Project Progress Project #1: book 2 in my main series Finally completed the novel! The next is doing the design cover. I have tentative covers and maybe something on TikTok which make take a new skill base. New issues, risks, blockers: Doing some TikTok marketing if I can.  Project #8 Complete LinkedIn Learning course or gain 40 CPD/CPE credits Due to job hunting and other things, I haven't done anything here but they have increased the price of the subscription by about 30-40%. It went roughly from £136 to £180. This was because I stopped the subscription. I'm currently on a free trial but if I get a job, I'm going to stop it.    New issues, risks, blockers:  My job hunting seems to be getting in the way.  Project Review Project #7 Watching Instructional videos on BBC Mastro Not done anything so far.  Other Project Status Project #3: Review romance conference material On Hold Project #4: Review Jericho conference material On Hold Project #6: Genre explorat...

Project Progress Project #1: book 2 in my main series I am on the final rounds of edits and it's all looking good. The pace is slow because after 11 years of writing on and off, it's hard to keep on reading it. Hopefully, it just me and not the actual story.  Changes I've changed the main female character's name to something more elegant. It's a really nice name and suits her more than the first name. Then I'm also working on the cover design. I may add some tattoos to the Hero and main love interest. He is currently shirtless so I'm thinking putting him in a teeshirt or something.  New issues, risks, blockers: None at the moment, I just need to keep on. Project #8 Complete LinkedIn Learning course or gain 40 CPD/CPE credits I've now completed 21.8 CPD/CPE credits out of 40 credits. One course proved useful for a job interview so I'm glad I did it.    New issues, risks, blockers:  None apart from boredom. Project Review Project #7 Watching Instructio...

The progress  So far so good, and now I'm thinking about the covers and epilogue. Do I need an epilogue?This is draft of the blurb. What do you think?  The Blurb She has a son to raise, a future to build, and zero time for a man with a record. He has freedom to guard, a family to defy, and one look at her that changes everything. Twenty-year-old Precious survives on rules: trust no man, rely on no one, and keep her three-year-old son safe. Upton Thomas breaks every single one the moment he walks into Mrs. Cee’s chip shop—ex-con, old-money heir, and far too cocky for her liking. But walls crumble when her son collapses and her world stops. In the chaos of a hospital corridor, Upton is the only constant—the only one holding her up, the only one she can’t push away. One reckless kiss later, and the man she swore was temporary is suddenly in her flat, her bed, and the edges of her heart she thought were sealed. Upton is fighting his own war. His powerful family wants to control hi...

Project Progress Project #1: book 2 in my main series Looking good and I've completed a draft round. Now I need to tie up elements and hopefully finish soon. I'm thinking of changing names but I'll see. New issues, risks, blockers: None at the moment, I just need to keep on. Project #8 Complete LinkedIn Learning course or gain 40 CPD/CPE credits I've now completed 16.6 CPD/CPE credits out of 40 credits. The last two modules were mostly irrelevant so I skimmed past them. One I just doubled played in the background to hit the completion rate. It a python course but the material was out of data, as well as the libraries on jupiter so it basically useless, plus programming is boring at times.   New issues, risks, blockers: boredom    Project Review Project #7 Watching Instructional videos: On Hold I signed up for the BBC Maestro costs last November and have barely looked at them so I may start and blog about them here. I'll see. It may be the motivation I'm looking ...
