BTS016, Writer's Insecurity, Revising a Thriller Novel, Editing a Nonfiction Book, and Starting a New Series

Send us a text

So, I started filming weekly writing Vlogs on my YouTube channel after remembering this had helped with my productivity and making time for revisions. But, I soon came to another realisation. Video editing is, and it’s like pulling teeth, which is why I decided to turn this Behind the Scene Diary into a chatty weekly update. Let’s face it: if I can do it on video, I can do it on a podcast. This means I’ll be sharing what’s going on behind the scenes as I publish my three thriller novels and the journey beyond publication. It will be like a chat over a cup of tea between friends. So, you’re going to get an honest inside scoop.

Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

  • I’ve completed the major plot revisions for Missing.
  • The next steps in my revisions for Missing.
  • Setting a deadline for revisions and contacting editors.
  • My struggles with insecurity about my writing and how they’ve intensified as I approach publication.
  • Where I’m at with the second edition of my short nonfiction book.
  • And I’m starting a new series, and what this means for my future publication schedule.

Thanks for listening!
