#28 Daily Writing Journal - my urban lit African American romance - Leyton and Angelica Progress!

 

I feel smiley like this froggie.....

My urban lit African American romance - Leyton and Angelica Progress! 

I've finished the club scene. Yay! Not the best but it's encouraging and delicious and sexy! Now I just have a just 2 more scenes to write before they break into act two. YAY! I'm feeling good! I've just being stuck on this scene for over a month! Most of it has been procrastination and fear of not knowing what was good enough but I've cracked the second draft so I'm HAPPY. Now if you have read my synopsis you'll know she mets a thug in the club. It's a decent length at 2,300 words.

Backstory Short story

I'm also working on a backstory short story. It's do with Leyton but maybe Angelica needs one too. Can't say much because it's a spoiler. Or maybe as bonus material at the end of the book. Not sure. Or I could give it to readers who sign up to my newsletter, before I slap on Amazon. Just a thought.

Tooth Drama

I have a temporary crown and its throbbing like crazy. No I haven' forgotten about my tooth drama.

Daily Writing Journal: Mo Money Challenge - week 8 which means £8 in the tin!

£8 in coins So I'm on my second week on saving and still not sure. I'm not feeling the pinch per se, but it's hard thinking how am I going to maintain this. So I managed to get a few coins out and gather some change, but at some point I'll really need to organise this. I've put in four fifty pence pieces with come up to two pounds sterling and the rest in pound coins.  Remember the money tin from last week. Well it all went inside that.... How am I feeling? Slightly bored but I still have a long way to go..... Saving money is boring, spending is more interesting.

My London Hood - The Tate Modern

Modern Gallery make you think of the world as it is today. I just wandered around the exhibitions in the Tate modern and  seemed focused on oppression of humanity - focusing on the poverty, wars, sexuality, violence, conflict, the underdog and gritty. This was a picture that captured my imagination because it looked so modern. This is a painting by German artist Christian Schad  called Agosta, the Pigeon-Chested Man, and Rasha, the Black Dove 1929 is a large portrait-orientated oil painting of two funfair performers.  https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/schad-agosta-the-pigeon-chested-man-and-rasha-the-black-dove-l02264  So in typically America-speak when I saw my people, I had to stop and take a picture, therefore homegirl, Rasha, the black dove is headlining my blog. In those days, I guess the only work she could get was as side-freak show but she is very beautiful, modernly so. It also made me think of what happened to all the black people or people of colour during Nazi Germ

Review of January 2018 - lost weight, socialised with others, completed my beta-read, doing my courses.

Hello everyone, Just checking in about my goals and life in general. It's all good. What went well. I took in packed lunches for at least four days a week. This was just hummus, sprouts, grated carrot sandwich. So very vegan.  I also cooked dinner a few times a night rather than eating junk food or takeaway. So a lot healthier. I finally have a social life of sorts. In my last job - it was work, home and see family on weekends. I was so drained and tired so this new job has made such a difference, that I can go out and meet people.  So I go out with some drinking mates once a week. It's a nice evening out of the house and away from social media or the internet. It's mostly small talk but its nice. I'm doing my photoshop course. That is coming along nicely, that picture is from one of my practice sessions. I'm doing a couple of writing courses which are intense. What hasn't gone well. I need to focus on having more routines, and breaking tasks
