Tired and ate a leek and stilton cheese pastie.

Another day. Another irrevelant cartoon but I have this app called Brushstoke and it gives this filter.

Wore my winter coat and ended up sweating on the tube. Despite the foggy mornings the weather is mild and I look a bit silly all wrapped up.

Got to work tired. On time. Well on the dot. Lots of emails back and forth. Not much to tell. Normal work stuff. Had lunch. A pastie - which is like a pie. Well it was leek and stilton pastie with lots of salad. Ate with my colleagues then went back to work. Didn't have dessert.

My ipad keeps on giving me a storage full warning which means I'll need to start deleting pictures. I guess I could do that. Anyway, I'm feeling tired and lathergic so a colleague suggested I needed somewhere hot and away. I'm thinking Spain. Yeah that would be good, but when? Got Christmas booked off. Yeah, had to rush in there. The whole week off.

Back to my day. Left work and walked to the station. I often walk to the station instead of taking the bus, I feel I'm contributing to the obesity drive. Nah, it doen't work because I end up with sore feet. However at times it can work off my nervous energy.

Got off three stops before home and went to Marks and Spencer. They are re-branding to call the food stores - foodhall. A bit like Harrods. These supermarkets! Got more than I should. I just love the cranberry and pecan nut loaf. Yeah, I ate it. I shouldn't have bought it but I did. Obesity drives goes out of the window.

Took the bus home, looked up some information somebody sent. Now I'm so tired. I need to find out why? I think it's the changing clocks and also instead of going back to bed when I wake early I just keep awake and finds things to do.

Putting yourself first. I've not really done that. I need to start. It's hard. Well. That's all I have for today.

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...
