A pretty good review but it did make me chuckle when he said I use the King’s English. And now I can’t get it out of my head that everyone talks like they’re from Downton Abbey 😂

This is the good stuff I need to make sure I have the energy to do my edits.

Walks on the seafront clear my head and wake me up.

Excuse the hair. It was a tad breezy! 😅

Tell me I'm not the only one who goes to click 'File' when 'Home' is what I need. 😅

I still have muscle memory from a previous version of Word that never had this extra tab.

The 'Home tab' version of Word has been in my life for many years now. Yet, I still go to click 'File'.

Derp. 😜

(Btw, I know shortcuts exist. I use many. Just not this one, for some reason... 🤷‍♀️)

Time to share an of my newest story "The Cry of the Raijuu". I loved being able to bring in some more gods during it, and such fun are Raijin and Fuujin, gods of thunder and wind.

I've been so busy lately trying not to burn out on one story but also get it done on time. But I conquered the mountain and my story ended up at 7.4k words and it's up for my early access readers on Patreon and Ream.
Now to do it all again, but hopefully without the pain 😄

I also have a link to over 100 free sci-fi and fantasy books for those curious: books.bookfunnel.com/sci-fi-fa

I've been working hard on my editing and my next story "The Cry of the Raijuu" is nearly complete! It will be going up on Patreon and Ream very shortly.

In the meantime I have been making some graphics and I'd like to share this one of my ebook. Maybe this will tempt any who aren't sure? 😄

A favour?

If we imagine each of the services below is identical, which option most draws you?

Feel free to expand with any reasoning in your replies, e.g. whether you find any off-putting, or whether you think one sounds most comprehensive.

I'm essentially asking about connotations, and the name you find the MOST APPEALING.

Thanks!

I hope that between pace egg races (look it up; it's a northern thing) you get a chance to rest and relax with a good book.

I'll be starting a fantasy this weekend. D Brittle's 'The Portal'.

How about you?

Confession time.

Contrary to a lot of editors:

😱 I'm just not that into stationery*.

As long as I've got a pen that works and something to write on, I'm happy.

😁 Dare to believe!

Hehehe.

How about you?

*Quick tip. 'E' for 'envelopes'. ✉️ That's how I remember that the pen and paper version of stationery needs an 'E' (not an 'A'). Stationery ✅ 🖋️ 📝

A few things to update on as I've been busy! I sent out a newsletter to those subscribed at the weekend, and those people were the first to download my new ebook.
Here is the link for you too: dl.bookfunnel.com/1ijz1v09a6

I have also started a Patreon and Ream account for people to subscribe and get my stories early before anyone else. Links to those are on my linktree :)

Sorry, George, but it's Hazel for the win.

Why does Word always default to George when I'm editing in US English? 🤷‍♀️

❓ Do you use Read Aloud? If so, who do you pick?

Sharing a bit of wisdom here from t'other half. 😁

Thoughts?

('Aspiring author', on the other hand, is a different thing. I reckon that one's legitimate until there's a book out there in the world. Indie published or trad published. I applaud any route.)

I've been a bit quiet on here. The reason? Just busy. Back-to-back edits. An excellent reason, I'm sure you'll agree. And I'm loving it.

But I have to build in downtime, which is what I did today.

Finished at 2pm. Met a friend. Had a milkshake.

Why not?

😋

It's time for another story, and this time I have posted my short story Survival to the many free sites you can find on my linktree.

Survival is a sequel to Beneath Tsukuyomi and follows Hotaka further as he begs for forgiveness and is swept away into the plans of angry kami. As ever, Hotaka scrabbles to survive through each ordeal he is put through.

I'm reading a book about what I already do for a living. And do you want to know why? Because @AmyJSchneider's 25+ years in the industry trump my 5 years. Reading her insights is a no-brainer. I'm thrilled this fiction-specific resource is available to those of us following in her footsteps. 😁

I could have picked a cooler song, but I didn't... 😎
