The wonderful Rosie Amber wrote a super post on this last week, which you can find HERE, and I thought I would do something similar. So, what has been getting me through this latest lockdown through the longest winter there has ever been. Obviously, these are in no particular order… Oliver! Thursday is now the […]
When I started writing I made the decision to review every book I finished, and I’ve stuck to that thinking I could hardly expect readers to review my books if I wasn’t willing to put the same effort into those I read. I spotted a superb 1-star review for The Joker the other day, I […]
I think writing wisdom states that you should write every day. I see and hear this advice given everywhere. It makes sense. It builds and keeps you in the writing habit and, particularly if you have a large project on, such as a novel, it keeps you chipping away at the word count. I have […]
I listened to episode 175 of the Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing podcast the other day. Mark Lefebvre’s guest was Philippa A Werner and they discussed her writing and ScribeCount, a sales analysis platform for authors. Whilst listening I signed up to this platform which was straightforward then seamlessly set up my account which […]
As I mentioned in a recent post I haven’t been listening to music at all recently (by which I mean for the last few of years) because of all the podcasts I subscribed too and now have to try and keep up with. However, my other half had a play list going at the […]
During December I roughly mapped out my writing plans on a wall planner. Realistically I probably haven’t left nearly enough time for some of the things I’ve put on there, but at least I’ve got something down. I allocated the first week of January to rereading a manuscript I’d abandoned sometime during 2020 with the […]
I don’t watch much television, maybe an hour a day, late at night when I finally finish at my desk and want to wind down before bed. I also try to watch a film at a weekend. Not always successfully. Generally, we record many different series and end up watching them months and months, […]
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it here before but I’m a big listener of podcasts. Although I only do this at my desk. I don’t have a commute so I don’t have that time in which to listen and I did download an app on my phone with the intention of listening when walking the dog […]
I’ve already put off the whole starting the New Year stuff until the 4th. That’s what happens when the 1st lands on a Friday. It felt better to get going once everyone was fully back to work. So here we are, on the 4th, and I’m already behind. There’s not much to say on several […]
I don’t actually make resolutions as such, they’re more aims, I suppose, or goals. And they are remarkable similar to the ones made in previous years. Let’s see how I got on. My list of aims for the year were as follows: Reach and maintain target weight Exercise twice a week Write a book Write […]
