Oh Lord. Reviews. They are probably the scariest part of being published and of course, the most fascinating. I’ve had some good ones, and one that was totally yeughhh - I still shudder at the thought. This morning I’ve had a most unexpected review from the rather erudite Vulpes Libris. Goodness knows how Decent Exposure ended up on there.
When you publish a book, you walk naked through the world…
I’ve also been interviewed for the December issue of Writers Forum. It’s a really well-written article (much better than I could have done) and shock horror, it gives my ‘writers tips’ (i.e. join the RNA and look at other writers’ tips.)
I just wish I wasn’t so fat and that I’d worn a less revealing top. And covered the tops of my arms. And not been pictured full face on. Yuk. My visits to the pool and gym clearly aren’t working.

I haven’t seen the photo, so this may all be in your head… but commiserations of the worries about weight, Phillipa. I think it’s the writer’s curse. It’s so jolly hard to slim down when you spend all day in front of a computer.
And yet all that thinking is such hard work. If this was a fair universe, writing would use up calories faster than any gym workout.

The pic was taken two months agao and I’ve been to the gym more/eaten a little healthier since then. Since my ankle went and I had to stop running, the weight has piled on. Never mind, I can only keep at it and i enjoy exercising butI must remember not to wear such a low cut top again. LOL.
