Here’s my author wrapped for 2024. Astonishingly I seem to have written a whopping 350,000 words across five different books (all historical romance). Like, how? How did that even happen? #WriterLife - ThreadSky

Here’s my author wrapped for 2024.

Astonishingly I seem to have written a whopping 350,000 words across five different books (all historical romance).

Like, how?
How did that even happen?

Quite amazing, Catherine! I am in awe (as I battle on revising the 3rd draft of just one book)👏

That was me a couple of years ago. Not quite sure how or why I managed so much in 2024 but I’m not holding my breath for a similar level of achievement in 2025!
And revising the third draft is such an important stage of the process.
Do you have a particular focus for this pass of revisions?

I'm trying to make 'the black moment' as strong as possible, Seana. My problem is - I have two or three sub-plots that could each cause a disaster in the relationship! Hopefully an intense read-through will present the answer (even if it lands in my brain in the middle of the night) 😃

Any way of combining them into a single clusterf**k?

That sounds like a very good idea. Each strand contributes to the tension between the couple, so I don't want to cut one out. Thank you! (Thinking cap on already)

Excellent!! There’s got to be a way!

Wow, a phenomenal achievement 👏👏👏

I’m actually astounded myself!

Aww thank you! I love volunteering with the RNA - a privilege!

Three of those books will be published in 2025, and I can’t wait to see what readers think of them!
