Thanks for letting me know you found this useful, Jaye, and I hope you get a lot out of the podcast.

Thank you for posting it for me (and others like us!)

I read once (and wish I could find the quote so I knew who to attribute it to) that becoming famous will ruin your writing. I assume because you simply no longer have the time to put into it. So there’s that, but also I would just hate everything that goes along with ‘being known’. I find it enough of a faff to leave the house, let alone to do so looking half decent! Like you say, maybe it’s a British thing, but I’m with you on your aims 😀

I bought a book a while back on marketing (online) for “busy” authors and it began with a chapter about identifying your dreams, followed by a check-list of things that, as a writer, I might be striving for. But most of them were along the lines of: I appear on TV, I have my own TV show, I am on a reality TV show, I speak at conferences, travelling 50% of my time…. Wot? No way! My writing aim is simply to write good books (without being under pressure from someone else’s agenda) and build a loyal readership.
Perhaps it’s a British thing!
