case you were wondering what my books are actually about...
Here's a list of what they've GOT. Basically, just your traditional: 'One enemy. One damsel. One hero.' trope for those who enjoy the classic stuff.

Chapter writing advice:
Start LaTE. Exit EaRLy.
Because starting too early = boring waffle; not being economical with word count.
Carry on too late = boring waffle; you've missed the opportunity to end it on a clean hook to entice the reader to read on.

WRITERS this is how it is:
Writer of the 1st draft: untamed, reckless, haphazard, beautifully imperfect; young
Writer of the consecutive drafts:
Ruthless surgeon, expert enricher and critical eye of know-how; wisened

Yo yo. Dunno what YOU'RE doing right now but I'm weekending as of now! 😎
This is my Friday 🤩
I feel like that warrants a take-out to see me in to my three day long weekend, yes?
(There is a wrong answer😊)

Younger me described a character as: "He was warm and brown." That was literally it. 20+ years later, it's 39 words about his brown clothes, brown beard, and all his warmliness and fatherlyness and grounding-liness.... Basically he's still warm and brown, but better.

Me in 2020 after finishing my first drafts: "Cut things out?? Pish! I won't have to do that. I wrote MY books structurally perfect." Hahahahaha. 2026: Books 7 & 8 still need major overhauls BEFORE I can do finer edits. Boyyy have I grown. #summonthegharda #AmEditing

Update from the world of me:
I've submitted all my queries & set my timers.
📢Agents, you've got until the end of 2026 to make your move.
If thou shalt not move then my finger is hitting that Amazon button next year like I've waited 20 years to do it. (Coz I actually have.)😊
