Whiskey + novel writing = lots of mistakes!
Manuscript & Scotch... a bad combo for editing!
Leave the whiskey drinking until after you’ve finished writing for the day, especially when writing a novel longhand! It’s not as painful as sewing and drinking whiskey (which leads to lots of bloody, pinpricked fingers and stained clothing) but it’s painful enough to have to see spelling errors in a nice hand-written manuscript!
Don’t make my mistake… save it for the toast after a hard day of work!

About Leilanie Stewart
Leilanie Stewart is an author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has written four novels, including award-winning ghost horror, The Blue Man, as well as three poetry collections. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis of identity and create a new sense of being. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Magazine, a creative writing literary journal with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
