2021
A rose
2020 was a challenging year- no doubt about it. I spent it writing twelve privately printed poetry books and three companion books just for fun, creating four children's books and five romances (see below), dealing with 269 assessment/editing jobs, walking 4,337.97 km and dealing with life as it happens.
Affa's site this year has offered specials and a contest, open to all writers.
There will be more specials and another contest this year...
One more thing I will be continuing into 2021 is my regular visits to an independent book shop (I go to Devonport Bookshop because it's the nearest) where I purchase one or two Australian children's books which I donate back to the shop as "counter books". These are wrapped and the shop owners and assistants hand them to customers who come in with children. This little enterprise works as a win/win/win/win for everyone concerned. The shop gets sales. The parents get children who anticipate going to the shop (in case it MIGHT be counter book day), an author and publisher gets a sale and the child gets a book. Maybe you, as a fellow writer, might join me in promoting local books. Where ever you come from in the world, you may be able to find a shop selling local books.
Happy New Year!

Things I wanted to write but didn't get finished, include the four Tamzin books (three written, and one planned), another children's book, another in the Garlands of Thorn and May series, another in the Red Cat, Pixie Grip, Cat Mahal and Elydian Dawn series... well, there are only so many hours in the day, right? Maybe this year.
