Yes of course you keep going. Of course you can't be sure where you are off to. And of course your fingers are numb.

In the meantime, you might become a cooking writer!

Thank you dear Helen. Food and cooking is a theme that keeps finding me :) I so appreciate your encouragement. And congratulations to you on your ASA Mentorship - I saw your name in the announcement last week. I was in last year's cohort and can vouch for how great it is!

thank you philippa, my heart is slightly in my mouth (what if we don’t get on? what if she makes me rewrite the whole thing? etc) but I also feel it is the right thing to be doing

I’m sure you’ll get so much out of it! You’re welcome to DM me any time if you want to chat about it or have any questions ☺️

"What's the point?" A familiar question.

How do you work through it?

Ooof....well a lot of the time I'm under contract to a deadline so I have to just press on. But if one book is selling badly it can be hard to write the next for example. I try to remember why I want to do this....to create a story I want to read, that will maybe help other people escape. And then I just try to write SOMETHING even if it's utter rubbish!
