TB starts off the episode by saying she doesn’t want to look like a gnome. In writing news, she’s finalizing Earl’s Court for her ARC team and will soon be in full launch mode. Toot toot! In shocking news, TB has started writing book 3 in The Miracle Girl series. This story involves a lot of research, which she loves to delve into, but it’s difficult for TB to stop researching and to start writing. In podcast news, TB has been working on a techie thing, and it just might be live soonish. So don’t start tooting any horns until it’s been made official.
Clare is getting some writing done, which is fab news for those who can’t wait to read book 8 in the London Romance series. However, she set up a preorder for this one, and with her family drama, it’s possible she won’t make the original date. Clare needs to figure out the best way to tackle the preorder problem: extend it for a month or outright cancel it. On the health front, she’s back to doing yoga and daily walks. In Brazilian publishing news, Clare received the cover of Before You Say I Do in Portuguese. Lastly, Clare was gifted a package of chocolate boobs by a librarian. Who says librarians are stuffy?
They move on to the topic: how are they doing on their yearly goals, and do they need to make any pivots? After TB’s terrible 2020, she was much kinder to herself with her 2021 goals and oddly enough, she’s been super productive. Clare started the year off strong, but then her family emergency has thrown a spanner in the works, forcing her to juggle writing and family life. Both are learning that the little tweaks they instituted on all fronts have helped them juggle their work and personal lives better. They are having to pivot on different fronts, but that’s all part of staying nimble and learning from past mistakes. As they love to say, the key is to just keep going.
