@Sally_writes That’s so impressive to get there! I think unconsciously I use big goals as a distraction from what I’m coping with now. Maybe unconsciously they get linked to the other things we want and when they can’t deliver those it’s tough. Hope the feeling eases

...But now what?? I've finished them and they're in the world (yay!) but I'm still ridiculously poorly (boo!) Obviously I have more books I want to write but yeah... Feeling a little lost with life
English
Wondered why I was feeling a bit lost and I think it's because the last 16 years, my number one goal has been to finish my trilogy. Like I tried to say to myself all the time, it didn't matter I was poorly because finishing my books would be a huge life accomplishment... (1/2)

Thank you @PuffinBooks.

1. Before I became an author I thought I’d never be asked to speak at literary festivals because all the ones I went to didn’t have ramps. Now I’m proud of my collection of ramp photos taken at the venues I’m asked to speak at. 😀 See it to be it! @LondonBookFair @emblabooks

@WriteBiggs @hopefullizzy And I do think it should be general rather than personal and maybe something that can be shared among staff. Nothing that would make them feel uncomfortably pressurized.

@hopefullizzy It should be fine according to GMC rules Lizzy. ‘This states that doctors should not accept ‘an unsolicited gift’ unless it is ‘of minimal value’, defined as gifts such as flowers, fruit, sweets or cake.’
