This year seems to have gone both quickly and slowly. Somehow, the whole family has managed to stay Covid-free (I ought to cross my fingers but it’s quite hard to type at the same time). The kids are back in school, I’m back tutoring (in just one school this time), but my husband is stillContinue reading “Here we are again: new year goals…”

It’s that time again: new year goals…
Well, 2020 has been interesting, to say the least. What’s that saying about ‘may you live in interesting times’? I reread last year’s ‘life goals’ post, and either I was unusually prescient, or I may be partly responsible for the mess that has been 2020. If so, I apologise. That said, I’m conscious that I’mContinue reading “It’s that time again: new year goals…”
On finding a new writing routine when your old one collapses
It’s been an interesting few weeks, hasn’t it? We’re all coping with something which, frankly, I could never have imagined. First of all, I’m not complaining. So far, my family’s doing OK. The grown-ups are still working, the kids have been studying (as far as I can tell!). Most importantly, we’re all well. Of courseContinue reading “On finding a new writing routine when your old one collapses”
New year, same goals…
At least I’m getting in with the new year’s goals post quicker than I did last year! I won’t get into whether it’s a new decade or not because people will start squabbling, so let’s move along. Here’s a recap of last year’s goals: Work smarter, not harder Try some new things Get fitter 2019Continue reading “New year, same goals…”
It’s my 3-year self-publiversary today! 12 reflections…
I noticed about halfway through this morning, in the midst of running errands and nothing much to do with writing, that today is my 3-year self-publiversary. My first self-pubbed book launched on 1 April 2016 (I picked that date for a reason, honest!), and hey, here I still am. I published a post for myContinue reading “It’s my 3-year self-publiversary today! 12 reflections…”
Yes, it’s that new year post…
I bet you’ve read loads of these New Year posts already in 2019, but this is probably as much for me as it is for you, so here goes! You’ll notice that this post is a bit later than the majority of goal-setting posts. That’s partly because I’ve been surrounded by family until today. It’sContinue reading “Yes, it’s that new year post…”
Happy self-publiversary to me!
I only noticed this about half an hour ago (it’s latish afternoon here in the UK), but today is my 30-month or 2.5-year self-publiversary! Yes, two and a half years ago I unleashed The Secret Notebook of Sherlock Holmes on an unsuspecting world, and then, well, I just kept going. 30 months feels like a long timeContinue reading “Happy self-publiversary to me!”
2018 here I come!
It’s January 1. It’s raining. Therefore it must be time for the New Year’s Resolutions / life goals for 2018 post! Last year’s goals: Market new and existing books and stories to maximise their return Walk/run 1000 miles Aim for work-life balance and spare capacity How did I do? Let’s say it was a year ofContinue reading “2018 here I come!”
Two years ago
Yesterday Facebook pinged one of those ‘On This Day’ notifications. Now usually these follow a fairly standard pattern where in past years I have updated my status with the news that: one of the kids said something daft I ran somewhere I ate either cheese, cake, chocolate or biscuits the cat is sitting on meContinue reading “Two years ago”
Linking In
Today I took what feels like a big step. I updated my LinkedIn profile. Well, rewrote it, really. This involved putting an end date on my public sector job (yes, I know I left last week, but it still feels odd), and rewriting my profile as someone who specialises in writing, editing and generally being creative. That feelsContinue reading “Linking In”
