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.

It's here! WIP: The Movie!

I can't even tell you have excited I have been about this! It's early, so I have only got round to a few entries so far, but I am having a blast reading them all! Thanks to all who have participated, and of course, to my awesome co-host, Rachel ! It's time for me to introduce you to the characters from my - as yet untitled - WIP. When I first started this blog, my WIP was different, so this might confuse some of you (sorry about that!). This is Leah Walker, my MC. Technically, she is a little young, but she looks perfect! Leah is a physiotherapist for an American soccer team, but she is actually an English girl with a, let's say, colourful past. Radleigh McCoy is the ridiculously good-looking, not to mention exceptionally arrogant soccer player who challenges Leah in every way possible.  This is Freya Phillips. Freya is Leah's best friend and roommate. She works as a coach for the soccer team, and she is both very kind, and totally wild! Th...

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl...

Camp NaNo Update, and details

To begin with, I want to say thanks again to Emily for allowing me onto her blog as a blogging mentor! Being interviewed is always fun, and Emily is awesome! So, to Camp NaNo! Four days in and I'm still on track! Well, I will be when I finish today's writing. :D I mentioned a while ago that I was planning to battle boy POV, and I'm doing my best to get through it. However, it is hard, so I decided to turn my NaNo story into dual POV so it will be 50% less difficult! I'm not against cheating to get the work done. :p Just to give you a quick recap on what I'm doing for NaNo: In Game On, I have a young soccer player named Jesse Shaw, and he proved quite popular during the A-Z challenge. So, I decided he needed his own spin-off story! It's set at the end of the soccer season, when Jesse and his best friend go to London. I don't have a proper synopsis yet, but this is my guideline for now Soccer sensation Jesse Shaw literally has the world at his fee...
