Well, it was a busy old month ((yeah coz like how many holidays did you have in February??)) only one to Tenerife, which was amazing and some much needed topping up of vitamin D was achieved as well as catching up on my TBR pile.
I was only back a few days and then I was away with some friends for the weekend, as another friend was in a panto in their village. I cannot tell you how funny it was, my face was aching from laughing ((I’m saying nothing)) we also drank too much and didn’t get home until 3am!! ((3am?!?! I didn’t know you had it in you Peachy)) me neither, but you know sometimes a weekend away with your mates is the best life medicine.
After this it was a trip to Cornwall for the business retreat ((Come on now, stop pretending it was a holiday!)) hey I will have you know I worked on many of my different author projects. One of the benefits of freelance work is working from anywhere. My friend and I did enjoy exploring Falmouth and some of the Cornish coast ((The real reason for the ‘holiday’)) and we were lucky to get some nice weather in between the showers.
Still nothing to report on the thriller submission. I am more focused on self-publishing now I know so much more about the industry but I will leave it until the end of March and then decide. It will probably mean creating a publishing company name and over time, re-publishing all my books but that is certainly a long term project.
I’m going to try and finish The Sixth Witch by the end of March so I can fully focus on the thriller series. ((Maybe stop going on holiday and then you might get something done)) actually when a creative person immerses themselves in a place without any distractions, this is when the real magic happens ((I really wish I was allowed to swear.))
I have news on the cruising front. My other half has now secured some ongoing shift work so it’s now our plan to stay in and around the Warwick area and canals for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, I still haven’t won the lottery and as we have been cruising for a few years the time has come to settle down for a while and top up the bank balance. It’s likely we will have a few cruises over long weekends and then take some time off work to have a couple of long cruises. We did have the boat booked in for blacking at Langley Mill but had to change that as we don’t have the time to cruise that far so have booked in locally for August. It will mean less vlogs ((OH NO! how will YouTube cope? I don’t think their business model will cope without you!)) whatever.
So, it’s all change as we get used to the new routine of life. Our life is never boring ((unlike you)) and we both felt ready for some routine. When we do start cruising again it will feel even better. I’m slowly getting to grips with my freelance job and I’ve been creating writing worksheets which I’m selling on Etsy. As well as the writing it’s nice to have time to myself to work on all these projects. You never know, I might actually make some money ((dream on Peachy.)) Although I did receive a nice Amazon book sales payment which is a real achievement. It’s not easy making any money as a author. I’m still chasing that 50 reviews and Lost the Plot sits at 49…
