Joanne McClean Hi there Janell,
It's lovely to hear from you!
I am currently working on a number of projects at the minute - one of which is part of the Breathing Series : One Last Breath. (Danny's story from Learning to Breathe)
However, during this time of year I am very busy in my full-time job which makes it harder to fit in time to write. :(
There is one project I am nearly finished which I hope to release in the next few weeks which means that I will have more time to work on the others.
Unfortunately, I'm looking at a late 2015 release date for some of these projects.
I am aiming for a Spring 2015 release date for One Last Breath but if this changes, be sure to check on my Facebook page or on here for any updates.
Again, it's lovely to hear from one of my readers and I hope I answered your question!
Happy reading!
Joanne McClean The old cliched Never Give Up springs to mind. But mostly, keep trying, test out your work, try new things, write the story for yourself and write it your way. Learn from your mistakes and most importantly, write because you love it. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that writing cannot be forced, it must come from the soul.
And as I like to say ... What is life if you don't have a dream to chase?
Joanne McClean It was inspired from my high school years. I was reminiscing about when I was 14/15 and how there was this one guy who I had to sit beside for one class and how he infuriated me but also how we had some laughs together. I loved arguing with him even though he annoyed the hell out of me!
That's when Someone Like You was born - I love the classic love/hate relationship.
Joanne McClean Books, movies, TV shows, songs ... sometimes it can be something simple like a phrase I've overheard or something I've read in a magazine. Quite recently, I have be inspired by the scenery around me ... but more on that project next year!
Joanne McClean Quite a few projects! I'm nearly ready to release Someone Like You and am starting work on the sequel to Not in Love with Kale Eddison as well as finishing off several other projects. I'm constantly working on new projects.
Joanne McClean Getting to create an entirely different world that my readers can live it. I love the escapism and conjuring up new ideas and characters to share with the world.
Joanne McClean Not very well! Ha ha! No, I try to forget about writing for a while and focus on spending time doing other things. I read, watch TV and then I feel inspired again. Although sometimes it's been known to last for quite a while but I usually muddle through it.
