My April Blog Challenge - 11th April

Not too much writing achieved today. Instead I read a couple of chapters and tweaked them where needed. Some authors write the whole novel before doing back to it and reworking it, but I prefer to edit as I go. I sent these chapters to my friend, Mike, who is the first person to be checking this novel. He will be suggesting better words (which I usually accept) and sometimes suggesting that I expand the writing a little (which I occasionally accept!). This is also a chance for someone to query any historical/local details and prompt me to double-check.
In the evening I went to Brookland to give a talk about the inspiration, writing and publishing Secrets of the Shingle. The village hall was such a welcoming space with gingham tablecloths, and fresh flowers. I am often asked to judge their monthly competition, which is quite daunting! The talk flowed well, the members were friendly, and I sold plenty of books afterwards, A great evening.
