edit data

Isabel is a writer, a reader, and a lover of love. She couldn’t stick to a subgenre if her life depended on it, but MM romance is her jam. She lives in the UK, reads way too much, and cannot be trusted anywhere near chocolate.

Writing and reading plans for January

I sent the first newsletter of the year out yesterday, and at least 25% of it was me getting overexcited about the picturesque wintry weather we’re having. Welp. We're not having it anymore! As I write this (at 08:33) it’s dark and gloomy, and rain is clattering against my window.

Boo.

Anyway, Happy New Year! 🥂

I’m working away on my very large WIP, which is rapidly shrinking as I cut away all the wa Read more of this blog post »

Isabel added a status update: I set myself the goal of reading at least six non-fiction books in 2026. While I can zoom through novels like you wouldn’t believe, if it’s non-fiction, it takes me forever. Even if I’m into it! I started with The Chimp Paradox at random (saw it on Kindle Daily Deal 😆) and I actually finished it before the end of the month. That’s a great start to my challenge!
