Am trying to write something a bit different, which is a challenge for me but a nice one! One piece of advice on the course I'm doing is to write it by hand.
I just tried.

Has anyone sold something at auction to raise a little extra cash in recent years? Doesn't have to be an enormous profit or an amazing sum of money or anything like that. It's for a piece I'm writing #journorequest UK based.

Like all authors I've had my share of criticism and 1* reviews. But that makes the thoughtful, wonderful reviews all the more special.

I don't always write at the weekends.
But this morning I realised I was furious, anxious, annoyed, exhausted, tearful for no apparent reason (except, ungrateful kids, lack of sleep, relentless chores that is).
So I decided rather than smash up the kitchen, I'd write.

There's this moment in the day when I take a break from my work, my husband goes out to collect our five kids from school. And I am alone.
It's 20 minutes every day max. I never really do anything special. And I love it when my kids walk in the door.
But in that tiny 20 minute window I just breathe

There's a weird kind of excitement once a book reaches 65,000 words and you see the end in sight. You know this is just the start of things - that edits will definitely be needed. But also YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH THIS!!
