Welcome to week sixty-eight of What I’m Writing. Thanks so much to everyone who linked up last week – I loved reading all your posts!
At this point every week, I pick a few of last week’s posts to highlight. It’s never a straightforward task (too many fab posts) but this is one of those times when I find it particularly tricky to choose. I really want to flag up Emily’s post about how to write a book quickly – so useful to indie authors – and Tara’s thoughts on how to get through a creative slump were SO helpful too. Then there was Kamsin’s post about creativity and motherhood, and Sophie’s musings about the sexisim in her bookshelves – both really thought-provoking! And I loved reading about Reneé’s progress with her novel too. I could go on but I can’t include them all – but please pop back and read all last week’s linkups if you can!
So, if you’re new here (welcome!) you might be wondering what #WhatImWriting is all about. You can find all the details here but the short(er) version is I’m a writer who loves blogging about my writing process and reading about those of others. This linky is for all you fellow writers, poets, bloggers etc. out there to share posts about what you’re writing (and all your hopes and fears, triumphs and tears) with a group of people who understand what you’re going through.
I’ve also set up a private group on Facebook that all linkers are welcome to join. It’s somewhere we can share work and have a chat about all things writerly (and whatever else we fancy really). It’s a ‘secret group’ which means you’ll need an invitation to join so once you’ve linked up just let me know if you want me to send an invite.
If you’d like to join in you’re very welcome! There are just a few suggestions for taking part:
- Link up any post (old or new) that is to do with writing/blogging etc.
- Please either use my badge on the post (copy and paste the HTML code below) or link to my blog. I will share your post on Twitter in return.
- Read and comment on as many other posts in the linky as you can. What I’m Writing has developed a lovely, supportive community and we’d love you to join in
- If you’d like to tweet your post feel free to use the hashtag #WhatImWriting. If you tweet me a link to your post @writingbubble then I will RT.
Please link up below – just click on the blue button that says ‘add your link’ and follow the instructions. I look forward to reading your posts.


I’m interested in the Facebook Group. You can find me pretty easily on Facebook, not many Kamsin Kaneko’s in the world.:-)

Hi Kamsin, I’ve just sent you an email invite to the group. I found you on FB but the group wouldn’t let me just add you – FB is a bit weird like that. Anyway, let me know if you don’t get the invite!

Many thanks for hosting ‘What I’m Writing’…I’m linking up with a piece written in 2013 for UK Handmade Magazine. I love Children’s Scrapstores and love spreading the word about this fabulous community resource. Off to read some other posts now!
