Behind the scenes: A day in the life of a Book Blogger

Writing has always been my refuge, my salvation. Whether I work on my projects or on blog posts, writing helps me feel… free. Which is why I thought it would be nice to share with you a typical day in my life; the life of a book blogger, who will soon publish her debut novel (by the way, the book is now available for pre-order and you can get your copy here) and recently started her own business of wedding planning.  Oh yes… I need my days to be full and I cannot lie about it!

To be clear, not all days are equally busy, for I don’t feel equally inspired every day. But, I wake up every morning at about 6:30am, have my breakfast, get ready for work, grab a coffee and read a little bit, before having to fully focus on the amount of work I have to finish every single day.

Then, around 1 to 2pm, while having my lunch break, I work either on blog post ideas or an actual post, depending on whether I have already planned the posts I want to upload every single month or whether I want to mix things up a little bit and just go with the flow. What’s certain though is that lately I try to combine both of those two options and actually write at least two posts per day, depending on how hectic my day in general is.

After I finish from work, I either have to go to my Spanish class or head to my tutoring classes (yes, I’m both a student and a teacher), or, if I’m extra lucky, I simply go home and work on my own writing projects. And that’s probably the best time of the day for me. Coffee, the fictional worlds and characters I’ve created and a couple of hours to get to see them again. Write about their adventures, dreams, hopes and fears.

For the past couple of months, my nights are pretty much the same. Either I watch series on Netflix (I’m OBSESSED with Vikings lately) or read a book, because a book blogger always needs a good book review for her blog. And, if neither I nor Apo are super busy the other day, we may go to the movies or for a quick drink. Both of us try to finish our work by 3pm every Saturday, so we can spend the rest of the day and Sunday together.

And that’s, more or less, how my days as a book blogger pass. Work, brainstorming, writing, Spanish and tutoring classes, more brainstorming, more writing, reading and gallons upon gallons of coffee. But you surely have figured that out by now.
