NaNoWriMo 2018

Here I go again! I've written about 250 brand new NaNo words. And that's probably all I'll write. I've never won NaNo. lol

If you don't know what NaNo is, this is what it is. You're welcome.

And here's a cover image of the story I'm attempting to write.



But I don't have time. I'm publishing others now. I'm starting at the Great Malvern railway station book shop this month. Super excited about everything!

I'll report back later to see if I'm actually writing. If I remember, haha.

Anxiety Exorcism - The Hellfire Issue No.1

Right. That's it. I'm an ordained minister of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I hereby exorcise the demon of anxiety from my life! I cast thee out, satanic panic.

I also do weddings.
In lighter news, this is also day two of  my next journey in Slimming World. See Day 1 of my "dieting" adventures here. More on that later.

So yeah, I suffer immense anxiety. Why? Because I'm a recluse writer. I shouldn't have been. But oh well, that's the way things go sometimes.

In my mid thirt...

Slimming World Day 1

This is Day 1 starting Slimming World. And that's a laugh and a half, right there! See, the thing is, I did Slimming World last year. I lost 5 stone in as many months! So I was like, that's enough weight lost, now I can eat and drink whatever I want and stop exercising too.

Wow was that ever a mistake! Big time.

So yeah, I piled the lbs back on. I think I gained back 2 stone in 10 months. So I am somewhat less annoyed that it takes me longer to gain weight, than it does to drop it.

But toda...

I’m A Keen Cyclist Now

I rode my bike around the block again this morning. Well it’s not my bike, it’s my bf’s bike. And actually it’s not his either, it’s a bicycle he got for his mum years ago that was never used. So now I’m using it, and it’s great! Also, when I say AROUND THE BLOCK it doesn’t mean your typical American square block, because Malvern is the English countryside with squiggly lanes and non-straight roads. I’ll download a cycle map app to route my paths soon, then I can put pics up on here.

But anywa...

New Beginnings

It's funny that I've struggled to find the perfect title for this post. I'm trying to convey the message that I'm doing new things with my life. Moving house soon, launching my own publishing company. But I don't want the word "new" to mean this is only the beginning, because while it is that, it's also a continuation of a life I've lived thus far.

Yes it's super exciting that I'm going to be a publisher, but that's not where it stops. Once my publishing house is up and running I will continue...

A Writer, A Train, And Oh So Cold Snow

I have writerly things to do. I have publishing things to do. Where do I even start listing these things in order for this blog post? I know! I'll work on my business plan and that will help give me structure in life.

You see, since publishing my first novel in 2011, I've been a writer and/or author. Since then I've been a self-publisher too. And now that I'm starting up my own publishing company I will be a straight up publisher. What goes into being an independent publisher though? I'll tell...

My Upcoming Worcester News Column & Book Signing

Article by Jess CharlesI've been chatting with Michael Purton, editor of the Worcester News and Malvern Gazette. We are in exciting talks about Ink Hills publishing his works of fiction. Updates on more of that soon. Also, Michael has suggested I write a weekly column about starting up my new publishing company. So if anyone wants to follow I will be providing information about what's involved with becoming an independent publisher.
And Happy St Patrick's Day indeed. I will be at The Rock Tave...

Stephen Hawking FINALLY Died Today

This morning I woke up and reached for my phone. The first thing that came up on Facebook was a friend posting his sadness at the news of Stephen Hawking's death. I immediately shouted out to my daughter, "Stephen Hawking finally died!"

My use of the word "finally" surprised me as I'm certain it would have come across as cold and disrespectful, but on the contrary, in my mind the word slipped out in awe.

I've always been amazed at the longevity of Stephen Hawking, despite the crippling disease...

I'm Back!

I'm going to start blogging here again because I noticed today on Amazon Author Central that my blogger posts show up on Amazon, whereas my blog posts on my website do not, and that aint good. So until I figure out how to amalgamate my blogs, I'll post here and on my author site. A copy and paste dealio. <-- Made up word. I love making up words. Love it when my kids make up words too. I always try and remember to write down made up words of my three year old especially. Their so cute at th...

This Blog is Old School!

This is my old blogger blog. I now post direct on my website suzkorb.com - under the Blog tab. Obviously. And here's a link!

I'm surprised I haven't just deleted this entire blog. I used to do that over the years! But I will totally leave this one up. I've got lots of terrific guest posts on here for your perusal. But there's brand new posts on my website, plus the latest of my book publications.

So visit my website for my new personal blog, book updates, and more! And visit my publishing house...
