Yesterday I received my final report from my mentor with The Literary Consultancy. I can’t believe I’ve written 60,000 words.
In October I’m back in London for my ‘Industry Day’ which is where mentees get to meet and learn about publishing from agents and publishers. (I booked my hotel today for my London stay, where I intend to write, go to the theatre and eat veggie food.)
The final part of the mentoring is that one of TLC’s readers critiques the whole work.
My next step, then, is to put down the knitting and get back to the writing.

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

I trust it was a useful, constructive report? Do you feel ready to 'fly solo' with the remaining words?
Sounds fabulous.
I told you before not to be sidetracked by knitting. Wow 60k I really do need to pull out all the stops if I want to keep up with you. Now where is my pen and notebook?
Seriously though it all sounds brilliant.
Step away from the needles!
Hope the report was useful and inspiring x x
The London stay sounds fabulous! I hope the report was helpful. Back away from the needles slowly and pick up that pen. You'll be done before you know it! ;)

Yay well done on the 60,000!
Ooh, I hope it was a good report! 60,000 words is great - now step away from the knitting and finish!
That, my dear, is bloomin brilliant!!!
I am so proud of you!!

And I keep on telling you that 60 thousand is over half done so you don't have much left before you've cracked it!
When are you coming to London? x
Well done - go on, tell us what it said!
Wow, you can soooo do the rest... how exciting! Cheering you on... go JJ, go JJ!
Queenie, it was, thanks and yes, I do. Big progress for me.

Sheepish, tee hee. The knitting habit has to be watched... carefully.
