As Christmas Draws Nigh…

How’s the Editing Coming Along?

See

I’d hoped I might have my novel edited ready to query by now. In fact, real life has to happen and so it is not yet completed. As I am not yet under contract, it will be what it’ll be, take the time it will take.

What Other Writing Activities Am I Doing?

Let’s have a list – I do love a list especially when it is all ticked.

  1. Social Media – I left Twitter last month after the Big Buyout. I said I would if it happened, so it was easy to make my decision.
  2. I am building my Instagram gradually, adding more Stories and Posts, engaging with lots of interesting folk (and blocking the timewasters). My main focus is novel writing, authors, books, reviews, writing events, debut writers, as well as ordinary life.
  3. All my Instagram content is replicated on my Facebook.
  4. Re 2 & 3 above – my privacy settings are strict, and I keep an eye on who wishes to follow me. Please make your request and see what happens.

And So…

I have bought the Christmas presents, posted the cards, and wrapped all but a few gifts…because the rest of December and January will be my WIP priority zone.

Wishing you peace wherever you are, whether it is Christmas in your home or not.

May life treat you better in 2023. And if 2022 has been a very good year, may you enjoy spreading good news to those that need it.
