Where Does Time Go??

 I came back to blogging with the intention of writing at least one post a week. So far... that hasn't panned out and it's the 19th of Feb already. It feels like I just took my Christmas tree down a week ago - that's how fast the time is flying! 

However, in my defence, I have been super busy with my writers' community! We re-opened our doors at the end of January, and it's been non-stop ever since. I've been a little swept up in how amazing the members are doing since joining. Some were with us at the very beginning last year, and some are brand new.



In that whole time, we've had authors jumping out of their comfort zone to join our live sprinting sessions and proving how many words they can get down if they stay focused. We've had people thriving after things they've learned in our masterclasses. Particularly popular was our Newsletter Success class which seemed to get everyone excited about newsletters again! But the thing I love the most is that authors who joined feeling low and undermotivated have got their mojo back after being inside such a warm, supportive community. It's just the most joyful thing to see writers lifting each other up! 

In terms of writing, I have finally managed to get my own mojo back and I'm beginning to work hard on a single dad romance that has been a part of my life since I was fourteen. It never used to be a single dad romance. However, over the years, I stole aspects from the original story thinking it would never get published, so I've had to do a complete overhaul on it. I actually like the new version better. It's coming out with a humour I wasn't aware I possessed, but I'm having fun with writing again and that makes me happy!

  1. So glad to hear you're having fun! And, I've done that before - stolen parts of other stories, although occasionally it's been unintentional and I've regretted it.

    1. Yeah, I have done it with other stories and wished I hadn't! But this one... it's much better now. Or it will be when I finish with it lol!

  2. Sometimes a complete overhaul works wonders.
    That's great you are inspiring so many writers write now.

    1. Yeah, it has amazed me for sure!

      And thank you! Although, I think at this point, the authors are doing it more because of each other than me lol x

  3. Hi, Kyra! I'm visiting from the Insecure Writer's Support Group today. The title of your post is something I marvel at every day. The older I get, the faster time goes. Your writers' community sounds awesome. I hope it's continuing to flourish, and I hope you have managed to find some time to write!

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
