You’ll remember my friend Jocosa of the Earrings from her
previous guest blog posts. She’s the one, in a fit delirium from all the
excitement at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference (SiWC) a few years
ago, took a vow to not cut her hair until she was published.

| okay peeps, her hair is way longer than this! |
Her hair is long – think Rapunzel, think the 1970s long, her
fingers are nubs from rewriting and she’s not giving up her goal of getting
published or cutting her hair (well she can’t – she made a vow).
In the meantime, she’s started a book review blog. I’ll let her
speak in her own words and introduce it to you:
“My son says self-promotion is The Way of the World. I
thought is was a restoration comedy by William Congreve.
Anyway, after coaching for some 30 odd years, I thought blogging
about the interconnectedness between writing and acting would be a snap. The
format was NOT a good fit. Not really a surprise, I guess. On my journey into
wisdom, I've found what comes natural to us or what we excel at often times is
not where we think or believe we belong, but rather where we thrive
without effort. For me this happens when I write book reviews. In fact, I get
downright giddy whenever I'm composing one.
I'm launching Jocosa's Bookshelf. My ultimate goal is to
write reviews for new and classic books. But first I need to get
through my TBR pile. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for listening. Blue Skies, jocose”
Yeah, she’s kinda hippy like that!
Check out her site – she’s got loads of reviews up and she’s
working on loads more. (while I am slowly working through my to-be-read pile
which reproduces itself … then all
my friend’s book launches!)
Lots of awesome reading ahead! Let Jocosa help you read your way
through it!
