(Apart from all the wonderful short story writing success you enjoy. : ) ) Unless you're crazy enough to embark on novel writing, I think it's hard to imagine the effort and dedication required - I was blissfully naive when I first told everyone I was writing a novel! Sending lots of positive vibes and good luck with your next draft. You're almost there!

A friend emailed me this week to say how much she'd enjoyed my serial in the People's Friend. She hadn't read the magazine since the days when she used to read it to her mum. She'd forgotten how much she liked it's 'olde worldy style'. hmm... thanks. I think!

I agree that it doesn't matter how often you go back to them because each revisit makes a difference and they have to take priority over everything else. I love writing blog posts, but they take me ages and the edits always win if I have to decide between the two. <br />Looking forward to more news of your novel and to your future posts - it doesn't matter at all if they become less frequent because they are always such a pleasure to read. xxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-7705530113774864112016-07-13T10:47:27.652+01:002016-07-13T10:47:27.652+01:00As writers we have to prioritise and sometimes som...As writers we have to prioritise and sometimes something has to give.
