Inkfeather Pages is where I share the messier, more honest side of writing life — drafting, revising, the odd garden-fatigued Sunday, and everything in between. Expect notes from the desk, behind-the-scenes glimpses of works in progress, and the occasional ramble about what it actually takes to finish a novel.
Jemma Weir is a Scottish indie author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy with bite: magic is messy, love is fierce, and family means everything. Fantasy was her first love. Now she writes the kind of stories she always wanted to read — gritty, heartfelt, and just a little unhinged.
Week 8 was all Short Stories. After last week’s hiccup with the Death and Visions Prequel, I managed to finish it this week. It’s still a little rough, but I think I have all the foundations in place. The Highland Rift Pack Prequel for Staci has been through quite a few drafts and was still missing something; thanks to my writer’s group, I think I managed to figure out what that was, and I added

Week 4 started well, but I realised something was wrong as I began to re-read Book 4 of the Highland Rift Pack. The pieces of the start were okay, but I knew the order still needed to be changed. It was also missing something, and I got 80% of the way through reading it before I finally realised what it was. There was no action. I was so focused on fixing the romance that I
Week 3 progress has been fantastic. It flowed well and felt easy, and I got a ton done. I always love it when I can make a list of accomplishments like this; with writing longer content, it doesn’t happen that often. What’s coming next week? After next week, it’s going to be a few weeks for just book 4.

Week 2 Progress – I made it to the end of the Read Aloud! ????But now I have to go back to the start and do it all over again. There were two semi-major changes I made during this edit, so now I need to circle back to the start and re-do the read-aloud to make sure I’ve not introduced any new errors. Overall, the changes this week were much smoother, though it took a
Week 1 has been challenging. After doing a read-through and edit on book 3 within a week, I thought I was there. But then I did the read-aloud and realised that it was still broken. Worse, this week, I found two plot holes. The first plot hole was the romance couple’s break-up point. It was such a small thing but it made such an impact and meant I had to make a ton of tiny
