Autumn is almost here, my most productive time of the year. I'm back to writing fiction albeit in a fairly fragmented way. After listening to Atomic Habits by James Clear, I've decided to develop a routine and writing is going to be a part of this. To motivate myself, I'm working on smaller pieces - a poem for a competition and a series of short Instagram-based stories. My main project however, is to rewrite an SFF novel that I finished a few years ago. I've had plenty of time to think about this and am refining my ideas by tuning into The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr.
I plan to submit to agents within 9 months - no point faffing around any longer. I've tried the longer paths so many times and to be honest, it's not worth waiting for that perfect moment.
Ideally, I will also continue to write at least two blog posts each month for my bookish account. I'm really happy with my latest publication - Literary England: 42 Essential Book Destinations to Visit. It took a few months to put together and I hope that people will find it useful.
