Two people. One chance meeting. Seven days to Christmas.

Isobel Bennett is waiting for the number 11 bus when a man quite literally falls into her lap. Snow is falling, Christmas lights are twinkling, and a gorgeous man with dark brown hair has just slipped on ice and is now pressed against Isobel.

Isobel knows she’s not imagining the chemistry between them. But then his ride arrives and, embarrassed, he beats a hasty retreat, murmuring apologies – and Isobel realises only too late that she didn’t manage to catch his name…

When she runs into him again the next morning, she decides it’s fate.

It’s a second chance for Isobel and Tom – but there’s only one week until she’s leaving London for good. Seven days of enjoying all the festive delights the city has to offer: ice-skating at Somerset House, mulled wine on the Southbank, Christmas shopping at Liberty.

There’s magic in the air and mistletoe in the trees – but what will happen when the week is over?

Midweek check in. How are you all doing? You okay? Midweek check in. How are you all doing? You okay? 

I’ve written every day this week, something I haven’t done in months. I’m not reaching highs I’d hope for myself, but I’m using pacemaker.press (thanks to @rachelbwriter for the rec), and it’s helping to make this a game of bests.

So, 3000 words might not feel like a lot but, so far so good. ⌨️
Happiness and figs, they keep multiplying the more Happiness and figs, they keep multiplying the more you share them 😋.

I’m diving into an afternoon of writing here. Whatever you’re doing, I hope you’re having a happy day 😘.
I didn’t realise until this morning that last we I didn’t realise until this morning that last week was Holocaust Remembrance Week. It feels fitting then, that I read Eddie Jaku’s incredible “The Happiest Man On Earth” yesterday. 

Eddie takes us on a journey from his life in Germany through to the harrows of concentration camps (more than once) and back again, to his new life in Australia. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll shake your head at just how awful humans can be. If you see this book around, grab yourself a copy. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me.
If woo-woo is not for you, look away now. If it is If woo-woo is not for you, look away now. If it is, let’s crack on. 

I’ve had two weeks off, I’ve swallowed books and swum in words. I’ve watched movies until my eyes were square and I fell asleep. 

Now, it’s time to get moving. I’m using my few months “off” to change patterns, tame the brain gremlins, and get my process sorted. It won’t be easy, I know that, but I have to start somewhere.

This morning began with a card pull. Calling in support and jumping in to adventure. I’ve taken advice from writers around me, I’ve made a plan, I just have to ... do it? 

Also, I’m posting this to hold myself accountable because, if I have to come back and give you a word count next week, maybe I’ll get moving.

No matter your monarchist or republican persuasion No matter your monarchist or republican persuasion, the sad fact is a wife has lost her husband, and I think we can all relate to that.
