Writing Green

I do try and write green! I try not to print out my writing unless I have to.  I try and use the computer when I write so as not to use too much paper.  I write in the morning because I know my solar panels are working to pay for the electric I am using.

Writers block

Writers block is one that is never far from my thoughts what if...
But when I put a pen in my hand and just start to write ideas start flowing not necessarily what I was thinking I was going to write. It is just a way to get the writing processes working again.

Health and writing

I wonder if my health has improved with writing? My fitness level I know hasn't as I spend too much time sitting down with pen and paper. But my mental fitness I think is better. I try not to let my emotions to get locked up in my brain, fighting to be heard or just wanting to escape. They have a way out through my paper and pen or my keyboard.

Warming up!

What do others do for warming up when it comes to writing? I know that I write my to do list for the session.  I then make notes on each item. This gets me focused and in the mood!

Writing time verses family life

I sometimes wonder how I will fit all that I need to do for me and my writing in amongst my family demands. I wonder at what point I should put my writing above those of my family, or do I write all morning and then spend the afternoon trying to get the home straight? Would it work better the other way round? Get the family things done first and then write? When I've tried it this way round the family demands take over and I don't get any writing time! Finding the balance sometimes seems too much and what normally suffers is my writing!

I'm not doing very well on my goal for learning twitter. I'm still not confident with any of it!

I wonder why I write when I'm scared of publication!  Does it make us better writers? Perhaps, but only if we listen to what others have to say!

Getting To Grips with Twitter

I am trying to learn the social media site Twitter, it's getting easier to work out what I'm doing but I have still haven't tweeted yet.  To be honest I'm not sure how! I think that should be my goal for this next month, to really learn Twitter and post something.  The nerves are starting already!

Any Writing Achieved today?

Well today hasn't been as productive as I had hoped. I have only written one article today all about the black partridge. So I am going to try and aim for at least two articles tomorrow.  Well for the rest of the day I have reptiles to feed, children to feed and come up with some article ideas.

I thought I would let you all know what I've been up to since creating this blog.  Well I want to write so as the saying goes, get out there and write, well that is what I have been doing.  I have written articles for the Helium site and the Bukisa site so my total writing time has increased dramatically. I only wish I could spend even more hours just writing.  I absolutely love to write, but my time is needed around the house so for today 3 articles down and that will have to be me for the day! Instead I've got the joys of cleaning, dog walking and feeding my reptiles to take me through until tea time!
