#49 Daily Writing Journal: 2019 Blog Schedule, my urban lit African American romance - Leyton and Angelica Progress!

 2019 Blog Schedule!


I did it. I made a rough schedule. It's not pretty like in a planner with nice washi tape but I did it! So this is what I'm proposing.  Note there was a bit of time lag with most posts, because it had my timezone as Pacific Standard Time. I do GMT - so that has been corrected.  

Regulars

Monday - show me your desk!
This is where I show you my desk and describe or give information on one thing. It might even inspire me to keep a clean desk policy. 

Wednesday Film, Movie 0r Boxset Night
Any movie - DVD, cinema, on demand, new or old stuff. This is where I write about a movie  or box I  recently watched. 

Saturday - My London Hood
This just forces me go out and take a picture of the magical city that is London. So it will be random. Very random. I'm not promising.

Sunday - Novel editing progress update
This is when I get the new lessons delivered so I'd be doing this. I'm still going to be doing this when I can but this will be the main topic. 

Features 

Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

These days will have  either randomly challenges prompts I picked up on the pinterest or on the internet. They aren't in date but they will do as a starting point. To be fair most of them are similar.

30 days of me challenge - not sure what month...I was thinking March but that can be busy.

One month creative challenge. 

What missing? BOOKS!

No books..yes, I haven't got a book challenge set up. I guess I could clear out my Kindle and bookshelf of un-reads books. I do read but I post my reviews on Goodreads. But I guess I could always post a review once I'm done with a book. No harm.

Other considerations & takeaways From blog planning 

Planning a blog is hard work so I'm impressed with all those who do it and STICK to it. My main takeaways from the process

Blog design
I'm actutely aware that my blog may need a redesign to help with displaying blog posts. I do like the old fashion blog design but it seem clunky. I do have in mind a format but I can't get distracted thinking about this now. I did try the old designs but the picture widths are too large. Don't know. I need to rethink this but not just now.

Clean up categories 
This will take awhile. 

Blog Timing & time zone
It was down as Pacific Standard Time but I've corrected that.

I'll post a clean version of the schedule when I get round to it.

When do I start? Well Tomorrow is as good as any day

I've made some progress though I don't think I've caught up on lost time. I need a little bit more conflict and it's kinda of slow. The pace is very slow and pedestrian for now.

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...
