Stop your crying, it's a sign of the times.

Hoops and a black short dress!

These weekend posts, a glimpse behind the scenes as I write a new novel or three, are for paid subscribers. If you are a paid subscriber - thank you! I appreciate it. If not, I would love it if you would consider upgrading. It costs just over £1 a week (less if you go for an annual subscription!)

If you would like a paid sub but can’t afford one right now, email me and I’ll sort you out.

I find that I always want to start these weekend posts thus

I am getting through my edits. And I’m enjoying them when I’m actually doing them. But then I stop and, god, it takes me so so long to get back to it.

I want a gif of Mel on Bake Off telling Ruby Tandoh to “Get a grip! Get a ruddy grip!” but I can’t find it.

I really need a break. But I won’t get one until I’ve finished these edits. But I’m finding them so hard to get through. Because I need a break.

Have I written this same post before? Argh.

Never not relevant.
