Writing Tip 28 - Each novel dictates to you its own unique approach. They are like people - unpredictable, sweet, stubborn, giving, frustrating, surprising, wonderful. You can’t preorder. You just have to see where it takes you which is the exciting part of the journey. #writetip
Writing Tip 27 - Print and read your WIP out aloud to your kids, your mum, dad, dog, cat, bear. Imagine that they really are your intended audience. Read it to your young child self. This way you will read with feeling and intent and know when it doesn’t ring true. #writingtip
Writing Tip 13 - Ideas come at the most inconvenient times - in the shower, while driving the car, in the middle of the night. Get out of the shower, stop the car, write notes on ur phone in the dark. Those ideas will happily latch onto the next person if you don’t. #writingtip
Writing Tip 12- it’s hard to know wen a ms is ready. A paid assessment by a prof editor is worth it at this stage. Rejection is part of a writer’s life tho. The Garden of Empress Cassia was rejected by 6 publishers before it was finally picked up by @PenguinBooksAus Be determined
Writing Tip No. 3 - Write a contract to yourself with the date u would like ur MS to be accepted by. Then put it away & forget about it. It worked for me to the month with my 1st novel The Garden of Empress Cassia after Hazel Edwards told us in her writing class to do this 🌟
How to Talk to the Moon - look straight into her eyes and think soft thoughts.
The Gift Tree🌿Imagine if everyone in the world planted a tree there’d be 7.7 billion more trees on earth. & imagine whenever a child was born a tree was planted in the child’s honour. & imagine if the child had to care for that tree all their lives how revered trees would be🌿
