In a life of a Writer/Always on the go/Dealing with Bad luck/Trains being delayed

Hello and welcome to a new blog. It has been a while but I have been posting daily blogs, please check these out: https://mydailythougthsandfeelings.blogspot.com/

In a life of a writer is not doing the same things over and over again, as this is boring, but doing different things, like reading books written by other people, working on writing as I travel back and forwards, and going out and grabbing a coffee on the go. I always make sure I have a notebook to hand and love coming up with book ideas and going through my blogs and today I got some really good feedback and go 1000 likes on my blog: everyonecanbuildacastle.com

It is so rewarding to see my work being liked by people that I haven't met but wish I could and hug them all. Life is about building upon on what you already have in your life that is good and getting through the bad. This morning the trains were delayed and when this happens, it makes you think "What should I do now?" "Should I stay put or should I go and get a bus or see if there is a taxi" and felt stranded. Yet it all worked out. 

I hate being late and today I had an appointment and thankfully get there on time but when you get bad luck it makes me think "What else is next?", "What else can go wrong?" and "What if this continues the trains being delayed?". Thankfully I can get the bus and will be doing this for the rest of the week, just in case the trains continue to be a nightmare. 

So as a writer you often have to take your tools with you, and work on the go, doing the school run and getting from A to B can be hard work but you do it, as delays will always be there and scheduling is the key and being prepared of delays and bad luck. 

I take with me, 

  • A pencil case 
  • Small notebook
  • A4 Notebook 
And going to take my open dated diary with me too, and spend time whilst I wait for my son to return  from school and after he is picked up, do some writing, and take time to sit in a coffee shop and write. 

Many thanks for reading, 

Carrie X

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.
