I'm writing this with a glass of wine, watching Strictly and eating chocolate coated raisins.  

Yes, another crazy Saturday night in the Heppell household.  

I’m also feeling reflective.

If you watch Strictly (or if you’ve ever seen it) you, like me, must have thought, ‘Wow haven’t they improved!’

I’ve already said it a few times tonight.  

But over the last couple of weeks I’ve said it dozens of times about you. You and your amazing Write That Book Challenge friends.  

People, who just a couple of weeks ago, were scared to share their intro, who went on to; choose a book title, post a para, design a cover, as well as helping and supporting others.  
 

Apologies for this obvious cliché, but; I’ve laughed and I’ve cried.  

But most of all I’ve made 400+ new friends.  

And in this marvellous virtual world, we can stay connected online too.

After Tonight

When the pop-up is hibernated tonight at midnight, I’d like to stay in touch via my main Facebook Group How to Be Brilliant. It really is the beacon of positivity. And don’t we need a bit of that right now?

Masterclass Members 
For those of you who have joined Masterclass, onboarding starts tomorrow. This is like your first week at Uni, without the fresher’s parties (they come later). You will be sent information each day, to make sure you have completed everything that is necessary.

I’m thrilled with how many of you have taken the plunge and joined what will be my last ever Masterclass. And when I say last ever, I'm 100% sure it will be.  

Alnwick Story Fest 
Lots of you are asking about Alnwick, where I'm launching Write That Book the book and delivering the keynote on February 25th. I’m going to send a special email about this event early next week. It’s open to all of you and I’d love to meet with as many of you as possible.

Finally, I’d like to say thank you.  

Thank you for all your amazing posts and comments. We’ve had: 2,436 posts! 61,553 comments!! And 90,633 reactions!!!

Thank you to the brilliant Admin team; Sarah, Vic, Matt, Ian and Roger.  

And thank you for putting your trust in me.

It’s been a blast.  

Now...
