Not too long now till the big guy visits I am excited and happy to report that the Editor has finished with Family Heartbreak and has now sent it back to me for review. Seems like so long ago since I wrote it, that I am thoroughly enjoying recollecting the story. Another step closer!! Jenny x.

Publisher update http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/publisher-update/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/publisher-update/#respond Sun, 10 Mar 2019 09:33:04 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=205 Continue reading Publisher update ]]> Hi all Hope you’ve had a brilliant weekend. As the title states, I’ve heard back with answers to all my questions Firstly, the publication date means that is when the book will be available for sale and now it’s full steam ahead with marketing.  I am beyond excited and anxious all at the same time. As you know the delay with the new website has been completely my doing, but now that the publication date is just around the corner (yup you guessed it) I’m putting pressure on the poor guy to get it up and running so the book can be pre-ordered. Hoping to share that link with you all in the very near future. Bye for now. Jenny x

Publication date for “Family Heartbreak” http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/publication-date-for-family-heartbreak/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/publication-date-for-family-heartbreak/#respond Sat, 02 Mar 2019 09:31:50 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=203 Continue reading Publication date for “Family Heartbreak” ]]> Hi all Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. 29 March it is.  Not entirely sure what having a publication date actually means but I’m pretty certain I’m getting closer. I’m sure there were eyes rolling when I asked the question, along with others, from my publisher.  Either that or they are used to it with new authors.  I will report back once I’ve received their response and this all makes a little more sense to me. Until then be well and happy. Jenny x

Is it just me? http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/is-it-just-me/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/is-it-just-me/#respond Sun, 03 Feb 2019 09:29:20 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=201 Continue reading Is it just me? ]]> Or is 2019 speeding along equally as quickly as last year? Hard to believe January is already behind us and we’re into the second month of the year. Hope your year started off well and continues in the right direction. Be mindful though that it is life, so expect a few turns and bumps along the way ???? On my front, Love Happiness is progressing well, although admittedly I often do miss my daily quota. I suspect that an explanation as to why, would certainly encourage comments like “if you really want it, you’ll make time.” I do so want it but some days when I am utterly shattered after a day at work, I just do not have it in me. I’m just doing my best. As for the new website, it’s looking great and I cannot wait to share it with you all. I’ve been much more proactive with the developer and I am sure we’re not too far away to it going live. Keep well everyone. Jenny x

Compliments of the Season http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/compliments-of-the-season/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/compliments-of-the-season/#respond Sun, 30 Dec 2018 09:58:22 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=121 Continue reading Compliments of the Season ]]> So that’s it, another Christmas over. Trust and hope you and your loved ones, all had a wonderful one. With one day left of this year and as we all head into 2019, may I take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for 2019 . May it be filled with everything your heart’s desire, good health, love and happiness. From my end, I have only a few more chapters left of reviewing my book and then it’s back with the Publisher. 2019 will be the year when “Family Heartbreak” is released and “Love Happiness” is finished. Until next year it’s bye for now. Jenny x.

Shovelling Sand http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/shovelling-sand/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/shovelling-sand/#respond Tue, 06 Nov 2018 09:55:40 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=117 Continue reading Shovelling Sand ]]> Hi everyone Two days ago whilst doing an insane amount of filing for our business (I need to keep on top of it and not let it pile up again), I came across the first draft of “Family Heartbreak.” Printed on double sided A4, a bulldog clip kept all the pages containing my many hand written amendments together. Just reading the first two pages, I was drawn back into the story with the many grammar mistakes and incorrect formation of sentences very apparent. As you may recall it took three drafts before I submitted my manuscript which is currently with an Editor of my Publisher who is reviewing and where necessary amending the same, so we produce its best version before being launched. I can hardly wait but I have to confess I had no idea it took this long. “Love Happiness” is at the initial first draft stage and I am doing my best in writing my quota every day. I have come across a saying which perfectly describes the “first draft” stage. It reads as follows: “When writing a first draft I have to remind myself constantly that I’m only shovelling sand into a box so later I can build castles.” Until next time, and whilst I shovel sand :-), stay happy and healthy Jenny x.

Progress http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/progress/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/progress/#respond Sun, 07 Oct 2018 09:54:24 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=115 Continue reading Progress ]]> Hi everyone Wow….. my last post was at the end of July!! I double checked to make sure that was correct and sadly it is. Apologies for being so slack but it certainly doesn’t feel like months since I last sat updating you. How time is flying. From a progress perspective on my writing of “Love Happiness” it is with much frustration and sadness that I report that I haven’t written/typed a single word. I can’t fluff it and say it’s going slow because the truth is, it isn’t going at all. I did, however, meet with someone on Friday who put a few things into perspective for me and I am resolved to try harder on writing every day and revert back to my web designer and get my new website off the ground and launched. I’m sure you’re all bored of hearing the same thing over and over but bear with me, I will gain momentum again. For those of you on facebook, I will be posting snippets of “Family Heartbreak” from time to time. At the present time this book is with the editors of the publishing company, so please exercise patience with me as I eagerly await its launch. Until next time, stay happy and healthy. Jenny x

Where have you been Jenny? http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/where-have-you-been-jenny/ http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/where-have-you-been-jenny/#respond Tue, 26 Jun 2018 09:52:59 +0000 http://jennyphillipsbooks.com/?p=113 Continue reading Where have you been Jenny? ]]> As I sit here on a wet park bench (yes it really is), taking in the warmth of the sun on this beautiful winters morning, I find myself inclined to not follow conformity and steer this “thought” in a different direction. In life and certainly as a new author there are guidelines for what we should or shouldn’t do and when we should or shouldn’t do it. Guidelines, timelines, advice and rules for everything!! “Follow the rules and you will have success” we’re told. I prefer “everything happens when it’s supposed too?” My inability to stay on track with my writing has left me feeling guilty and inadequate. Daily I set myself a goal that I will pick it up, but daily I fail, as my attention is diverted elsewhere. Yes, yes, I know. The only one who can control this is me. Recently my life has taken a new direction which sees me regularly away from home but this in itself has afforded me the opportunity to visit some spectacular places this beautiful Country has to offer. I’m confident that my current “out of control”
