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,

Writing on When Kids return to school and best way to schedule your writing

If you to write blog and books, you need that time to yourself, and it is all about routine and flexibility.  When you write is up to you, and doing the school drop off, rather than pick up, will give me a whole day still to write and anything else required.  I will be bringing some writing with me and create a school run travel bag, with bits to do my work and make up bag, to do make up at old home, to be with my son, before he is taken to school. You don't have to do much in terms of writing, ten minutes is still getting it done and remember to always take a notepad and pens with you, so you can write whilst on the go. The school run can be stressful, but once you get used to the routing you find that everything else eventually does fit in.  This week as it is the first of the school, my son's dad has taken him, but next week it will be me there, and the school is not as close as his school he went before, but hopefully the school will provide travel for my son to be th...

Writing during the School Summer Holidays

Image
It is coming up to the last weeks of the School Summer Holidays, and fitting in writing has been not that tricky, but when I haven't written for most of the day, I get itchy fingers.  Being a mum and a writer of blogs and books and setting up online courses and videos too, it has to be on hold and have gotten used to it.  Being a mum I don't mind putting my writing on hold, and I do what I can and use the evenings and if I get up early enough, in the mornings aswell.  This does include planning and settting out time, gettng earlier than usual and using what time I have. I do write myself lists and go through what I would like to write to what I want to get done first. Usually it is writing or finishing off a blog post and then working on my books.  I like to write one comedy, one serious novel and a self help or a biographical type book.  It is fitting around planned activities and events. It is using the weekends when Henry's Dad (my son) is not working, and le...

What Type of Books do I like to read

Image
 Hello, so this is part of my Tea and Biscuits series of videos and so please watch below to listen on the books I like to read.  People often think if you write books you don't neccessarily read them, but I do, its what has made me want to have books published myself and I like writing, and reading has helped me immensley and you can't beat a good book.  If it has all the atributes that connects me with the story in being a true or a fiction book, then it is for me a set winner and my love of books has never washed away. I do take breaks as i do ready books back to back, but then need to have some weeks or months to not read any.  Audible in that respect is good, for listening to books rather than reading them all of the time.  So, if you are sitting the garden why not find a good book, with a cup of coffee and just chill. To me that is what the summer and spring is all about and when I do most of my reading,  Many thanks,  Carrie L.M X
