December 2024 Update!

 


Hey Folks!

The last month of 2024 has arrived.  I've said it in many updates, but 2024 has flown by.

Not a big update this month as I've not done much except been off work.

November Review -

November started off well.  I went to Denby Dale, a quaint village on the outskirts of Huddersfield.

A lovely village. I went to support fellow writer and Cleckheaton Writing Group leader Karen Naylor.

There was an event held for local authors, to sell their novels.

Also there was my Edge-lit werewolf friend (or fiend), Nick Stead.

I purchased their books and a crime novel.  It was great to see them and catch up.



Although, as much as the event got me fired up to write again, sadly I didn't write any stories in November.  Although I wrote more blog posts.

Reading wise in November I finished 77 Shadow Street and started Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie.

With being off work, to help declutter my noggin, I rearranged by book shelves.




I also hauled the last book I needed in Terry Pratchett's City Watch series. The Fifth Elephant.

In December -

My reading goal is to finish Best Served Cold.  Then just before Christmas start reading a Christmas novel, say,  Christmas Evie by Karen Naylor.

Writing in December may take a back seat, with Christmas coming up, my stress and anxiety being up and decision about work coming up.

With work, at the minute I'm still off with stress and have a meeting with work in a few days.  Something needs to be done as my head's in a fog most of the time.  Also getting less money ain't great at Christmas.

So December may be a mixed bag.

Anyway hope you're all well and getting into the Christmas spirit!
