Missed a day.

I was thinking in circles. How does one think in circles? I don't really know. The good thing was I made moimoi a Yoruba steamed bean pudding. It may help in my obesity drive. I hope so, however it was very rich.

Actually a few blast from the pasts came up in my present. Good thing? Not so sure. We'll see. Also sometimes we judged on one aspect of our lives. Our whole existence can be measured up by one thing and not achieving it makes one feel a failure. No matter what a person does, it doesn't matter. People are so read to tell you that it's wrong or do this or do that. But not really help. Talk is cheap. Talk is I'm better than you. Talk is a measuring stick. Talk can piss on your parade, so better have an umberella. Yeah, we all get down at times.

So enough people to say you are wrong, it doesn't have to be direct. But you feel it. Everything a person does is wrong. Wrong. Even breathing is wrong. You don't breath right. You should sleep more, you should this or that. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Solution. Tough up but it's hard to live in a world where a person is alway wrong. wrong. wrong. Never right. No way. That is too much. Just wrong.

Working on some report for submission - it's harder than I thought it would be. Didn't go to the gym. So what exactly did I do? Well I'm not sure since the days just go past. I went to the library, did some work then came home.

Watched Core the movie, well some of it. Trying to edit my novel which I'm going to start all over again. Ah and also doing tips for NaNoWri. Why not. Get some hits.

Don't complain, don't explain, don't let others piss on your parade.

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...
