How I plan my days leading up to Christmas as a writer

So, I feel a bit like "Hang on" is it really coming to that season again? And wish I had a lullipop stick and be a lollipop lady or a man, to says STOP, it driving to fast, and I trying to catch up.

I do love Christmas again, but this time of year I start to plan for next year and skip Christmas, but I can't ignore it as I do have gifts to buy and then there is Christmas Cards, and when it comes to those, I am useless, I never get my Christmas cards out on time. 

I am not sure I will be sending Christmas cards this year, so thinking of doing something different, and send a box with a label saying Merry Christmas and put in some chocolates.

I do have a set of self built boxes so gonna pick some up and be good to use these and still send a Christmas message.

As a writer I do schedule my writing and use the build up to inspire me, and give me ideas of content and do set myself goals for Christmas like next year, I want to have a book telling a Christmas story.

I set time to do my gift guides for my Youtube channel for Christmas and still have time to write content and work on current books.

I love to see a Pantomime and I am off to see a show soon at the end of the month, and start planning my exercise as I will go on a walk on Christmas day and Boxing day, to continue to the following year. 

With COVID I try to ordering gifts online rather than in stores as I like original stuff you can get online compared to in stores. 

So it is a busy time, but I get through it and enjoy it as much as possbile. 

Many thanks for reading,

Getting ready to write in 2024

So it is time to plan my writing and my aim is to complete another book to publish, and then start on another set of books. I have so many ideas, that it is hard to know where to start. I write comedy and serious style books, based on real issues. Check out my books on amazon, under the name Carrie Challoner and Carrie Holmes, along with nonfiction, talking about being a parent and work issues.  Lonely walk to happiness:  https://www.pinterest.co.uk/thetypicalLondongal/sports-and-fitness-coaching/ The Parenting Adventures:  Pregnancy to first nine months:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Parenting-Adventures-first-nine-months-ebook/dp/B00KJJLFME/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Z0R3AVVRIWVY&keywords=Carrie+Challoner+The+Parenting+Adventures&qid=1703489853&sprefix=carrie+challoner+the+parenting+adventures+%2Caps%2C68&sr=8-1 Baby to Toddler years:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Parenting-Adventures-Baby-Toddler-years-ebook/dp/B078KFHXRH/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2Z0R3AVVRIWVY&keywo...

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.
