Description
Diane Wordsworth was struggling to get back into the swing of being a full-time freelance writer. She'd done it very well in the past, thank you very much. But years of editing books for various publishers had taken her out of the discipline of the freelance writing world and she needed to get back in. When she met her future husband in 2013, he very quickly encouraged her to gradually do more of her own work while he supported her as best he could. This is Diane's account of that first year as she tried to get back onto the writing ladder. It was written as part of her blog, Tales From Baggins Bottom. But this anthology includes 165 practical writing exercises not previously published.
