A Return To Blogging

*taps mic*

Hello! So, I haven't been here in forever - and... well, I don't imagine there is anyone left still following me since my average post has been once a year over the last few years! However, I have been somewhat drifting lately in regards to writing. I have released a LOT of books since I was a regular blogger, but things have slowed down hugely. There are a few reasons for this - the biggest being that I had to work harder to earn enough money to live on - a problem most of us face - and it left me with less time to write. I also cannot discount the fact that I am the queen of procrastination. It's certainly played a part lol.

So, I recently spent some time thinking about what's different in my life now. What got in the way of my focus. The biggest thing I used to do regularly was blog. And the reason that was so helpful to me was because of YOU - if there are any of you left and still reading this lol. The community and regularly updating what I'd been doing kept me focused. Kept me on track. And I really need that in my life right now. I need to reconnect with doing things that are for ME, and blogging and writing very much fall into that category.

I guess this is just a quick hello post, in the hopes that I can find my way back to where I want to be. And I will do my best to reconnect with as many of you as possible. It's about time!

    1. YAY! I'm so happy you're here!

      Yeah, I decided to freshen up a little - I'm not sure I'm totally crazy about it yet but I needed something different to look at! :D

  2. I'm here, too! Probably because I also procrastinate and so I hardly ever unfollow blogs. Glad you're back!

  3. I found the 8 minute Writing Habit really useful for establishing new habits. I had to go back to work full time over a year ago, and it really helped me create a new schedule for writing.

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

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
