On my desk I keep all the proof copies of each novel I’ve published. There’s 8 at the moment but by the end of this year a 9th will join these. Seeing my growing row of proofs reminds me what I’m working towards on the days when I struggle. Keep writing. #writingcommunity #indieauthor #romanceauthor

Managed over 800 words this morning before work. The final chapter is almost done! Then it’s just the epilogue. I’m so ready to finish the first draft of this one so I can take a break from it before diving into edits. #writingcommunity #indieauthor

My publishing journey started 5 years ago. But the first book I published took several years of starts and stops before I had a finished full draft. If you want to write a book, just start. Then keep writing. Don’t give up until it’s done. #writingcommunity #romancebooks #indieauthor #writingadvice
