- #UKteenchat Read widely is my no one recommendation. Not just what's in now, but the works that inspired contemporary writers. Go back in history, understand the context. If you can, read translated works as well. A whole world of different points of view awaits.
- #UKteenchat I'm in the process of writing another novel in the same series as BINDING THE CUCKOO. It's all stand-alones, but within the same social group, and with the same running theme of women hiding their true identity. The mythics liberation movement is also slowly gathering pace.
- #UKteenchat I love working in cafes, especially if a friend can join me. Makes the process less lonely, more collaborative. Especially with BINDING THE CUCKOO, I felt that a Gilded Age romance demanded a fancy cake and coffee to accompany its creation. All about the aesthetics 😂
- #UKteenchat I'm a complete pantser for the first 1/3 of the book. I usually begin with an image, or a poem. BINDING THE CUCKOO began with two letters: sycophantic, wheedling, somewhat manipulative. I giggled the whole way through writing them. The story tends to grow from there.
- #UKteenchat My YT channel, THE GABRIELA HOUSTON PROJECT, explores how storytelling is a crucial part of everyone's life and many professions, more than we usually give credence to. I interviewed many artists, researchers, journalists, even a cult expert. It's been such an enriching experience
- #UKteenchat It was always my favourite era: not just for the fabulous aesthetic of it, but for the sheer energy that permeated that time. The beginnings of women's suffrage movement, the stirrings of social conscience that finally began to address the plight of domestic workers, the science!
