Finding My Groove

You may have noticed that I broke my blog schedule by not posting on Friday - BUT it was for a very good reason.

I was writing!!

Yes, actually writing. Not just sitting down with the intention to write, then faffing around on Facebook. I wrote words!

This is a really good thing, and not just for the obvious reasons. I have had the hardest time trying to get back into writing Game On 3, so the breakthrough on Friday means I can go back at it today knowing it's not going to take me hours to settle into it. In fact, I am all ready to rock, and since my workload this week is so far non-existent, I'm hoping to crack on with it and MAYBE get it finished by the end of the week!

I know this post is short and to the point, but I can't wait to get back to it! Before I go - here's a small snippet of Bree's story!





After hanging out with the girls, I’d intended to spend a little time with Leah after Freya had gone back to work, but instead I made up a stupid excuse that I had to get home. She must have seen through it. What was I rushing back to? Jude was at work, and I didn’t have so much as a pet hamster to take care of. Even if I did have a pet hamster, it would probably have been taken care of by our housekeeper, just like everything else. I’d told Jude over and over we didn’t need to employ outside help. Or we could at least give her a couple days off. I probably couldn’t take care of our entire five bedroom, four bathroom, plus a million other rooms - including a panic room, a freaking panic room! - house alone. But I could help. Jude wouldn’t hear of it, though. He was cool with me cooking, but aside from a few small jobs, he insisted I let someone else do the work.
I should have been used to it. I’d been with him since I was eighteen, and lived with him since I was seventeen. He’d always treated me like a princess, and I loved him for it. I’d needed someone like him in my life, someone who cared about me unconditionally. When I first moved in with him, we didn’t start dating right away. In fact, he was real careful to keep his distance. I knew why. He didn’t want to be like the other guys in my life who used me and threw me away. Instead, he moved me into his biggest guest room and allowed me to wander around his house, not even slightly worried I’d steal all his shit while he was at work. Not that I ever would have, but I liked that he knew that about me.

  4. So glad you're writing. Skipping a blog post because you're actually writing and not playing around on Facebook is always a good reason.

    Looking forward to reading the whole book!

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

With Tilly having a meltdown over the move, Madison and Dominic get into a fight that changes the entire nature of their relationship, causing Madison to ask herself a big question. Can she let him go? EEK! SO, whaddya think? :D Annnnd there's more! As I'm not doing a blog tour for this release, I still felt like I needed to

Dust It Off Bloghop!

Welcome to day one of the Dust It Off Bloghop, hosted by Theresa Paolo and Cortney Pearson ! This hop is all about the WIPs you wrote, and then shelved! Okay, so I am teaming up with Clare Dugmore for this one, because back in 2006 - yup, we've known each other THAT long lol! - we started to write a book together. Unfortunately, other commitments got in the way and we never finished it - but even so many years on - it's still something we remember fondly, so we're going to dust it off for you! The first day, May 3rd: We want you to post a 1-2 sentence pitch (Great way to practice pitches) about the shelved WIP. Here is the pitch Clare and I came up with: For best friends Caitlin and Tori, their first acting job out of Uni opens up a whole new world for them – unfortunately, it wasn’t the world they were expecting. When the strains of adult life and tangled relationships threaten to ruin their friendship, they are forced to take a look at what’s really importan
