The One Where I Tried to do EVERYTHING (again)

Lifting the veil on my writing life.

Friends, it has been quite a month.

Firstly, thank you if you bought any of my books recently. I had planned to do more fun promo stuff for my books birthdays, but I couldn’t execute it all.

Frankly, I’d underestimated the work involved. And I’d overestimated my capacity for said work while my kids were on a school break and we had some jobs done in the house. Throw in a dose of tonsillitis from my youngest (which meant she was off nearly all this week as well as the two weeks of school holiday) and a cat that’s damaged his ear and also needs antibiotics.

It all just got a bit much so I’ll save those other things for a later date.

In the flurry of this month, it has also been my one-year anniversary here on Substack (the platform through which I send these letters).

Substack has changed a lot in the last twelve months. I don’t have the energy to share my thoughts about my time here, but I will do in a future post.

That’s all for this week. I’m off for a nap. 😴
