Haha! It’s about the only thing in my life at which I’m organised - the rest is a chaotic mess 😂 I also keep a record of everything I’ve written, by date (which I find motivates me), which I may share sometime - my agent says I’m very prolific, but I’m sure I saw Karl Newson post aaaages ago on Twitter the number of texts he’d written that year, and it put me to shame/gave me a kick up the bum! A lot of my texts are utter rubbish though, Naomi! Don’t forget that…. 😅
Love this Simon, I'm hugely interested in the numbers - I feel like other people are on submission every other month with a new batch of texts and my output is... dramatically less!!!
Ah, thanks Katie, I’m glad. Lots more to come (although I’m wary the format/subject matter might get a bit repetitive/boring after a while?!). You must remember that those other people are probably not also running a bookshop! And at least with NOT being on sub all the time you’re spared the anguish 😅
Wow. I don't know if I'm more impressed with how many texts you've written or the records you've kept. I wish I was this organised!

I’m really, really sure they aren’t rubbish!

I would love to have the rudest book ever on my shelf 😂
Would also love to read it to little ones and discuss what they think our rude words ! (Can you imagine?)
This was a great insight thank you sooo much, makes me feel a bit more positive about my submission rejections and responses ! Xxx
My pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it Victoria 😊 I must admit I am also a little sad that The Rudest Book Ever is not yet a book - if only!
