The love hate relationship I keep a tango with. Will I give it up? No. Take a break? Yes! Too in love with this dance to do so. The quote has been attributed to Dorothy Parker. #inkandimagination #lovehaterelationship #thetango

In the age of social media where you're communicating with people who don't know you, emojis save face. Or the absence of it. I especially love the dancing woman emoji; confident and carefree. Drop some of your faves below in the comments #emojiparty #writingwithoutwords #inkandimagination

We're going out for coffee... What are we having? Flat white, strong black, latte or cappuccino? #5amWritersClub #Coffeeshot #AmWriting #CoffeeandWriting

Me, I left with another notebook⭐

Nothing a cup of coffee won't fix... Because tell me why this piece of writing isn't coming together? Tell me why I'm unable to crash, bosh off this cliffhanger pieces splattered everywhere, the way I see it in my head. #writingcommunity #inkandimagination #writingproblems #WomensFiction

What about you? Any ice cream in your writing projects? #inkandimagination #summersidekick #icecreamsherbet #writingcommunity #vanillaicecream #pistacchioicecream

The protagonist loves vanilla ice cream. She wanted blue bubble gum sugar crystals but blue lips on a 1st date isn't a good look. #inkandimagination #summersidekick #icecreamsherbet #writingcommunity

I treated myself to vanilla ice cream #inkandimagination #summersidekick #icecreamsherbet #writingcommunity

Current status: 10% writing, 90% preventing this from melting. #icecreamshot #inkandimagination #summersidekick #icecreamsherbet #writingcommunity

We are all with you my feathered friend #heatwave

Once I'd finished my 1st body of work and started querying, I realised I couldn't decide on the genre. That was a headache so once I started the 2nd body of work I got rid of that problem and plotted for a genre. However, that had its restrictions on my creativity. #5amWritersClib #WritingProcess

It's as it says... 'straight talk from a divorce lawyer' but I've chuckled so many times during the read, that I'm gonna have to read it again. #TheManILove #divorcelawyers #jamesjsexton #WhenTheRhythmChanges

The repetition of words or phrases at the end of successive sentences. Helps drive home a point. It's rhythmic too. #5amWitersClub #InkandImagination #writingskills #CoffeeShot #LiteraryTerm

And yes you read that right. Epistrophe not Apostrophe. #writingCommunity #WritingSkills #CoffeeShot #LiteraryFiction

Discovering new things on the regular with writing. Like this literary term. #5amWitersClub #InkandImagination #writingskills #CoffeeShot #LiteraryTerm

I heard this question today, and it got me thinking. I write travel infused contemporary women's fiction but I had to think about it. Decided it's symbiotic. Imagination feeds off life, feeds off imagination. But what about you? #WritingCommunity #InkandImagination #romancelandia #5amWitersClub

Most people know David Hockney for his visual art. I had the pleasure of viewing but I first encountered him through this treat: a first edition of China Diary, written by Stephen Spender and illustrated by David Hockney 1981

A writer's indulgence. One of which is reading. But how do we separate the pages? The ones we've already consumed from the ones waiting to be? Today's indulgence is this stylishly made bookmark. #LiteratiLuxuries #InkandImagination #FridaysWritersIndulgence #WritersIndulgence #WritingCommunity

We don't usually see each others headers. Heres mine

Those 1st attempts are very likely to be questionable. May even take some 200 attempts later before it starts feeling right. But the handbag of regrets is much heavier to carry than the handbag of chances taken. #WomensFiction #inkandimagination #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #writingskills

2/3 What's fascinating is that almost nothing survived the journey unchanged. The story I thought I was writing and the story that ultimately emerged are barely recognisable. The characters took over, unexpected themes surfaced and somewhere along the way a trip to Jamaica ensued. #WriteSky

Writers remember... Your clock Your time Your journey Your path It doesn't need to be perfect. Only to keep going. #writesky #writinginspo #inkandimagination #ContemporaryFiction #WomensFiction

Today's unpleasant news. That novel your dithering on can only be spilled by you. So go spill It! That's it #CoffeeShot #InkandImagination #WritingCommunity #ContemporaryFiction #Booksky

Forgive the plot for not coming together just yet. File the rejections under 'ClosedDoor'. Turn no one is buying my book to someone has bought my book. Because good things take time. #5amWritersClub #WriteSky #InkandImagination

Here too, wear the nicest of clothes. Spend an entire weekend at a fancy hotel, all on my writing. #MyArt #CallMeBlair #Wrongdoing #InkAndInspiration #WritingANovel

Can also hold down a full time job, go to university. Study Law. With the magic of #WhenTheRhythmChanges #5amWritersClub #WomenWriters #WomensFiction

When the weather refuses to play ball in the UK, write myself out on a Caribbean Cruise. And of course #WhatHappensInACruiseStaysOnTheCruise #Writers #WriterSky #CaribbeanCruise

It's true. I get to escape. Back to places I've been to or places yet to tick off a bucket list. #WritingCommunity #ContemporaryFiction

And though these moments often find me when my time and effort belongs somewhere else. When a deadline looms on something else they're often when the most beautiful storytelling unfolds. #Writers #InkandImagination #WritingInspo #LiteraryFiction #BookSky #WritingCommunity #words

It's derived from the Latin word scripturire (to desire to write). The moments I crave. #Writers #InkandImagination #WritingInspo #LiteraryFiction #coffeeshot #WritingCommunity
