December Blog
01st December 2021
Welcome to For The Love of Books’ website blog for December.
Through this blog, this year I’ve shared with you links to events, decisions surrounding my podcast, character interviews, a different approach to writing a novel, a decade in business, and I became increasingly aware of my own mortality. This part took the shape of motivating me to get my older works in progress completed.
Since June, I’ve been focussing on rewriting a novel I originally wrote around 2010. It’s now finished and before the Christmas break I’ll be contacting my group of beta readers to begin their read in January 2022. I expect to get the novel in front of readers next year.
But I’ve not only been rewriting, there’s lots of other exciting things happening too. My podcast, The Versatile Writer, has taken on a different format and Season 5 will commence in January. Before that on Christmas Eve there will be a special episode, a casual chat between me and a very special guest. I hope you tune in to listen to the hour-long episode.
Also, this year I self-narrated the sequel of the novel I narrated back in the first UK lockdown, so do subscribe if you’re into free audio entertainment 😊. You can download it from iTunes, Spotify, and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
New for 2022 is a month-long coaching course starting in January, so get in quickly. I’ll be focussing on your 1000 word submissions every week for a month, offering you friendly, professional, and constructive feedback, plus inviting you to a group Zoom chat at the end of each week to discuss it. There are several other add-ons to this course, as well as a separate advent offer too. All details are on www.loveofbooks.co.uk . If coaching is not your thing but courses are, please nip over to the ‘courses/events’ tab on the site as there’s half a dozen there now that might appeal to you.
Finally, I’ve enjoyed sharing my business life with you in 2021 and will continue to do so in 2022. If you’d like to be kept in the loop with it all, plus receive exclusive offers, why not subscribe to my newsletter? Just email me and I’ll set it up.
I wish you a peaceful festive period and a productive New Year.
