TB and Miranda MacLeod are still cracking on with A London Love Story, the Kindle Vella series. Because of this series, TB now has to dress up like a princess! TB launched the 2022 IHL Reading Challenge and they’re starting a new feature on IHL called Writerly Wednesday. The reason they’re amping up the offerings on the website this year is IHL turns five this spring! TB hit some roadblocks with her upcoming new release, but she remembered something she learned while climbing a mountain and applied it to her writing.
TB learns about an aspect of Clare’s childhood and is still processing…
Clare crunched her 2021 writing words and, as it turned out, she wrote more words than in 2020, which is surprising given she had to deal with lots of family upheaval. In 2022 news, she’s worked out her schedule and finalized her goals (a good thing because that’s the topic for today!). Clare completed her first HIIT session of the year and almost vomited. And, Clare’s liquid-silk voice is taking the world by storm.
They bang onto the topic: 2022 goals. Clare came at this like a true Virgo, drafting a list, but she knows things could change drastically given the precedent set during the past two years. TB is still in the mind frame from last year when she declared her goal motto: eff it. Have a listen to find out what they hope to accomplish this year.
What are your 2022 goals?
Head over to www.lesbianswhowrite.com, and leave a comment on the episode. Or you can email them at: lesbianswhowrite@gmail.com.
Next week they’ll chat about when to leave your job to write full time.
Happy listening!
Clare and TB

I found it interesting that both of you found it difficult to write stories using, for Clare, American English and for TB to write using British English. My beta reader commented on how I use both British and American English in my story. I use Canadian English because, well, I’m Canadian. Until her comment, I had never stopped to think of all the crossovers, film v movie or neighbourhood v neighborhood for example. She mentioned that it could be confusing. Perhaps the differences in English would make for an interesting topic for Lesbians who Write.
Honeycomb brought up visions of bee’s wax and honey for me so I goggled it. Here in Canada and in many places in the States it’s called sponge toffee.
Good call for an episode, thanks Brandy!
And sponge toffee. Who knew?

I cannot wait to see Princess TB! and as for the Sapphic bit, for me and my bubble that’s a well known term, both in English and in Portuguese, but I’m sure people outside said bubble would have a hard time knowing it, but again, they’d probably would’ve a hard time knowing what LesFic [and probably a lot of other queer terms] means.
P.S.: I’m still catching up on that +130 eps., now less than 100, yas! The taxes, the sodding taxes…lol pardon my French
Good point about lesfic.
And yes, I’m on the edge of my seat for Princess TB.
