People keep asking me for this one. Let's do it today. Follow #TenWaysToGetBackYourMojo to collect them all!
1. The muse. Inspiration. Mojo. Doesn't matter what you call it, we all know what it's like. Sometimes the Muse just doesn't turn up. And Covid, lockdown, social media and current events aren't helping. So - how to get back in the zone? #TenWaysToGetBackYourMojo
2. First of all, don't panic. Just because you've lost your mojo doesn't mean you're broken. But if you've been struggling vainly for months, it might be a mental health issue. If so, get professional help and practice self-care. The work can wait. #TenWaysToGetBackYourMojo

This one's interesting, and I've never tried it. Follow #TenThingsAboutMagicRealism to collect them all!
1. Magic realism has many forms. I'm using the term in its loosest form, which is, as I see it, the inclusion of fantasy or magical elements in an otherwise "realistic", real-world narrative. #TenThingsAboutMagicRealism
2. The first thing is to ensure the reader's suspension of disbelief. That means making the "realistic" aspects of your real-world scenario as familiar and relatable as possible. That way your fantasy will have a solid background on which to play. #TenThingsAboutMagicRealism

People who care about words, compare and contrast the following sentences:
1. A man shot six people in Plymouth.
2. Six people were killed by a shooter in Plymouth.
3. Six people died in a shooting in Plymouth.
"A man shot six people in Plymouth." This is the simplest and most direct description: active voice, with full prominence given to the subject of the verb; that is, the man who shot six people.
"Six people were killed by a shooter in Plymouth." This version is in the passive voice, giving prominence to the six people, rather than the shooter. Even though it's a longer sentence, the meaning is already less clear, and the information that a man was involved has been lost.

Good call. Follow #TenThingsAboutWritingCrime to collect them all!
1. Crime fiction comes in all shapes and sizes. The police procedural; the cosy detective; the psychological thriller. With so much to look at, let's concentrate on the actual crime itself. #TenThingsAboutWritingCrime
2. The great majority of crime novels deal with just one type of crime: murder. #TenThingsAboutWritingCrime

Cup of tea: ten minutes to kill. You know what that means, Twitter: #Storytime.
New followers, to explain. #Storytime; in which I write a new story, live and unvarnished, on Twitter. And it always begins like this:
"There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve."
There once was a man who lived on a hill. The hill was not a large one, but it gave the man certain advantages. #Storytime

Okay. Today's #TenTweets is on the timely subject of TITLES. Follow the hashtag to collect them all! #TenThingsAboutChoosingaTitle.
1. Choosing the name of your book is one of the big challenges for any author. I find that a work-in-progress doesn't quite have an identity until it has a name. #TenThingsAboutChoosingaTitle
2. Although it doesn't count as plagiarism to use the same title as another book, it can be hard to find something original. It's worth Googling your proposed title, just to make sure. #TenThingsAboutChoosingaTitle
