Doing product reviews and sharing things I love like or maybe even hate!

Hello Everyone,

Blogging has't been the top of my agenda for a long time because I'm at a lost of what to say or write about. Really. I also think my life isn't that interesting and the interesting things that happen to me tend to involve other people so I do feel it's not my place to share those.

However I've been thinking of how I can keep this going and make it interesting. Work has also been super busy as if you're read other blog post you'll realised I'm a chartered associate in a certain profession, I also work in a very small team, and the organisation has a £15 million turnover. It's a medium size but with extremely complex nature so no two days are the same.

My interests

Writing had taken a huge amount of my time because I'm working on my novel however I'm getting back into my non-writing interests and hobbies.  I do a fair bit of street photography on my phone since I like street art and there are some talented artists out there. The first two where taken on the way to work and last one was after a night out.





I also like cooking so I'll probably be sharing some very simple recipes here. I tend to throw things in the pan and see how they come out. I'm not a big ready meal or TV dinners person. The only convenience foods I really eat are breakfast cereals, breads and soups. I like Waitrose soups but I think they have changed the recipes so I've started making my own.

I'm also thinking of doing some Cordon Bleu Classes, so I'll share my experiences with you if I do. I was so excited when I discovered the school.  I've been walking past it for years and years and years and never knew - it's on a shortcut I take so my mind is never on the surrounds just getting to where I'm going. However yesterday, I just happened to look right instead of straight ahead and boom! There it was, so super excite that I may be taking some classes - well, cooking workshops. They are a bit expensive but I'll save and see.

I'll also start to review products - see if it's fun and then continue if it's something to do. I mean anything that crosses mind.

I'm fairly active on istagram and goodreads because I read Harlequin romances - I read three imprints. Goodreads is great place to engage with other readers.  I do this as a reader not writer! I've been reading Mills & Boon as a pre-teen so it's mostly habit, familiarity and I like the stories - the good, the bad and the ugly. It's a bit like watching a favourite soap opera or drama of different encounters.

That's it from me. So a bit of planning etc and maybe it will be back to blogging!

With Best Wishes

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...
