True living of a true writer

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:

Today I started my new kids book that I want to write and so I do set myself regular targets for my blogs and books, and for my Youtube channel too. 

I am hoping to do some courses referred to me by my Social Worker, via Mind.org and so looking to expand my knowledge and build my career as a Mentor to others along with my blogs and books, together with my Youtube channels. 

So I am forever expanding and build my life up as I do with my writing and its forever evolving. 

Many thanks for reading,

Finding the time to write

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
