Linda is doing her #JusJoJan thing, like she does every year, and though I haven’t taken part as such, this year, because of, well, stuff, I did offer a prompt word for a day, and that day happens to be today, so I thought I should really pop a post on!
Hello again! It’s time for the 14th daily prompt for Just Jot it January 2020. Today’s prompt was generously donated to us by Ritu. Thanks, Ritu! Make sure you visit her blog to read her post and say hi. And follow her while you’re there!
Hello Ritu! Popping in to say ‘hi!’ and I might just follow you too! 🤪
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 14th, 2020, is “publish.” Use the word “publish” any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Ho hum. Well, I wonder why the word publish is on my mind so much at the moment?
Could it be because in less than four weeks, I am finally going to be an official novel author?
You know this has been a LOOOOOOONG time coming if you have been with me since the beginning of this blog.
The blog is five years old, but the story that I finally managed to get ready to publish was already in its teen years at that time, and now, at the grand old age of nearly twenty, it is finally going to be out there.
It was always a dream to have a book published, though I didn’t know the ins and outs of how that would happen, until I started blogging. Encouragement from my Blogily, all my readers, pushed me to finally finish that manuscript, and to polish it to a state I never thought I could achieve.
But I did managed to sneak in a poetry book in the middle, somehow.
I found it much easier to publish that. After all, aside from spellings, and formatting, the editing wasn’t as arduous.
Well, that’s what I think, anyway. Because I believe poetry conveys the words from a poet’s heart, and no one should tamper with those.
And now, here I am, writing blog tour posts that will be published in the lead up to Pub Day (no, not a day celebrating English drinking establishments, but Publication Day!) on 9th February, 2020.
Right, off I go to write more words!
But if you are interested, here’s the info about my book baby, and a preorder link!

Thanks again for the prompt word, Ritu. ❤ I had a lot to say about publishing myself, oddly enough. 😉

Thank you! It took an age… Hope the second one will roll a long faster or I’ll be publishing that posthumously!
