#writingadvice

A picture can capture so much. I hope this helps someone someday.
Today I start my latest novel. It’s my 16th so you think I’ll be used to it by now (which I am) but... • what if I’ve written my last novel already? Counter that with the truth that the more you do something the better you get at it. • yeah but what if everyone finally discovers I can’t do this? Counter that with the memory that you’ve felt this every time you’ve started each new book and readers love them all the more. • but what if I’ve lost it? It’s been a long time since I last wrote. Counter that with the fact creativity is at your core. It’s not something you have to work up, a flame that you have to protect from going out but the essence of who you were made to be. Put those fingers on the keyboard and let the magic happen! • but but... enough all ready. You can do this. You are good at doing this. In fact many are saying you are one of the best of your generation at doing this. So push those thoughts aside, stand at that desk, because this is your arena, this is your concert stage. This is where you perform. And when it’s ready, when you’ve done all you can, there will be a book to read that your fans can’t wait to have. So, #scrivener primed and ready. Tea warm. Flowers visible beyond. This is it. The writer is in the house. It’s #author time 😎

Let the #planning begin!

Mapping out my next two books which I plan to write in October and November 😎 #theactingpresident and #theblackdolphin will form books seven and eight in #thehuntseries.
Really hope these blank pages fill up massively over the next few days as I let my brain do its thing—create!! #amwriting #prep #plotting #creating #authors #writers

• reader email sent? Check
• tall mug of green tea made? Check
• sunshine of the balcony? Check
• copy of #TheMeltdown handy? Check

Time for more reading! And it’s research too 😎

#research 😎

Am loving! reading through book 5 in #thehuntseries as I continue my prep for next month’s #writing.
Man, this is such a good read. Honestly. Get started on this series. You’ll LOVE IT 💕 I know you will.

Am re-reading #TheMachine as I prepare for book 7 in #thehuntseries later this year and I’ve got to say.... I’m thoroughly thoroughly enjoying the read. Seems like I do know what I’m doing. 😀This book possibly contains the greatest political speech a Russian has ever made.
Looking for a series that gets better with every book? Why not try this one.

Schools start today in Estonia 🇪🇪. My girls are back in tomorrow.
Tomorrow is also my daughter’s 14th birthday but, and trying not to get overlooked by all these events, today is also my 18th wedding anniversary to my amazing wife 😀

One last (perhaps 😛) paddle in the sea to chill on this warm start to September.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead for all.

🇪🇪 vs 🇳🇱 My 9 year old’s first match. World Cup runners up playing, no less!

Rooting for the home nation, of course. Not sure our Dutch friends are 😀

I’m fast becoming a huge fan of these beauties 😀

Perfect background for reading research on my sunny balcony. Two new #novels are coming from me this autumn 🍂 For now, summer still very much here.
In my September newsletter I will be testing a weekly interactive story... so look out for that!

New strategy.
I’m not sure people even realize I’m the author of these books before me. When they find out they are super interested.
Should I wear a flashing hat with a downwards pointing arrow next time saying: actual #author? 😂😀 #eate #schoolvisits #eesti #meettheauthor

Day three of three in Pärnu at the #EATE event.
What I do say to passing people:

Hello, unique opportunity. (And smile, always smile). What I want to say (read: every author everywhere): Please take a closer look. You might not realize how much work went into this. You probably don’t know that purchasing off me today actually helps feed my family. You might think I’m covered but we’re not. Selling books makes a huge difference and we aren’t all giant publishers with giant lists of contacts. And these might just be the best books for sale here today. And I’ll sign them. And you’ll meet me. Yay for us. Did I say it really helps me personally?

And smile. And be polite. And keep all the above on the inside. 😂😂😀 #authorlife #nearlydone #homesoon

Lunch is done. So far, so good.

Day 2 in Pärnu. It’s the start of the two day English Teachers of Estonia annual conference.
I’m here again, wondering who will speak to me next, which new readers I’m about to meet and intrigued to find out what opportunities will come by the end of tomorrow. 😀

Room with a view.
Day 1 completed in Pärnu at the #Allecto conference. It’s the #EATE conference tomorrow.
Already come schools interested with having me visit and some new readers found. Hoping for much more of the same tomorrow.
Now time to read and watch the #sea

All set up!

Day 1 of 3 at two connected teacher conferences in Pärnu.
Let’s see if some good school connections open up.

Only best-selling British #author living in Estonia, after all.
