In reply to Sam Tonge. Very kind. It's so important to have real life author friends that sit with you over a coffee and give you a reality check. What we might not say on social media, we let spill out over a coffee. The RNA has been great for this. One friend in particular reassures me in the doubting moments. Without these friendships I would be struggling now.

In reply to Jenni Keer.

The shampoo comment made me chuckle 🙂
Thanks, Jenni. Yes, I think it’s very easy to believe every other author is having an amazing time when that’s often not the case at all. And it can be dangerous as we then reach a “well, it must be only me,” frame of mind and negativity can so quickly get out of control.
Best of luck with your well-deserved progress and if you ever need to bend my ear you know how to message me 🙂 Sam x

Timely post for me. I have learned so much following you (even got the shampoo!). Your honesty is refreshing when social media bombards us with the shiny side of life. The mouldy, rusty bits of our lives then somehow get amplified in our heads – and this is dangerous. Thanks again for the reality check. Jenni x
