Finding the next idea to write and handling busy days

Hello and welcome! This blog is about Finding the next idea to write and handling busy days.

So I got this idea just as came home from being at my son's home to wait for him to come home from school and it is a lot of travelling but I take a book with me to read, a few notebooks for writing on the go, and have two small ones in my shoulder bag and a bigger one in my tote bag. 

I look around me and think can I write a blog about this? and often it is trying different ideas but not write for the sake of it, but because you feel that your audience may want to know what is going on in your life if they have experienced the same. 

If you want to write a book rather than a blog I would have a blog just to share your book onto and if self publishing use easy affordable platforms such as Amazon. When it comes to EBooks it is free but with paper you do have to pay a printing cost but is no more than £2, and blogging can help form the book idea. 

Lots of TV personalities like Vern Cotton have books and is another way to share who they are and reach out to their audience and you can too. 

Reading different books and I do take a book to read out with me and I try to read about 2-5 pictures a day and audible is a great place for books and good ideas. 

Never copy as then it is not your work, but use it to play around with some ideas. I write a an EBook on Brainstorming which is available on Kindle:

Always always brainstorm and get out of the home and notice what is currently around you. Walking and running can really get in touch with your creattivity and when I would walk to work and would take 1-2 hours I would be full by the end of itdeas that I would find trouble finding where to start first.

Watch TV and listening to music. I wrote the book on amazon called, A Lonely walk to happiness  from watching a programme called Waterloo road and a kid tries to commit suicide being bullied online and so you be surprised at the ideas you will have and now your have a mobile I have a list of books and blog ideas stored on my phone and One note programme on my laptop too of ideas.

I will set my time in segments including breaks and having to meet my son going and coming back from school and so which I ever i am doing a schedule it to make sure that I have downtime to a chance to research for ideas and end the day at a resonable time and waking up too. 

If you would like to share ideas you have and any questions use the comment section below. 

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

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
