Howdy folks.

Dropping by from my extended social media absence (hopefully ending soon ish 😅) to say thanks for the birthday messages! Every single one means a lot.

And here's the obligatory birthday sales pitch: feel free to pick up one of my books as a treat for both you and me (🔗 👇)

I said I'd take at least a few weeks off between finishing book 2's first draft of my WIP series, but here I am, already starting book 3. I will never learn 😂

Finished my WIP after 6 months, so treating myself to a celebratory drink.

I know I've been quiet this year. Lots going on. I'll be back with an update soon. Hope you're all doing well!

Howdy. Once again, I've been absent from social media. Lots going on, but nothing exciting I'm afraid.

It's still a goal to be more active, but I've been focused on my WIP series.

Hope you're all good and staying out of trouble (or revelling in the trouble you're causing). Be back soon!

I forgot to share this earlier 😅 I was too busy working on my next WIP to meet my weekly target (which I achieved, btw 😉).

Anyway. Plotting Vs pantsing. Yes, another take on it but based on what I've found from my experience rather than another list.

Enjoy!

Plotting Vs Pantsing: Which Is Better? - Dave McCreery
The plotting vs pantsing debate rages on. I'm here to give you the rundown on which is better for your book rather than a long-winded list of pros and cons.

PANCAKES! 🥞

I did make them before D&D, but forgot to share them with you all until now. Just know that they were delicious 🤤

It's pancake day! 🥞

Do I have time to forge myself before D&D? Absolutely.

What do you like on your pancakes? 🤤

Sorry for the radio silence the last few days, folks. I've been a bit unwell but back on my feet and will get my new blog up tomorrow 😊

I know I reposted this earlier in the day, but I just now finished reading the whole article. What a great piece of writing this is! I think there’s a lot of good things to think about for indie authors in it, and even though it’s long, it’s well worth the time to read.

I wrote a rather humbling list of the mistakes I've made self-publishing my first books. It turned out I'd made more than I'd realised as it's pretty long, but feel free to have a laugh at my stupidity (or naivety, whichever you prefer) and see if you can relate!

This is sound advice, and if you're new to this game, you should read this.

Hell, it made *me* think about a few things a little differently, and I've been doing this for a while.

If you missed this last night, I reckon it's worth a read (of course I'd say that, I wrote it). You might find it useful 🙂

After a train ride opposite two 21 year old lasses, I feel older than ever.

I was never like that, surely.

Maybe it's the weight I've put on over the last year. Maybe it's the language. Maybe I'm just tired, but...damn, I'm old.

Sent out my first newsletter of the year and someone instantly unsubscribed 😂

Damn 😂

Putting together a list of the mistakes I made when self-publishing my first books and it's already 4k words long 😅

I made a lot of mistakes 😂
