Hello! This blog is about Habits of a writer and how I keep my writing current and evolving.  New Book Mum&Me my other Paper back version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096TL8TBR So, the first Habit: I always have good morning routine,                       because I find that is when I have lots of ideas, I'm awake and it just sets me up for the day.                      I will usually work whilst I am having a good breakfast, and the one breakfast I have which is filling, is Porridge, and with that a                     cup of tea.

So how I operate when I am writing. I break it up into chunks and then spend time working indoors and then walking. I will watch a bit of TV and go through content from my other my notepads that I haven't got around to writing or filming, hense this blog.  As a writer I like to share my daily routines, and for me I have to have a cup of tea, x2 coffees hot and then my Iced coffee, which is what I was drinking as I began this blog, had some lunch, dinner and have can of coke, diet and now I am having a milkshake. I try to eat away from the computer now and take a proper break from writing and filming, by watching some TV and I do have my medication to take and come back to writing my blogs and working on my current books. I uploaded my first book of Mum&Me and now started writing the next one, ready for next year, and so when they go live on Kindle and paperback I will let you know.  Here is a link to the Kindle version that has now gone live, see link below: https://www.am...
