Froomes, you’ve gone and done it again. I’m super stoked about you writing this book. Firstly as a recovering binge-eater myself, I’m in desperate need to connect with truthful stories of (questionable) functioning women I admire online. I know it will be very healing to read your inner thoughts and generous words of the wrestle with self. Thanks for being brave enough to do it in a world where it’s okay to hide it away instead of teaching others “it’s ok, it’s part of life”.
Secondly, I don’t want to read about eating / body positivity from the usual ‘Karen-has-made-it-online’. I want you… well, the fresh faced, delicious and often inappropriate, smut infused writing style that makes me LOL at my screen (whilst reading your newsletter). Thats my wish, to not take all that’s so hidden, so seriously. Heal it with a LOL 😜 (book title sorted!?). From this blog, I sense I’ll get what I’ve been looking for.
Hey Froomes, this helps me get a little bit more inspired towards a novel. Thanks.
I write for several tech journals and have a monthly column in one that I get free reign over. Every time I think about turning these skills into a novel, I get nothing. Nadda. Jack shit. I can smash out a pithy 1000-word article in no time but the 'big book' idea is eternally blank. Perhaps writing about myself (the bit I enjoy most about my column) could be the winner. Unfortunately, my online audience is a little too little, so don't yet see any publishers hounding me for a deal.
Word Hippo for synonyms / antonyms / etc beats Google for me. Also, I use M$Word's 'Read Aloud' function for final edits. Best done with eyes closed so there's no temptation to read along (and miss the mistakes that you can easily hear).
Loved this post and thank you for sharing. Started out reading this on my couch with my morning coffee before my toddler wakes up (sacred time) thinking:
1) I’ll just read the first 200 words of this quickly, then:
2) Oh cool she wrote a book. I won’t read it but good on her, to:
3) Fuck she’s written something I can relate to and want to read; when’s it coming out?
You continue to surprise. impress and inspire. Love it.

Good luck! I’m in. Pre-order button?
Em - your smut enthralled fan 🪭
