Last Days of Summer

Posted on September 6, 2020October 5, 2020 by ann

It’s my favorite time of year, when the mornings are crisp and the pumpkin spice comes barrelling in Kool-Aid Man style. I have been very neglectful of my blog, because I found writing under a NDA made it a bit difficult to know what I could share and what was Top Secret. So, I have decided to share a few tidbits about another project I’m working on, that I am going to indie publish hopefully in early 2021.

This project is full of tropes, and all my favorites: it’s a forced-proximity secret-identity rockstar vacation romcom. 🙂 It takes place in Canada, Sweden, and Japan, and will be a bit of a madcap adventure. I’m about a third of the way done, and am excited to bring this story to you. Thanks for stopping by! Mwah! <3

Exciting news!

I have been sitting on some exciting news! I’ve been invited to work on a project for Penny Reid’s Smartypants Romance! Check the link if you’ve never heard of them–they put out some truly fantastic titles and have a group of amazing authors that I’m beyond honored to work with. 🙂

Back again

Posted on March 1, 2020October 6, 2020 by ann

As I was standing at my sink a few days ago, I felt a familiar slipping sensation in my lower back, and barely made it to the bed. Now, I know bed rest isn’t ideal for a back injury, so I have been getting up and exercising gently, but it leaves me at a bit of a loose end when it comes to working on my book. Sitting up for hours at my laptop station or at my desk upstairs with the PC (my preferred location to work) are both out.

However, with my tablet and Google Drive, I am thankfully getting plenty done from the comfort of my bed or couch, while wrapped in a heating blanket and smothered in anti-inflammatory gel. I’m sure I will look back at this soon and laugh, but for now I’m focussed on keeping up with my writing schedule and not letting this derail me too much.

Ice

Welp, just as I foretold the end of winter, an ice storm descended upon us. This tells me two things: one, I will never be a weather forecaster; and two, this is a perfect day to stay cozy and write until the power goes out. As we live in the woods, we’ve taken out water in preparation, and have the lanterns on standby. I hope wherever you are, your day is going well and you are also cozy and happy.

Keyboard games

Today is a busy writing day: or rather, a day of trying to write while my cats dance over the keyboard. I am getting some editing in and finding inspiration in the beautiful weather. It feels like the worst of winter is behind us 🙂

Welcome

Posted on February 11, 2020February 11, 2020 by ann

Welcome to my fledgling website! Please excuse the sawdust while everything gets sorted. My name is Ann Whynot, and I am an emerging author of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. (What that translates to, is that I am working on a manuscript). I invite you to join me on my journey through the foibles and frustrations, the joy and the Jenga involved in writing my book. Yes, I said Jenga–if you’ve ever played the game and written a novel, you may recognize similar elements between the two.

I will generate content for this site on a haphazard basis, as writing my current novel is my main priority. In the meantime, please feel free to catch up with me on social media or email–I love to talk, and will happily answer back.

Toodles, Ann 🙂
