I’ve taken a break from social media over the holidays because it can be a huge distraction, and I really wanted to enjoy some family time. But the house is now empty, much quieter and very tidy!
A new year, of course, is a time for reflection, and for looking forward. I love making plans, and the feeling of having a fresh start, and I’m looking forward to the year ahead.
This year I am determined to get through my huge TBR list – I really need to read at least one book a week, and post a review a week on the blog. Please do hold me to account if I fail to do so – I sometimes need a kick up the bum!
This is pretty much what my TBR list looks like
I also desperately need to get back to writing. I’m setting aside a day a week this year to do so.
And now I’m fifty I recognise the need to really stay fit and healthy, so I’m going back to running. Luckily I have a husband who is a keen runner and he’s also great at motivating me, as well as putting up with me swearing at him when he makes me go out even when it’s pouring with rain (which is every day in Wales).
To keep me motivated I’m going to sign up for a 10K – I last did one ten years ago (gulp!) and it felt wonderful when it was done. My daughter also wants to do a ‘Tough Mudder’ and I’m definitely considering that.
And of course I want to continue editing – working with wonderful clients. I love my job and one of the shelves in my bookcase is filled with books I’ve edited. It makes me hugely proud to see them and I hope to add many more this year.
To celebrate the New Year and a new decade, I’m offering a 10% discount on any bookings placed before the end of January for February and March. Drop me an email at alisonewilliams@sky.com and I’ll get straight back to you.
You can find out about my editing services here, and read testimonials from very happy clients here.
Wishing all my clients, old and new, and all my lovely blogging and writing friends a very happy and successful New Year!
Your TBR pile looks like mine. And I feel your pain with both getting back to writing and getting some exercise in. You made me laugh out loud with this one: ‘putting up with me swearing at him…’ Happy New Year, Alison. 🥂🎉 Here’s to much writing and reading. (And running. And swearing.)
