Hey Blysse, at first I only told my partner, then a couple of friends. I found it best to keep it quiet except for other writers, who have similarly bared their souls.

I have been to a conference- other people in the same trade- and it was very freeing to be Posy for a whole weekend. Now my nearest family know, but it goes no further than that because I want to be able to write with no inhibitions.

When something good has happened, it is a shame not to be able to brag a little bit, but I have my writer friends for that - we share our successes.
