Sometimes it’s difficult to get your head around a new routine especially where your regular writing time slots have changed or disappeared completely; however, as with any change, it allows you to have a fresh look at things. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before deciding on a new routine: What is the … Continue reading
I apologise for not blogging for a while as all my writing time is going into the rewrite of my book Juggling Life, Kids and You. It’s going well though and I’m pleased with my progress as I’m about half way through! By taking small writing steps each day, things are moving forward a lot … Continue reading
Two months ago I received back the manuscript assessment from Daniel Goldsmith Associates, for my book Juggling Life, Kids and You. If you remember from my post in early October, I was hoping that I wasn’t going to have to make too many changes. I’m pleased to say that results are positive – there’s definitely a market out … Continue reading
I haven’t sat at the computer and just typed for quite a while. I don’t know why this is, because I’ve had loads to write about as I’ve been studying many personal development books on the topics of parenting, clutter and time management and I have enough material but haven’t felt inspired enough to write a … Continue reading

A reader recently commented on that post (thank you) and said that they liked the sound of the word cogitate. Having not used that word before, I looked it up. I agree, it’s quite a … Continue reading
Being a writer, I like to have the time to write. Being a homeowner, I like to live in a tidy, clutter-free house. Getting the balance right is tricky. I used to take a week off to clear the clutter and organise the house, and fitted in my writing around it. Then last year my … Continue reading
…sleeping, working, spending time with the family, relaxing, pottering about the house, exercising, reading, thinking, and the list goes on. Since completing my 366 day writing challenge a few weeks ago, I have had a chance to reflect on the year and think about what the challenge has taught me. I’m a fighter and didn’t want to miss a day! What I have come … Continue reading
It’s been almost three weeks since the final post of My Writing Challenge. I’ll be posting an email later in the week about what life’s been like without the daily blogging, but in the meantime I just wanted to communicate a few changes that I have made to this site: NEW BLOG TITLE – The name that previously appeared at the top of each … Continue reading
