Writer update for January! I’ve been doing the @cbcreative.bsky.social bootcamp.
Goal: to expand scenes for my first draft of book 4 and work on characterisation/distinct voices for all 5 first-person narrators.

Signed up for the 30 day boot camp with Anna Davis at @cbcreative.bsky.social in Jan - a gentle kick to get the year started right for @hazelcauthor.bsky.social & myself 😌

What kind of details? Sometimes I find audio books even more immersive than a paperback.

Instead of a nice festive advent calendar…. I’m doing the opposite counting down by not eating chocolate one day at a time before Xmas…. Leave it to me to find punishment lol
😂 this is hilarious. I once launched a magazine at sixth-form and was the Editor-In-Chief 🫠 - I’m adding this to my agent submission packages henceforth.
A #Coffee a day, keeps the mundane away.
