The life of a not-so-famous author can get a little busy, especially while holding down a day job.
Sick of hearing how busy everyone is? Yeah, me too. I’ll correct that to active.
Actively I’ve:
Finished the final edits of Hidden Book of Scars.
Begun submitting to agents and publishers.
Put myself out there by submitting to Books with Hooks (more on that soon).
Reworked plot, storyline and characters in WIP (work in progress).
Practiced yoga five times a week.
Beach walks.
Gardening.
Five days a week office managing.
Five days a week writing when I get home.
A three-day break for a writing retreat with a fellow writer (more on that soon).
Random encounters with other writers.
Planning for a face-to-face local women’s writers' group.
Planning the next story.
Designs and social media (needs to be more regular).
Helped Martin Knox publish his latest book, Brisbane River Anti-Memoir.
Read books: David Baldacci's Simply Lies, Lee Child’s Die Trying, and Colleen Hoover’s Verity (you can see I’m mainly reading thrillers at the moment because that is what I am writing).
Watched Home & Away (I’ve hardly missed an episode in 30 years).
Kept a lifestyle journal (thanks to my son, Joel).
Caught up with the grandkids.
Went deep-sea fishing and saw whales (thanks Swimart Noosa).
Phew! I think that’s it for the last month.
