Musings of a Perfectionist

Hi guys! So, it's five days to go until the very exciting release of my book, 'The Forgotten Ones', and so I'm releasing a small extract from the novel (on Wattpad) for you to read! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you will have (hopefully) seen the cover release, but if not, check out the extract and you'll see the beautiful design. The extract can be found by clicking on  this link , and afterwards, you can pre-order it (if you wish to) on these stores, for their respective devices:  Kobo ,  Barnes and Noble  and  Amazon . It is also being sold in the Apple Book Store. This is exceedingly exciting (hey, look at the beautiful alliteration) so please spread the word and help me advertise. It would be much appreciated! ☺️ Tell me what you think of the extract on Wattpad or here (it may seem a bit weird because it's about half-way through the novel (no spoilers involved though) and nothing really happens- I'm really selling this, aren't...

Hi, guys- excellent news, I have! My novel has been finished completely (i.e. everything has been crossed off my to-do list) and it's ready to be released on the 15th December! That's 15th December , folks! Soon, I'll be releasing an extract on Wattpad, so make sure that you've subscribed to 'Musings of a Perfectionist' to get notified when I publish posts. My dream is finally coming true, although it now feels like publishing a book isn't actually that big of a deal. Is that weird? Oh well. *shrugs* Maybe it will be less underwhelming once I've actually published it (although it won't be published through Amazon because I don't have a TIN (because I'm not American) and I don't have a foreign version of the TIN, but that should be sorted out...hopefully). Anyway, to change the subject completely, I ran a Creative Writing session with four younger people from school the other day. We did some exercises in freeing the mind,...

So, I've only had two days of exams and I'm already completely exhausted. I'm not even that stressed about the actual exams/grades and stuff, it's just that doing exams wiped you out both mentally and emotionally. But Thursday, I'll be a mess. 😢 But that's not for a few days now, and I'm sure that you have some knowledge of how you feel during exam season! It's such fun, isn't it? However, as delightful as this topic is, that's not what I actually wanted to talk about in this post. And the next thing that I'm going to say is not the main topic either (not that I actually say anything- it's you who is reading this in your head, with that weird little voice). Next thing (on the list of things): 'THE FORGOTTEN ONES' WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 25 DAYS! That's Saturday 15th December , by the way. For regular reminders, like my Facebook page (@larahagger) and/or follow my Instagram page (@lara.h258). Make sure that you also s...
