Editing still not happening in the novel and my guilty pleasures

So I'm still not editing because I get the story together however I've decided to take a break and then focus on sentences. So I've had a huge moan about what I writing but now I'm going to focus on writing exercises. So I'm going to practise sentences. Maybe by doing this sometime magical will happen.

I also lost my phone in at college but someone found it and handed it in.

Editing not happening

I'm taking a break here. I'll just focus on the National Novel Writing Month.

My Guilty Pleasures

Well not I'll need to rate them in terms of shame and guilt and indifference.

Waitrose Pea and Wiltshire Cured Ham Soup.

Well not so much guilty but it's rather price at £1.99 but it's very tasty. I'm rather price sensitive so I discovered it when a batch of it was reduced. I tried to recreate it at home but then just decided it better to get from Waitrose.

There is also Tesco's Finest Pea and Ham soup but that tastes a bit too artificial and sweet so I only buy that on special offer. But for full price splurge I'll buy the waitrose one.

The Sunday Coronation Street Omnibus

Calorie free but costly time wise. It's the great way to spend lazy Sundays morning. Then I catch up Saturday X Factor

Basketball Wives and the Love & Hip Hop Franchise (New York and Atlanta)

Now this is a massive one. Sometimes I question why I watch it but the show keeps on giving. I guess because the characters are not real to me even though it's a reality show however I'm starting to rethink how I blog about it. Take Tara Wallace she is pretty cool, nice and engages everyone on Twitter. The same with Tasha Marbury.

The moment these women engage by answering a tweet they suddenly transform into real people. Tara Wallace is intelligent, witty and beautiful. She has a great sense of humour and will engage with most people on Twitter. She is unpretentious - suddenly she becomes real.

Tash Marbury is also cool in real life and will answer questions on twitter. Hard ones, too. Suddenly she becomes a real person.

Breakfast Cereals

Most types with lots of added sugar - Cheerios, Sugar Puffs, Granola, Honey Nut cornflakes. Anything with sugar.

Had coffee with a fellow writer, went to an exhibition on West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song at the British Library.

There was a massive Disney Christmas tree at St Pancras Station. I thought I'd start with that picture. Implemented Accounting Guru Genius (AGG) method this morning. I mentioned yesterdays she showed me her way of planning. Well it's kinda like project management critical path and working back but in AGG's way. Well the results where what I sort of knew but it's official. I do too much. I've got so much on that I have make very slow progress with anything then end up procrastinating. So I really need to learn and get this planning and time management method under my belt. The only reason is that it's kinda the only thing I actually got. When AGG first did it, I was amazed. It was so impressive. I kinda forgot about it but it's coming up to the end of the year, and I've made great progress with some goals and projects but others are still hanging. Anyway after putting in all my hours I realised I only had a certain amount of free time. Not a...

The Scale (Martha's Way 1) by Mika Jolie

This is one of the of the best romances I've read in a LONG TIME. I loved it! It's brilliant and even writing a review will not give it justice, but I'll try. Just get it because it's that good, positive and uplifting with a good ending. It’s also funny at times. About the story Most women (or me) can all relate to Minka, the main female character, who like most of us, defines herself by her flaws/issues - a few pounds overweight, insecurity about her body, confidence issues (which thanks goodness doesn't stop her from jumping into bed with Jason) and loves her glass of wine with a nice dessert, and likes to feel sorry for herself at times. And she is supposedly in love with an old college crush - the one she thinks that got away (you’ll need to read the book for more details). So we can all relate to her in one way or another, including her stubbornness in clinging to those issues and using them as an excuse not to get on with her life or even make the way...

Problems with revising my novel and adopting the Chuck Wendig Plan of how to revise your novel.

So I'm still struggling with editing my novel. I took some time out to have a break doing other things. One of them was moaning about editing on this blog and other was looking at ways to tell the story. Now I realise the problem with my story is I have nothing to say. It's as simple as that. I don't really have anything to say give I've completed a novel. To write something you must have something to say - well I don't really. So there lies the problem. You can only revise and edit something if you have an aim in mind. All I want is just to complete the novel which I have. So maybe now I just have to figure what the novel is about. So I discovered Chuck Wendig a novelist and games designer ( Terrible Minds blog ) who swears like a trooper in his blog however has given freely valid and great advice on how to edit a novel. His post called How To Karate Your Novel And Edit That Motherfucker Hard: A No-Foolin’ Fix-That-Shit Editing Plan To Finish The Goddamn Jo...
