II love New Year – it’s the perfect time for making new starts. I like to begin a new book in January, having spent the autumn laying the groundwork – that’s been my pattern for many years. It reminds me of waiting for the wave on a bodyboard and catching it right at the start of its rush to the beach.
When it comes to my personal writing, I buy a brand new notebook for the start of each New Year, so the first of January always feels like setting out on a new adventure. I recommend it! I hope 2019 will bring you many new writing adventures, and here are your free-range writing forays to get things started. There’s just one rule: stick to the timings.
