There are prolific writing days and there are slower writing days. Yesterday I managed to come up with a great name for a fictional frog. There are no frogs in my current project. #timewellspent #fantasywriters #amwritingfantasy #fantasyauthor #WritingCommunity #indieauthor

I love the opening to RoboCop: after the violent murder of a police officer one of the gangsters yells "Goodnight sweet prince", which is a quote from Hamlet. Robbery, murder, a quick quip from literature, then escape. They don't make thugs like that these days. #robocop

Guardians of the Galaxy x the Lies of Locke Lamora Her hands screamed in pain as she clutched the jagged rock face. Screwing up her eyes against the icy rain, Raiden exhaled slowly through her teeth. "Fuck my life." #1stLinePit #C #Q #A #SF #SFF #RF #CMe

Frankfurt is a weird time for writers; it can feel like everyone is getting 6 figure deals (they’re not!). To do something for those who aren’t yet at that stage, I’m offering a free critique of your first 10k words & synopsis (fiction only) - to enter RT by midnight Sat! 📚✍️

I've just entered the Jericho Writers #First500 competition for a chance to win a one-to-one with an agent, a full MS assessment and a lifetime Jericho Writers Membership. What a prize! Wish me luck...is a bit more chirpy than something I'd normally say

Researched agents in Writers and Artists today. Started with a ctrl+F for "sci-fi". Unfortunately the majority of the hits were for "does not rep sci-fi" #fail #WritingCommunity #amquerying #writer #sff #scifi #writing #literaryagent

My husband's laptops and my laptops for work and writing seem to have formed a conglomerate. Watch me grab the wrong one when I leave for the office at 6:45 AM on Monday. Also no prizes for guessing we both work in tech #WritingCommunity #writerslife #author #writing #amquerying

Guardians of the Galaxy x The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet. Where do you go when you don't want to be found? Earth of course! The real problem is when your enemies follow you... #questpit #Q #A #RF #SF #SFF

Watchdogs x Princess Mononoke When a cybernetically enhanced individual is thrust into the natural world, he develops a unique relationship with nature #questpit #W #A #F

Started the certified ethical hacker qualification a few weeks ago. Partly because cyber security is interesting, but mainly because it's really helping me write an authentic cyberpunk character #writing #cyberpunk #writerslife #author #scifi #fantasy #writinglife

I have worked in academic journals publishing nearly my entire career. Just spotted this festschrift which ACS produced for The Big Bang Theory hanging on Sheldons office wall. It made my day. #academicjournals #publishing #thebigbangtheory #sheldoncooper
