Writing is a team game
I’m off to my Pacific Fair signing today. Would love to catch up with any Gold Coast readers.
Other than that, it’s wrapping presents, buying food, all the usual. I’m compiling my year’s big thank-you list which I will post next week.
Anyone who tells you that writing is a totally solitary occupation is not being entirely accurate - most writers don’t function without a legion of support staff: family, trusted readers, stalwart fans and then there are the professionals; editors, publishers, sales people, marketing etc etc. AND THEN there are the random people that happen to pick the day you need it most, to email you to say how much they liked your book, or your characters. They are the ones that save you from yourself; from taking you bat and ball and going home. Them, and all the others who have invested in your creativity.
Writing is a team game, in my mind.
