I like tidying my office space to prepare for a new project. The writing sprints, even when I’m dead tired, help so much with them timed to the first of the month. This year, I impulsively signed up for a workshop hosted by Plottr (who are getting into writer education more and more) and found their events kickstarted my fiction writing brain. I just attended their mystery writing workshop — I had an idea for a mystery novel a decade ago that’s been hanging out in the back of my mind — and learnt how to revise backwards. These all help me keep going. Plus if I don’t write for too long, I get cranky. Read a quote by Pearl S Buck in A Word A Day newsletter this morning about how writing is breathing. I relate!

Tidying is shaking things up too Shireen - whatever works! Hope the trilogy is coming along well. Thanks for your comment :)

I have a long time manuscript reader reading my final version of novel one, and early feedback is she’s enjoying it and finds it fascinating. 🙌 I’m titling it The Soul’s Awakening, and she likes the title, too. Thank you, Chris!
