A3 When I've a new book out, I put a lot of pressure on myself to try and get my work noticed. The pressure can be counterproductive as I can't measure whether any of those posts make a difference to the reach of my work. I understand your sense of overwhelm. #womenwritersnet

A3 I often find typos after I've posted something and know I need to proofread more carefully. But when I'm going for spontaneity that's the price. #womenwritersnet.

Immersion in a novel can be a good thing! I'd willingly shut out the external if I could become fully engrossed in my current wip #womenwritersnet
