🎄 Advent Day 13
Sometimes simply being still and quiet is a lesson in itself. It might not look like much from the outside - “doing nothing” - but that kind of patience can make the difference. 🐴📚

🎄Advent Day 11
The middle of a story is always the hardest bit to write - and the middle book of a trilogy proved no different. But this has horse-detail for die-hard equestrian fiction fans, and enough story for my not-quite-so-completely horsey readers! 🐎✨

Chuffed to have been interviewed by fellow #equestrianfiction author, Genevieve McKay for her latest newsletter. I’m confident that if you enjoy my books, you’ll like hers too so check her out on Amazon.

You know how sometimes a picture just speaks to you?
That’s what happened when I first saw the painting by my friend Wendy (from www.therustykiln.co.uk) - that was before the Livy trilogy even existed. And now it’s the cover image for Staying the Course. 🐴💕 #horsebooks #equestrianfiction
Every trilogy starts somewhere… but this one definitely wasn’t planned at the outset! 😅
Staying the Course is book 3 in my Livy equestrian series - written for all of us who grew up on pony books and never quite got over them. 🐴💗
Available on Amazon now! ✨ #adultponybooks #equestrianfiction
So many times I wanted to give up on this book but the story (and Livy!) wouldn’t let me. And today, I finally get to show you the cover. 🎉
Keep your eyes peeled for publication updates! 👀 📚

Whew! I have done SO much editing this week & weekend, but Heart of Hope is inching closer to completion ❤️🐎👩💻💪🏼

Today’s #wordcount - 617
I now have over 95,000 words of draft manuscript. Was aiming for 80,000 ish. Oops! And still have some missing scenes. Still, it’s always easier to delete than add so should all work out in the end…😬

Had a really good session editing the book. Have made some structural changes the last couple of days. Feeling more positive.

Adding and deleting at this stage as I work my way through the chapters trying to dig out the storyline from the distractions!

After a week of struggling and just doing the minimum most days, today has been a good confidence boost. Maybe I can get this done after all! 🤞

Still on the short stories - neglecting the novel….
#amwriting #equestrianfiction #200wordsaday
Today’s #wordcount - 200
But actually far more productive than the number would suggest - working on the short story, had a bit of a breakthrough and think I might be making headway. 🤞

Another minimum day - but when you’re on the edits, it’s no longer all about the word count.

The first five chapters are in some kind of order! Only 20ish to go! 🤣

Brilliant writing day - buzzing as I wrote a good chunk of what will probably be the penultimate scene of the book.
#amwriting #equestrianfiction #200wordsaday

Had an idea for another scene in an earlier part of the book.

Which isn’t bad given I only spent a few minutes writing today! Just goes to show, you can always squeeze in a few words! 😉

Gone back to add in a conversation which explains the motivation of one of the main characters. Even if I don’t keep this scene, it clarifies the character and their behaviour for me.

Wasn’t feeling it when I sat down to write, but that’s a good chunk of a scene drafted.

Would have done more but was getting a bit late.
The end (of the first messy draft) is almost in sight…. Whoop whoop 🙌
