I’m really excited to tell you about a new linky I’m (jointly) starting next week. It’s called ‘What I’m Writing’ and it’s for all you fellow writers, poets and bloggers out there.
Regular readers will know that I love writing. I also love writing about writing and this blog is full of posts about writing challenges I’ve set myself, my aspirations, moments of self-doubt, successes and knock-backs. If it’s about writing and I’m thinking it, then it’s usually here.
I also love reading about other people’s writing, whether it’s to feel inspired by their success or to read about their doubts and moments of writer’s block and think ‘Phew, it’s not just me!’ And I like to be a supportive commenter, in fact that’s one of the most important things about blogging to me – the community.
In all these things I know I am not alone – pondering and procrastinating seems to be part of being a writer!
So with all of this in mind, Chrissie from Muddled Manuscript and I have decided to start our ‘What I’m Writing’ linky to share all these sorts of posts. We hope to grow a community of writers who can support each other, cheer each other on and generally help us all feel we are not alone. So whether you’re a published writer or just nervously putting pen to paper for the first time (or anything in between), and whatever it is you’re working on whether it’s novels, short stories, poetry, scriptwriting or blog posts… we’d love to read about it.
The linky will be every Tuesday and alternate between our two blogs. We’ll be posting a monthly prompt too which we hope will spark discussion and get us all on the same page.
It’s launching on Tuesday 9th September (a week today !) We’d love to see you there!
Woohoo. Excited!
Yay!
How exciting and what a great idea. Hope to join in next week. xx
Would love to see you there Elizabeth – have been wondering how your writing is going. Xx

Great idea! I’m away next week and a bit inconsistent about joining writing linkys but will read and join in when I have something to share!
Great, We’d love you to join in and of course there’s no pressure to link up every week – just whenever suits you! Thanks Rachael.
Oh, I love this sound of this! Will definitely link up when I have something appropriate … Would an old post be okay for the first week?
Of course! Yes please do and I’m glad you like the idea xx
Sounds good x
Hope you can join us! X
