🎵On The Eleventh Day of Christmas

The writing advice Louise Candlish gave to me

Today is the penultimate day of my Twelve Days of Christmas Writing Advice, and now that we are almost at the end, it’s a good time to start reflecting on what we have learnt, what these writers have instilled in us, and any particular advice from the series that we’re going to take away and apply to our own work in progress or indeed our lives.

We will be meeting on Monday to discuss all of this and more, so if you would like to come along and sit around my dining table (if only virtually) then do please upgrade —I’d love to see you there!
