Author: Susan T. Braithwaite

Royal Navy veteran from Scotland. My journey into writing started with a screenwriting certificate program at UCLA Ext. Since then, I've worked as a freelance content writer, erotica author, proofreader, professional beta reader, and content editor. I'm now working hard on my dream writing career: romantic suspense author. When I'm not writing, I can be found drinking too much coffee, obsessing over yarn, and planning world domination with my husband, jezbraithwaite.blog, and our squirrel army.

I seem to be having snags posting directly to micro.blog via the Mac app and Sunlit and Icro apps. The posts show up on my blog but not on my MB TL—they eventually show as a link to my blog, but not as the original post. Any ideas of what I’m doing wrong?

Welcome to Week 1 of the Friday Fiction Writing Challenge!

This week’s random word is: Coffee.

Here’s my response, and a little on how I went about it.

With the prompt in mind and panic in my heart, I set the timer for five minutes and wrote what popped into my head about coffee.

Here it is, unedited:

It’s Pride month and my house is filled with pretty rainbows! 😍🏳️‍🌈
It’s amazing what a wee bit of Fablon on the window and some sunshine can do.

Microblogging Mishap

You know that moment when you think you’ve mastered the dark arts of microblogging and IFTTT, and then you end up posting ALL your old Instagram posts EVERYWHERE? No? Just me 😳

Editing Announcement

Effective today, I’m pulling my editing services for the next few months–I’ll be back mid-September.

I’m taking a much-needed break from editing to concentrate on my writing–which has been on the backburner since I started editing.

I want to say a huge thank you to my amazing clients, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Found this Braithwaite coffee in Dundee with @jez_braithwaite on a recent trip. We finally got around to tasting it today… It’s delicious 😋 and as it’s a day off for us, we had to eat some Lily O’Brien choccies 🤤
