I was very much in the doldrums with my writing, plodding away on the endless treadmill of rejection while I submitted my book, Safe Hands. There was also stuff going on in my personal life that was taking the shine off my normally positive exterior. The good news is I’m now back, feeling more positive than I have for a while and with lots of plans for the year to come and beyond.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>So this little episode sets up the year ahead and gets us all ready for a happy, healthy and productive 2023.
