October News
01st October 2020
Hey there!
Well, September was busy.
The Coaching Group began beautifully which turned up several pieces of fiction and a blog for which to provide feedback. I also reviewed several non-fiction books which will show up on the business's face book page during October and November, and I've been editing my own fiction and non-fiction too. Add to that, I've written more content for my podcast and I made some big decisions regarding the use of my time.
You may have seen that I've stopped presenting radio after 9 years, so at least for the present time, there will be no more Writer's Block. While it was a difficult decision, it was also a decision I'd been considering for a while. Instead, I've focussed more on The Versatile Writer podcast which is now in its second year and covers many of the topics I spoke about on the radio show.
The fiction I've been editing was a novella I originally wrote back in 2005. After several years of it being a work in progress, and editing it over and over, last year I ripped through it completely then gave myself time away from it. Detaching myself completely from a story helps me revisit with fresher eyes. So, now in its 8th edit, I feel it is complete and has now been sent to one of my beta readers. The non-fiction was a rewrite of a book I self published in 2013. It, too, is now with a beta reader.
So, I think you'll agree I've been using my time wisely.
I'll post monthly blogs to keep you in the loop, so if that floats your boat, why not like and share this with your other creative-writing minded friends?
See you next month,
