Exploring the outdoors again/getting stuff done/why it can really helps you with writing

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 have everything I need, and don't have to go searching for things. 

Get out the house and explore, with London there are many places where you can go, and allow your thoughts to wonder. 

Have a good monday

Many thanks for reading,

Finding the time to write

Image
When it comes to writing I do it in batches and this is because of thinking what way the book is going to go and what I need to tie up the story.  In the morning I will go through the blogs I have to write and the videos I need to film and then even if is ten minutes to spare to work on my books then I do.  I do have a diary that I use to plan my writing and specifically on the book I am writing and do sprints, and what I have often done is set a timer. Thank the lord for mobiles phones and android as I have a stop watch on my phone and I live by my mobile.  Right now I am beginning the writing of this blog and it is 6th January at 9:30am and so once this is done then going through what I need to do that is jotted down but to do so I can concentrate on working on my books, and if you need to have a start up in your writing to do it regularly I would say is to have a blog as it is what inspired me or spend time writing notes of ideas to write about with a old fashion pen and paper.

The right environment to get writing

Image
When it comes to writing it is finding the time where you can sit down have a podcast on or some music and go through what you have written and what is left to write. I am currently working on a new book and I find writing in the mornings hard, so have been writing in the afternoon and in the evening.  It is not always possible to write at that time because I go over to wait for my son to return from school, so before I leave to get to his dads house I will do some writing and in the evening.  I can't decide if I am a morning person or a night owl, because I do like to get up early but I find it hard and now the clocks have changed in the UK it is taking me a while to adjust to that time change, but do like the lighter mornings and evenings, so soon I will be able to do some writing in the garden and be good to be outdoors with the sunshine.  Find a good location to write can really make a difference and can really help with ideas for books and reading in the park. Set the scene to

Getting in the mood to write

Being a mum you never know what the week will bring, and so finding time to write can often be tricky. I use the mornings and evenings, because I don't want to be taking my laptop over to where my son lives because I don't like to carry too much.  I schedule and before I begin play some music and watch Youtube on writing and so setting the scene is the first tip I'd give.  With writing I will get spontaneous moments to write and vision myself doing so and develop a story gives me such a buzz and it is like a jigsaw to me and so when I get the urge to write I will make sure I jot it down in that moment and as I go through the story I will use file cards or write it down, and plot and think of different ideas.  Deciding on a time to write can be a challenge, and so planning the week and time can make a difference, and so go through your schedule and use it as me time, and doing sprints like ten minutes a good way to get into the mood and challenge yourself of how much you can
