For the past few weeks I have been working on a new WIP, a horror rom com. Think what if a Christmas rom com went horribly wrong!
It hasn't been working. I have written and re-written the same chapters from different perspectives, tenses, directions.
I even shook it upside down for a bit.

If I could appear like Marley's Ghost to writers & give one piece of advice, it'd be: don't forget why you're doing this. Using recognition or sales or agent interest or even daily word count to gauge how you're doing is fatal if your actual dream was 'I want to lose myself in creating stories'.

Remember, Remember the 5th of November - one of the happiest days of my life.
Nine years ago today I married my best friend.
Every day, through his love and support I am reminded just how lucky I am. I will be forever grateful for him.
