There's just one day left before the Harlequin Historical Authors Advent Calendar goes live. Don't miss out on your chance to win one (or more) of our great daily giveaways. Remember, all entries will also be entered for the Grand Draw at the end of the contest which means you could win a Kindle Fire HD. The more times you enter the better your chances of winning. The relevant links will be posted on this blog.
My day on the Advent Calendar is the 6th December. Look out for more details here.
In the meantime, I'd like to say thanks to my writing buddies in the novelists' group for their critical insights yesterday evening. It's always much appreciated. Writers get so close to their work that they don't always see it. That sounds like a paradox but it's true. Getting fresh insights to the process is invaluable. I can't believe I actually used the same word ten times on one page and didn't even notice! (My former record for this was five.) My excuse is that it was only a first draft. Sounds better than 'Joanna's losing the plot' though.
While I've been slaving over a hot keyboard my lovely husband has spring cleaned (autumn cleaned?) the kitchen and done the hoovering. He's done a wonderful job too. He's always been a practical sort of bloke who can fix leaking pipes and mend boilers, but that kind of quiet domestic support really means a lot. He's a good cook as well. And before anyone asks, no, I certainly wouldn't swap him.
Okay, it's back to the Dark Ages for me. My heroine is in a spot of bother and needs rescuing. Cue for entry of gorgeous hero...
