Love Having The Mornings To My Self

It is a Saturday morning and this is my third blog I have drafted, read my book which I do every morning. Had breakfast. A piece of my step dad's banana bread and a shower. Along with two cups of tea (one to be drank) and it has been glorious. 


I don't always get the chance, but when I do I make the most of it. I have even edited some of my next book. This is a long waiting project. It is a new Parenting book and soon I am sure we will be going out for a coffee (Son, I and husband) and then Henry has tennis and then we are off to celebrate my nieces birthday. 

If only it is once a month I am going to do this more and enjoy every moment when I do.

I like to have a flat white at the moment, but in the autumn I tend to stop in more and so will have a Latte, hot chocolate, tea or instant coffee. I have to at least have one cup of coffee with water too. 

It is good not to wake up early, but I always do and I now don't mind because I get so much out of the day. I like being alive now and having some mornings where my son and husband are in bed. It is bliss and can just be free for four or so hours and then I am ready for the rest of the day. 

I slept well. I am currently reading, Knife Skills for Beginners by Orlando Murrin and enjoying it. 

There was a time as a young girl where I'd would go to dance school. I started off doing tap and ballet and then later on up to my teens, did ballroom, Latin and Disco dancing and was a long part of my life and then working I was a steward at Fulham Football club, meet with friends. I'd spend Saturday with my grandparents after dancing and then I got into rugby. Most of their games would be on a Sunday but we were always doing something and I love the weekend.

So if you get a free morning enjoy. 

Many thanks for reading,

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

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

Image
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...
