The Worried Writer #21: Deadlines and Mild Concussion

Just a short episode this month and there is no author interview – apologies! I am buried under a deadline and some life stuff and, as alluded to in the title, I also managed to faint and bang my head a couple of weeks ago which knocked out a week of productivity/messed up my schedule. In this episode I give an update on my writing and talk a little bit about how to cope when life (or, in this case, slight concussion) gets in the way. I also chat about the process of making my debut novel The Language of Spells into an audiobook with ACX. If you’re curious to see (and hear!) the result, the book is available from Audible, Amazon UK, Amazon US, or iTunes. Plus, if you don’t already have an Audible subscription, you can sign up for a FREE one month trial and get The Language of Spells completely free! I thank the wonderful Joanna Penn for alerting me to ACX in the first place – listen to my interview with Joanna here. I also recommend a podcast which I am currently enjoying: The Self-Publishing Formula by bestselling thriller author (and FB advertising guru) Mark Dawson and novice author James Blatch. I will be back next month with a full-length episode… Happy writing, everyone! If you’ve got a question you’d like answered, please email me or find me on Twitter. I’ll answer it on the show and credit you (unless, of course, you ask to remain anonymous). Please spread the word and, if you can spare the time, leave a rating for the show on iTunes. I truly appreciate your support. Thank you for listening!
