A little update
Hi everyone,
I hope you are doing well. I thought I would give you all an update on what I am up to. I am making progress in limiting time spent on social media, and trying to focus more on writing.
I might have made some headway in my marketing efforts, but it is a long, slow climb to where I want/hope to be. It’s good that I have your company, so I can share both my successes and upsets.
I am working on a few projects at the moment. I write depending on which ones I get inspiration for. I am listening to the Dune audiobook (which I received from a very kind person), and I keep getting random ideas for Queen of Frost and Ice. It makes sense, since that will be a dystopian novel, but still a bit random since it is not science fiction.
I am glad for the audiobook, as I would never be able to pronounce the names otherwise. I am a few chapters in, and it is a compelling story. I think I know how science fiction books make the readers aware of the newly created words and worlds… mainly through repetition 😆
I have the narrator’s voice stuck in my head:
Arraikas. Dune. Sand people.
I will tell you more about Dune as I go through it (It is 50 hours). I might write a proper review (depending on how much time I have between projects 😅)
The audiobook giveaway for Sleeping Beauty no more is going on until Oct 1st. Be sure to enter at this Twitter link: https://twitter.com/Aisha__Urooj/stat...
Thank you for reading! I hope you have a great day! 😊

Learning...
I know I haven’t been posting as much but I have a good reason: I am taking part in writing seminars and courses (both paid and free). Being a writer means taking the craft seriously, and learning from others.
My mind goes all or nothing (I wish I could compartmentalize!) so I have been procrastinating on my writing 😭 I should be working on my four projects (Note to self: Next time, keep it under two lol).
I am making my way through Book Two of Dune. The great thing about the audiobook is that I am fully immersed (and can’t skim the descriptive passages, even if it is about sand). I am devastated by the tragic deaths in the book. I hope it gets less bleaker. What a phenomenal story. I will write the review… eventually… because like I said four projects!
Speaking of reviews, I would love to get more reviews for Eleanor’s Travels. It is a sweet contemporary romance novel about traveling the world and finding love. If you like a review copy, you can grab it here:
