#44 Daily Writing Journal -Still in bed and feeling worse off from cold ymptoms. Writerly Goals for 2019. Taking a Break from Blogging until I'm better.

Still in bed and feeling worse off and frustrated from the nagging cold symptoms.

I feel terrible for the third day running. Normally I can shake off these colds or flu or whatever.This is the worse ever. I totally understand why the elderly and very young get flu jabs. I need to take more care of myself - I mean in terms of my dieting - not weight loss more what I eat. And other things. This has been a horrible experience.

Normally I tank myself up with a fresh ginger concoction or hot lemon and honey but nothing has worked this time around.

Writerly Goals for 2019.

Yes, I'm a month off should have done this in January, or who knows I may have touched on it before. If I have it's changed or being reviewed. I don' really plan these posts so it's however I'm feeling on the day or what I want to talk about. Anyway my goals.

Publish two stories either in novel/novella form
Write a spin off short story to two books - the first from Another Chance, second is a spin off from Leyton & Angelica (working title).

Non- Writerly Goals for 2019.

With his horrible cold and still being in bed, given it's my third cold in three consecutive weeks, all escalating in seriousness, my main focus is keeping well. Normally I have goals like jobs, career, etc but this year, I need to tighten up on self-care and my surroundings. A lot of my time has been focusing on external things but I need to pull back from that.

Taking a Break from blogging until I'm better

Probably for the best, though it's hard to do when I've started this routine. Oh well, as I said self-care is my focus for this year. Not that anything interesting happens anyway.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines. Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one. A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor. Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

March Update: Photoshop Composting, Writing, Meal Plan, My first trip out of my area.

This is one of the composites, I created in one of the courses. This was based on graphic design and I feel like an island floating in a new landscape. It is a composite of three images with a bit of blending. This was from a boo Photoshop Composting I'm still finding my way with this, so I have the technical skills which I realise it a matter of masks and blending modes however the next thing is to keep on doing it until I learn the principles of graphic design. It's complicated to explain and I'm still finding my way but basically at some point I need to start doing my own stuff, and right now those images look a bit awkward until I get the design aspect right. It can be fun but also some aspects can be tedious and boring. And I guess it's a matter of keep on practice, and I also want to get to the point, I can use my own pictures. Writing Going well and steady, nothing significant to report on that front. But I'm looking at a soft deadline of completing...
