A lil sneak peek of the story I've been working on

A lil sneak peek of the story I've been working on recently. The madness of my brain sorted into a complex system of post-it notes and spreadsheets 🙈

To give some context, my work-in-progress is a dual timeline story, which I've found is a killer when it comes to plotting 🕰

If any other writers have experience writing a story with two timelines, I'd love to know how you plan and what your process is 🤔

Do you work on both timelines individually first then weave them together later? Or write them in order of story beats, as they happen? Gimme all your tips! (Please 🙈)

Thrilled to say one of my short stories, called 'A Thousand Tiny Pieces', has nabbed a top 20 spot in the @swoop_books_ competition! 🎉 It's going to be included in collection from Swoop Books that's coming out in book form in Spring 2021 📚

Some have champagne, but I'm off to have some celebratory risotto 💃

If you're looking for something to read before bed

If you're looking for something to read before bed, this book is beauuutiful, heavy on the sloth content 🦥 and the first poem is Titanic-themed. It's like it was written for me!

The perfect thing to read at night after watching too many crime documentaries...

I'm constantly pulling these three off my shelf for tips, motivation and templates.

✍🏻 Eats, Shoots and Leaves for an entertaining way to get to grips with grammar

📚 On Writing for a masterclass from one of the greats

🐱 Save The Cat for the most comprehensive guide to fiction plotting and structure I've ever read

Any more I should add to the list? 🤔

(I'm thinking Story Genius so if anyone has any specifics about what it can help with I'd love to know! 😊)

I'm not bitter, I swear... 😅🤪

The shiny bit: Just got word that one of my short stories will be published in next month's Prima magazine 🎉

The not-so-shiny bit: I wrote about fifteen pretty awful short stories in the last couple of months, and polished up 6 of them to submit to different magazines and journals, and this was the only one that didn't get rejected. Moral of the story... keep writing! 💪

📷: Here's one I had published back in 2014 that's pretty cringey to read now 😂 I think I've improved...

Pulling this old photo out of the archives because when you stay up all night to watch the Super Bowl, you are not camera ready! 😂😳

Last night I polished up the first three chapters of a manuscript for a competition I've been dying to enter, which took me about 2 weeks of sleepless nights and going back and forth between "this has potential" and "I need to burn this and start again". I'm sure more than one of you can relate.

I hit submit literally minutes before the deadline, and then celebrated by watching the game and falling asleep right after The Weeknd performed 🏈

A great end to the most manic week of writing I've had in a long time. Cheers to even more words written this week! 🍻
