So I had a plan –
which was to write one blog a month this year. And now it is the 30th
of May and so far no blog has appeared. There has been action aplenty
in life, and even some bits of writing here and there, but none of it
on the Flamingo Rover blog.
In my defence for the non appearance of a blog Finn turned two –
which means that I have a two year old and a three year old. Just
think about that for a little while. Trust me it is big. In a last ditch attempt to stick to my plan I thought I would shout out about some of the non Flamingo Rover writing, book talking and writing networking I have been doing. Feel free to click through to all my brilliant thoughts!
I was recently interviewed about some of the behind the scenes of You Won't Remember This by the lovely Claire Wingfield. Claire runs a literary consultancy and it was a pleasure to talk to her about getting the job of writing done when you are a mother of small children.
That theme continued in my guest post for Hewer Text - where I wrote about my journey towards getting the book finished and how outsourcing became my best friend.
An exciting event worth being loud about is the fact that I become a founder member of the Women Writers Network. This network is part of my ongoing efforts to push my writer self out into the world - and to raise the profile of women's writing in general. So stay tuned and check out the #women_writers hashtag - because I promise there will be more writing here and elsewhere!
And I for one am excited about that.
Oh and three cheers for Finn for taking a nap so I could write this post.
