The Blog Awakens

*Yawns*

*Stretches*

And so we come to the inevitable first post of the year after a little bit of time away hibernating/running around after excitable kids over the holidays.

So. How are you? Good? Good!

I'm probably about a week late for an end of 2014 reflection, because we've already said our goodbyes and moved onto life with 2015. So I'll just say that it was one of those years where I possibly found the right path again, and it was a hell of a lot of fun. From starting the supersecret movie/comic project to quitting the rat race to start my own little copywriting business (StoryInk Creative FTW!), to getting this blog back up on its feet - 2014 definitely holds up in my all-time list of best years.

So what's coming in 2015?

Well, I'm REALLY hoping to finally spill the beans about the supersecret project, because it's actually very cool and it could end up being a very interesting insight into the 'behind the scenes' of such things. Hopefully I'll be able to bring you news around April.

I'm also looking forward to working with some more wonderful clients after a fortuitous and rather brilliant start writing copy for Wakelet - a platform that allows you to take control of a world of content in ways you really need to go and see for yourself. (Seriously, it's going to be huge.)

And, of course, there is this here blog. Get ready for some more fantastic guest posts from professionals in the publishing and film industries, as well as other writing-related geniuses. Plus I'll be throwing in my two cents' worth whenever I can with news, insights, sneak-peeks at artwork(!) and other helpful (and maybe not-so-helpful-but-hopefully-still-interesting) posts of my own.

First up, we've got a brilliant interview next week with debut author Tonya Kuper about whether interning for a literary agency is a good step towards getting published - subscribe today so you don't miss it!
