That's right! I've been hiding away finishing the final edits of A Thief & a Gentlewoman and this is your chance to hear a very rambly update from me just minutes after doing so! I somehow manage to coherently talk about what I've learnt through the experience. I also give a very practical tip for this episode to help you make more of your time so you can get on with writing.

What I’ve been up to not only for the past two weeks, but for the first half of this year in a mid-year round up and reflection episode. Tips this episode are my big lessons learned from those experiences in the first six months of 2018, including dealing with fear, making the writing process run more smoothly, and The One Thing.

What I’ve been up to for the past two weeks, including some challenging times dealing with anxiety and current affairs. Also a tip for making the most of your time and being productive even when you don’t feel like it.
