Well, here we are, another year older. Hopefully I’ve left enough time for all the ‘new year, new start’ posts to have subsided! That’s not to say there’s anything wrong about being positive, it’s just that sometimes I think it’s important to share when we haven’t had the bustling year of writing and self-publishing that we’d hoped for and talk about some realistic goals for the year ahead.
That’s why I wanted to get a bit more real in this post. I began 2025 with the best of writing intentions but as it does for so many of us, work and life got in the way. There was lots going on for me last year, lots of it positive, but some challenging too. As a result, my writing took a back seat. When I did write though, I was building what I hope will be the compelling, um, world for Whisper World, the final book in the Whisper trilogy.
For those days when I made myself some time to put finger to key, I was there with Eddie Bleakledge trying to make sense of it all and this year, I’m going to get right back there with him! Does that mean I’ll have Whisper World out this year? Hopefully! It’s certainly a goal to aim for.
Sometimes, it’s important to share that we are not all goal-driven success machines with multiple projects on the go.
Sometimes, life gets in the way, which means sometimes, we’ve got to find our way to do things.
