If I purchased every book I retweeted, I'd have to live to 200+ to read them all. Happy to share, because someone else might just be looking for that kind of book.

Itโs my balloons day. 60 of the blighters to be precise ๐ฉ Started day with overflowing shower & lost sunglasses (found them). Small party tonight. If you feel like buying one of my ๐ that would make it all less painful ๐๐พ๐พ๐๐
So close to throwing in the towel. Books donโt sell, canโt wrap my head around advertising & every day another snake oil salesman slithers into my inbox with promises of magic. There is no magic, just a feeling of drowning ๐ข

Totally gutted. Another publisher rejection. Full of praise, but I feel like I've been kicked in the teeth. Don't even want to write another word.

Just watched the David Cassidy documentary and feel incredibly sad. Seemed like a lovely man who fought so many demons. Even if you think he was just some teeny bopper idol with The Partridge Family, it's a moving 90 minutes.
My day so far. Did the laundry, wrote about 200 words, went to the dental hygienist for a fun-filled hour and โฆ got another publisher rejection. Ah, well. At least my knickers and teeth are white ๐ฌ

Love Liverpool (my son lives there). As an exiled Scot I've only ever encountered kindness pretty much everywhere in England (London & Leeds to name but two). And Edinburgh is brilliant too. All it takes is a smile and a willingness to chat.

I know when I publish a book that some people will like it. I also know that others won't. We all have a choice, a preference, things that make us individuals. But I also know it will be *my* book. And I will be proud

I had limited success with them. Sometimes they worked, but once โ during a St Andrew's ceilidh โ one escaped & I had to *discreetly* slip it into my handbag. Although, the guffaws of laughter suggested I wasn't so discreet (& a tad lop-sided) ๐
