Lazy Sundays Working on Novels.

Did more work on my novel’s plot and household chores. Didn't go to the pub today therefore didn't have eggs, ham and chips. Yes, it helps with the fight against flab. Then again I had apple and raisin buns so I'm not sure.

I’m using some craft books and Writers' & Artists' Guide to How to Write by Harry Bingham to be fairly interesting. I like his angle though he does come over a little preachy and overbearing at times. However it has being enlightening for this stage, however there was a glaring typo on one page. A number instead of a letter.

So I guess I spent most of my morning looking at a plot structure. Then I went for a walk outside to get some fresh air. Nothing really happening. Ended up in Marks and Spencers where I remembered I needed a pair of tights - they don’t tend to last nowadays.

Nipped into Tescos, just because. Come back home to do more work on my novel’s structure. Watched a bit of Fifth Element with Bruce Willis. Those were the days of the Action Hero movies.

Now it’s just franchise after franchise of super heroes. Now I’m watching Centurion with Fassbender who is rumoured to be hung like a donkey. I guess I could watch Homeland or Downton Abbey.
Had a chat with my family. And I guess for a lazy sunday that’s all. Oh yeah, also resolved to cut down my sugar intake.

Anyway, I'm off to work tomorrow so it's an early night from me.

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...

My Father's Tears and Other Stories by John Updike

Great stories and some really touching. Most were very real so it more a study of human nature and how people grew older. He probably wrote these towards the latter part of his life because the average age of the characters mostly male were about 60 odd years old.
