Introduction:

Hey friends! Can you believe January is already behind us? Time flies, and I’ve been keeping busy with my writing and enjoying the little things, like tending to my garden. Let me catch you up on my month!

Progress:

The highlight of my January has undoubtedly been the completion of my latest literary venture, “Ghost Hell,” which is the fifth instalment in the Shades of Meaning series. As a writer, reaching the finish line of a book is always a momentous occasion, and this one was no exception. The characters, the plot twists, and the emotional rollercoaster are now in the capable hands of my proofreaders, who will help refine the story before it makes its way to you, the reader.

Highlights:

One of the joys of this month was not only the completion of Ghost Hell but also the beginning stages of planning for the sixth book in the series. Being a self-proclaimed “plantser” – a hybrid of a planner and a pantser – I relish in the satisfaction of having a solid outline to guide the narrative, allowing the story to flourish within its predetermined framework. The excitement of laying the foundation for a new adventure is invigorating. Ideas are brewing, characters are evolving, and the prospect of diving into the next chapter of this literary journey is nothing short of thrilling.

As I’ve been engrossed in my writing endeavours, I’ve taken breaks to marvel at the resilience of spring bulbs pushing through the soil, heralding the promise of a vibrant and colourful season ahead. Nature’s cycles never fail to inspire, and witnessing the gradual transformation in my garden has been a source of comfort and inspiration.

What’s Next:

Looking forward, I’m excited to see Ghost Hell take its final shape and eager to dive into the next writing adventure. As the bulbs in my garden grow, so does the anticipation for what the next month will bring – both in my stories and in the beauty of nature.

Here’s to a month filled with creativity, joy, and the simple pleasures that make life sweet. Until next time, happy reading and happy growing!
