25/1/2023 0 Comments January updateWell! A busy start to 2023 in my writing world. Had a couple weeks off from the job that pays my bills and I finally settled on an editor to have a look at my novella through Fivver. Seems like a nice guy with some experience and I should get my manuscript back on 31st January with a release date, hopefully not too long after that. My biggest issue at the moment is trying to decide on a title for the book. I really got stuck into some competition writing. First up, I just submitted my entry to the GenreCon 2023 short story competition. It's an event that is run by the Queensland Writers Centre and free to enter for members, so I thought I'd give it a crack. The theme was 'Forbidden Doors' and automatically my mind went all sci fi/fantasy, but I gave it a little more thought and came up with something else. I loved it! The wife and eldest.... not so much (as the message below shows). After some tidying and editing, she came around and was a fan of the story in the end. They announce the winner in the middle of February, so fingers crossed, but it's the year of putting my work out there, so whatever the rest I'll learn from.

I wouldn't be the supreme procrastinator if I didn't post this blog 4 days into the new year. Although the delay wasn't because of laziness, but because I wanted to make sure that I set myself some clear goals for 2023 that I'd like to keep if possible. Have a read below for my 2023 goals. |
