You don’t need to write every day to be a ‘real writer’

January 5, 2023 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged Writing, writing advice, writing tips | Leave a comment

I’ve written a lot about writing advice – the good and the bad – but if there is one piece of ‘accepted wisdom’ I’d like to see killed by fire, it’s ‘REAL writers write every day’. ‘Real writers write every day’, you are told, as if being a writer is an uncontrollable impulse that must […]

Writing resolutions for people who hate resolutions

January 3, 2023 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged Writing, writing tips | Leave a comment

I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s resolutions. In part this is due to my fondness for seeing autumn, with its ‘back to school new notebook’ vibe (and the fact that my birthday is in September) as a much more natural fresh start, in part because my schedule tends to be frantic from November […]

Failure – the ultimate F-word

April 27, 2022 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged arts, personal, Writing, writing advice | Leave a comment

In an unequal world where we are encouraged to monetise every aspect of our lives, do we need to redefine what ‘failure’ really is? And maybe consider that sometimes – often, even – it might actually be a good and necessary thing? As you can tell from how often I’ve updated this blog over the […]

For those of you who like a nice romcom, my book The Bridesmaid Blues (“perfect for fans of Lindsey Kelk” and “a smarter, funnier Bridget Jones’ Diary”) is only 99p on Kindle all month! For those who don’t, my novel Doll (“holy fuck, this book, who is this woman?”) and short story collection No Love […]

Halloween book promo

Yes, I know I have been very quiet lately – work, life, the usual, with the pandemic having sapped most of my resources – but since it’s officially spooky season, I am doing a price promo for Blood Burns throughout October: get it on Kindle for a mere 99p. Which considering it is an absolute […]

Promo in a pandemic

May 28, 2021 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged Blood Burns, Dark Dates, promo, promotion | Leave a comment

It’s probably a sign of just how derailed I have been by the pandemic that I haven’t actually posted that much about my new book, Blood Burns, being out. Those who have waited patiently for this – the latest installment of the Dark Dates books – will know that it’s been overdue for a while, […]

It’s here! New Dark Dates book is finally out

March 14, 2021 · by traceysinclair | in Uncategorized | tagged Blood Burns, books, Dark Dates | Leave a comment

Yup, it’s been a LONG wait (sorry!) but the new Dark Dates book is finally out. You can buy it in paperback or for Kindle here. It’s a bit weird launching a book in a pandemic but I did have a couple of drinks to celebrate…
