It feels almost as if I’ve neglected this blog even though I sign in to my WordPress dashboard every day. Life has been okay – lots of ups and downs, as per usual. Mostly though, I’ve been trying my hardest to focus on the positive, even when I’m having a bad day. If I want to have a good day, I have to turn it around myself – achieve little things because they take me one step closer to where I want to be each day. So, I wrote the start of my novel. It was hard but surprisingly natural after I wrote the first couple of paragraphs. It will be interesting to see where this takes me and what sort of book it will turn out to be. I know it won’t be easy, so I’m going to make sure I write an outline in the next few weeks and then I’ll be able to break it down into more manageable chunks. Goals are important so I’m aiming for the beginning of next year for a first draft – who knows, it could even be less than that depending on my progress!
Anyway, in lieu of anything much to write about (its late and my brain has turned to mush…), I’ll just leave you with some pictures of the past few days…
