“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

We did it. We managed to get a 2-year-old birthday 🎂 cake-cutting through before tier 4 pushed himself forward. My two granddaughters & their bestie enjoyed the vibe because children can create a mountain out of anything & a party out of 3, LOL 😂 #birthdaygirl #bestie #2yearsold #partytime #lovelife #gratitude #familytime
So yesterday I wasn’t feeling the best, you know, my energy levels were low, had a throbbing pain down my left side & gave writing a miss for the day, but thank Jah (God)for little children, watching my 2-year-old grandson devour his chocolate spread on toast gave me a burst of laughter, which wasn’t good for the pain in my side, but did wonders for my soul. He reminded me of my son at the same age - his daddy, & got me tearful, thinking about time & how it plods along, no matter what. #nowritingtoday #writersdayoff #time #timeisthemaster #timetorest #lovekids #grandson #mydynasty #proudglammy #proudmama #lovemyfamily #forevergrateful

It’s only mid week & the creative work hasn’t stopped. What was really appreciated though, was the end of ‘lockdown.’ So many people were out & about hungry, not so much for food, but for the freedom the end of lockdown brought. After a day of more filming & mentoring, over cocktails my mentee & I did some people-watching from the restaurant window, observing body movements, body language & facial expressions, then creating characters & back-story on the spot. Some of the loneliness & despair that poured from faces & bodies humbled us. Filled us with gratitude. Made us count our blessings, because life doesn’t always hand you roses without the hidden thorns of lessons. #lessons #creative #creativity #creativeday #authors #mentors #people #peoplewatching #blessings #countyourblessings #dontdespair #writersnetwork #gratitude #grateful #humbled #lessonsandblessings
A writers work is never done. ✍️ So last week had me in back to back Zooms, delivering training, creative writing, mentoring & empowering women & girls workshops, not to mention my advocacy work supporting women & young girls at the risk of gender based violence (which has soared during lockdown) . . . Yet still I Write. Writing saves me. Now I’m so looking forward celebrating my art - along with my fellow #twentyin2020 Jacaranda authors as we show the world what 20 black voices sound like bouncing off a page in our online book festival. You’re going to enjoy fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, poetry, romance & crime. Check out the link on the flyer & make it a date - 5th December, the recording available for two days only, so don’t miss out. #zoom #training #jacarandabooks #jacarandabooksartmusic #authors #readers #loveyou #writers #empoweringwomen #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #notoabuse #genderbasedviolence #stilliwrite #onlinebookfestival #creatives #publishers
A shout out to all the reviews I’ve been receiving from reviewers & my Reader Appreciation Tribe - one reader asked me how I deal with negative reviews & feedbacks & I told her that I WIN or I LEARN. I take nothing personal. A review is a person’s opinion, everyone has an opinion. I strife to enhance, develop & improve my life & lit skills. Writing is my super power. I stay focused, I listen to the whispers of wisdom & knowledge & welcome love & healing warm energy into my life. Happy, lazy Sunday - hope you enjoy. #author #bookreviews #reviewers #booklovers #romance #romancereadersofinstagram #loveagain #romancenovels #authorrashedaashantimalcolm #sundayvibes #writingismysuperpower #healing #warmenergy #passionforlove
Look at her! I try & encourage the next generation in my dynasty to enjoy reading & writing among all the other interests children pick up in 21st Century UK - but this here three-year-old diva grandchild of mine, Yara, we call her Yaya-Boom, never fails to amaze me with her dynamic characters she puts on at will. She reads when she wants, writes when she wants, but what she’s really good at - is being a natural leader, & not a follower. #bossbaby #bossgirl #childrenarethefuture #girlsquad #superstar #proudgrandma #forevergrateful

And the love keeps pouring in. My door bell rang & a bunch of flowers is delivered & placed in my arms, courtesy of my four sons. “Congratulations on your second book, your fabulous online book launch & your new dream job at Aqua BluGames - head of the writing department, overseeing scripts for books, games & movies.’ #ilovemysons #mamasboys #gratitude #gratitudeisamust #loveyou #love #booksbooksbooks #author #rashedaashantimalcolm #souljahkingdomrise #skr #aquablugames #aquabooks #aquamovies I give thanks for life🙏🏾
Since my online book launch, I’ve been snowed under with work, enjoyable work, but work all the same. So I took a break from writing for a few hours and looked at quotes that inspire me from different authors. So I’m sharing my inspiring quotes with you. #authorquotes #booklovers #readersofig #inspiringquotes #authors #writersofig #quotes #quotesofinstagram #twentyin2020
Look at that captivating smile. My fellow #Twentyin2020 author #stellaoni, not just a superb writer, by an avid reader - and so supportive of other writers - you know peeps, to write well you got to read wide.
