This year, in addition to my regular vlogs, I will be posting a series of special vlogs, each focusing on a specific aspect of writing. For the first one, I’ve tackled something really personal: how do you write when life is tough?
This year has been a mix of highs and lows already. Right in the middle of doing a big edit on my seventh novel, A Parcel for Anna Browne, my beloved 93 year-old Gran suffered a massive stroke and passed away.
It broke my heart and stopped me in my tracks.
I didn’t want to write. I couldn’t think about my book – even though I loved it, even though I’m so excited to be getting to tell the story I’ve been wanting to write for a very long time. How do you write when something like that happens?
I hope this vlog gives some answers.
I’d love to know what you think. And if there’s a question you’d like me to answer in a future special vlog, please comment below or email me: mirandawurdy@gmail.com
A beautiful Vlog, Miranda. It made me cry! Thanks for sharing x
You are surrounded with such lovely people, a case of like attracting like. I’m glad they helped you through, especially when it’s a story that you longed to tell. I look forward to reading it.
