Obligatory end of year post (coming tomorrow, Books I Read in 2022). It’s been a ride. I lost a friend when they moved away, but I’ve made several new ones. Started out the year by beginning my dissertation, submitted it in May, graduated in July and then kind of ground to a halt.

Spent the rest of the year, writing, reading, job hunting and being with people.

It’s been a particularly good year for my writing, started this blog in January (and have picked it up again recently), and as of now, Dancing with Edith is at 54,226 words. I’ve even rounded off the year by having some inspiration for the until now dormant WW1 novel.

Also at the end of the year came genuine job prospects, and hoping to kick of 2023 with some paid work.

Significant figures this year include family and friends, a couple of new author friends, Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot, and of course Edith, Freddy and Percy.

Edith first and foremost. She’s led me to go to new places and experience new things and I’m grateful.

Wishing everyone a great 2023, filled with whatever you would like most.
