The Cosy Days of Autumn

I do like to write in the Autumn with a cozy jumper, a cup of tea and the heating on as it can get cold indoors. I find it hard getting things done when I am cold. Watching other writers on Youtube many have  candles lit and their favourite writing clothes. I love being in my PJ's and writing, mainly in the evenings . When I do some walking I like coming back, had a Earl Grey tea and write.



I like to take a break when it is lunchtime and at dinner time. I am not always a lunch person, but when I do it is comforting meals, like hot sandwiches or soup and a roll. 

Listening to slow and chill out music sometimes when writing a blog or working on a book. Having a baked good. This is not all the time, in a coffee shop and I have a scribble book and to jot down ideas as I do have three youtube channels and 13 blog sites. Please check out these links where I post them: http://www.pinterest.com/typicalLondongal.com

I also post on Instagram, X and Facebook:

 It is good to have a hot chocolate too if not a cup of tea and coffee. I like to watch TV and watching Dramas. The programmes I have been loving as I write comedy, Motherland and Amandaland on BBC and the Drama currently, because I am working on a Thriller, is Keep the Faith. 

I read a lot especially in the Autumn and it just gives me so much joy and not worry about the days getting darker and focus on the good, rather than the bad. 

I am doing a Winter Wellness Programme, check my blog site https://www.everyonecanbuildacastle.com starting on the 3rd November until the end of January 2026. Check out my Pinterest of my Winter Wellness Programme 2024: https://uk.pinterest.com/thetypicalLondongal/winter-wellness-2024/

So lets enjoy the winter and those Cozy Days and if you know of someone alone, then why not ask pay them a visit, so they can be Cozy too as there are many people frightened in putting their heating on and want some hot food and company.

Many thanks for reading,


Carrie X

Writing in the summer school holidays

Image
When it comes to children they become the priority especially when if they are in school are full of energy and have 6 weeks off, so how can you fit in some writing?  Yes you can plan ahead, but life as a mum can be unpredictable and so it is more prepping. So go through your schedule and mark out the blocks of time that you have free and if a friend or family can help you, take them up on it. Of course we don't all have that luxury, so just when you have a spare time and have a notepad near by you to help with writing and print off your manuscript, if it makes it easier, in fact Dawn French writes with pen and paper still. There are holiday clubs, and the one my son goes to have been a godsend. They are called Youngstars and have catered to my son who has ADHD and development delay so it has been brilliant and they do offer early bird discounts, and just to say, I am not sponsored but Henry loves going.  I negotiate with my husband and when he can look after Henry so I get so...

Getting in the mood to write

Image
Today after not working on it for a while came started continue writing my second book of a series I am creating, ( Mum&Me ) and it was while I was watching a travel vlog that gave me the idea to continue writing the story.  Today outside Pauls in Wimbledon with current book I am reading It is so surprising how ideas are formed and when you aren't thinking about it, it comes. I like to change my environment and work in a coffee shop, brainstorming and visioning the scenes, the dialog and if I feel good about it.  Is the book going as you want it to?  I am writing a book called Behind the Eyes of the Other Woman and it started off good, but not gone the way I wanted it to, but going to break it up and add bits and just get the idea out on the page and print off and rather than typing up I am going to write the entire first draft in ink. To also get in the mood of writing is by watching Writing vlogs and listen to writers who have made success and learn tips from them, ...
