Ditto! I love finding other people on the same journey, it can feel quite isolating without the blogging community.

I’m glad to hear it 🙂 It’s come from a place of needing to know more myself, so I thought, why not blog about it too? Thank you for the comment

Hi Amy! Thanks for the follow! I’ll follow you too as soon as I can find the button! Meanwhile, I just have a little question. Is there a particular reason you centre your text in all your posts? I’m asking, because I’m very layout-conscious, and I find it makes your pieces hard to read. Our eyes, when reading text, automatically search for the words to be justified left. When they’re not, it’s jarring. Fine for a headline, but not whole paragraphs. Feel free to ignore me, though. 🙂 See you!

Welcome to a very exciting and long journey of book writing. Are you thinking of publishing? What genres interest you most?

Thank you for your comment. I am hoping to send my finished novel to a few agents and see if I get any interest, but right now I am just focusing on the writing. I love thrillers and mysteries, but also romance and women’s literature. I’m hoping to produce something similar in style to The Girl on The Train or Lesley Pearse books (but I’m certainly not thinking I will be as good as they are!)

Thank you for the comment 🙂 I get up very early and am probably quite sleep deprived. I think that is the curse of an aspiring author though. I look forward to reading more from you in the future 🙂
