Edits and revisions are not the most fun part of writing a book, but they are essential. It's all part of the journey towards being published - so it's #itsnowornever Im also excited to be working with critique partners to see how I can make my WIP even more polished. One of many ways to grow as a writer. #carolematthews #carolematthewsbooks #booksandsucculents #amwriting #amediting

I'm excited to be starting the second draft of my current WIP. This is where I'll go back over my timeline, make sure it all fits, and see what's missing. I had another great research session today and know I have a few adjustments to make, but it's exciting to know I am mostly on the right track. #thereturn #nicholassparks #nicholassparksbook @nicholassparks #booksandflowers #amwriting

So glad Spring has arrived. I enjoy spending time in the garden, but much more when the weather is warmer. ??? Who else loves spending time in their garden? #thishasbeenabsolutelylovely #jessicadettmann @jessicadettmannauthor #booksandplants #succulentgardens #springtime #australianstories #fivestarread

Do you like to read about what goes on behind-the-scenes in different industries? What about when it's the set of a horror movie? #ikissedagirl #jennetalexander #newadult #romancenovel #netgalley #sourcebookscasablanca

It was so good to meet up with both family and friends over the weekend. ???☕ I've signed up to do the six month Write Your Novel course with @writerscentreau that starts on Monday, so I expect to be busy most weekends for a while, so it was lovely to have a relaxing weekend. #meetmeatlennons #melaniemyers @melanieannmyers #brisbanewriters #australianstories #amwriting

Long lunch with lots of laughs, encouragement and inspiration. Hope no-one was eavesdropping. ? #brisbanewriters @authoravajanuary @annawinson_author @gabriellevillalba.author @thecommutingwriter #writingpals
