No, same. Too much real life to have a virtual one, as well. Hoping for more of a balance next year!

Very happy to see both of you over here, as it were. :)

I know it's hard not to stress or fret about reviewing but it sounds as if you need a break, or to stop trying to force it. You'll need all your energy to deal with the mad & overwhelming. Do that and make notes or a draft when you can. Review by stealth is my approach at times like this. Take care.

Ah, I love that. It's so good to hear that someone else is grey-friendly. Their paws fascinate me with those Dali-esque claws.

Sorry to hear that, Ali. I hope things improve soon. Don't beat yourself up about the blog posts and reviews. You'll get back to them when you can. Watching squirrels is always a good way to spend your time. We have greys here. Which do you have where you are?

I know what you mean. I can feel the same way. 😂

No, exactly that. Especially when you can lose it again so quickly - and I feel for people with much bigger followings than mine. They've invested so much time & effort to get there. And it's knowing where to jump and whether it'll gain momentum and critical mass.

Aw, Jan, you're so good to keep doing them each year. So few people bother anymore.

I left it too late last year with the strikes and everything, and my need to include letters with some of them, that I failed to send any. I'll be starting earlier this year though!

Thanks, Vicki. I'm okay for now. I gave my first one to Gareth instead of Squizz and haven't heard the end of it! But when I logged in today, I discovered I had another, so he can have that one.

Other friends are hesitating because they don't have the energy to start over on a new social network.

Oh, ouch. No, that wouldn't help at all. That must be both painful and frustrating to deal with as a writer.

You're absolutely right, though. Writing freehand is a habit and one I need to practise more often. I am starting a Letter Writing boot camp for myself and the squirrel!

Yes, let's get on that. I don't see posts from SueR very often - is she posting more on FB these days? And I miss seeing SueW? Is she more involved with the other #SBC?

Thanks, Vicki. And I was very happy to see you enjoying bluer skies. Are we the only sbc'ers so far?

Happy publication day, Becca! Hope this flies off the shelves. 🥳🎉🎉🎉🥂🍾

I don't think the first one will let you down, either. Hope you enjoy when you get to it. I am off to track this little one down.

Loved the first book in this series, so I'm happy to know another one's out hot on its heels, Linda.

I'm hoping we can win against Aus but they have been a bit of a bogey side for Wales. We will need ALL the singing to help the boys over the line.
