Hello! This blog is about Habits of a writer and how I keep my writing current and evolving.  New Book Mum&Me my other Paper back version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096TL8TBR So, the first Habit: I always have good morning routine,                       because I find that is when I have lots of ideas, I'm awake and it just sets me up for the day.                      I will usually work whilst I am having a good breakfast, and the one breakfast I have which is filling, is Porridge, and with that a                     cup of tea. Then I will have two coffees and then an Iced coffee.  The second Habit I follow: I get up at a reasonable hour and early .                      This has helped me to get in an early morning wal...

So how I operate when I am writing. I break it up into chunks and then spend time working indoors and then walking. I will watch a bit of TV and go through content from my other my notepads that I haven't got around to writing or filming, hense this blog.  As a writer I like to share my daily routines, and for me I have to have a cup of tea, x2 coffees hot and then my Iced coffee, which is what I was drinking as I began this blog, had some lunch, dinner and have can of coke, diet and now I am having a milkshake. I try to eat away from the computer now and take a proper break from writing and filming, by watching some TV and I do have my medication to take and come back to writing my blogs and working on my current books. I uploaded my first book of Mum&Me and now started writing the next one, ready for next year, and so when they go live on Kindle and paperback I will let you know.  Here is a link to the Kindle version that has now gone live, see link below: https://www.am...

Hello and welcome! So it has been a while since I got back to filming A get ready with me. You do have to allow your skin to breath and it does me a world of good when I do.This was filmed on Tuesday and it is just a simple look, yet still helps me to feel good about myself. So, enjoy, and any comments you have leave then below as I do encourage feedback.  Many thanks, Carrie X 

Rather than doing the same thing time after time, it is good to mix it up and not make each day repetative because this can stir us in not wanting to do anything, so we have to do stop that. Write down a daily goal The one thing out of your to dos, what do you want to accomplish? Write it down, and then workout how you are going to accomplish it.  Do a step by step break down but just pick that one item for each day. Work outdoors I love doing this and so tomorrow I am going to try and finish my book to do a review, and read the magazine I bought, as I don't read them all of time, but now and then. I love having a cup of coffee and read my book. So try get outdoors and work. I am gonna to venture up London again, but once it is certain that we can.  Take a shower or a bath even to chill and freshen up So important to freshen up, and because I have a youtube video it helps me to stay freshened and helps kick start my day. I do splurge on shower gels and body sprays, but this is...

It so good to get outdoors and enjoy the freshair. It has been missed since Lockdown but now I want to go for a walk each day, and eventually work outside. The one area I need to work on is financial but I am getting that done too. I have had a splurge and had a declutter and do feel good for it. Gonna see if I can sell some of it. There are some new clothes I want to try on, but happy with what I purchased and won't need anything else until next year.  I still need to go through my clothes from where I lived in Epsom but that shouldn't take long. I would recommend at the beginning of each season to go through your clothes to put my winter wardrobe in a bag or storage container until it is time to wear it again. Doing this does inspire me to write and share this with the rest of the world. I like sharing my experiences and days, even if many things go wrong, and doing seasonal clean ups. So the next declutter I have I will film and add,. I like having a functional desk where I ...

As a writer it is important to set goals for yourself, it helps keep tabs on your writing and keep the momentum up, that gives you energy to write.Its alright to have writing block at times as it telling you need to come away, take some notes to carry on your writing. Jotting things that spring into your mind and doing other things that gives you the passion to continue is important as a writer. It is good to set targets for yourself, to help get work finished and edited, to then move onto the next project. You should always have a functional space to write and if there is a quiet room in your house where you can do writing without being disturbed by anyone.  I go by page to page when it comes to goal setting, how many pages to write each day. Some writers go on word count, but for me is going from page to page, and chapters.  With books it is Quality over Quantity and what type of writing you like to do. If it is a book then it should flow off from the page, and every section...
