Hopes and Doubts — The Diary of a Debut

My first book, Before I Go to Sleep, first came out in April 2011. I’d completely forgotten that in the January of that year I started keeping a journal to chronicle things as they happened.

My entries were sporadic, and some intensely personal. I’ve tried to edit it as little as possible, however.

To allow this project to continue, please consider supporting my work by becoming a paying subscriber. You’ll get all my posts, and access to the entire archive. I try to provide good value, and though there’s something for everyone, the juice is below the line.

I RECOGNISE TIMES ARE HARD, THEREFORE FOR A LIMITED TIME, YOU CAN PAY AS LITTLE AS YOU CAN AFFORD
