A glorious day!

Living or Dying… why can’t we choose? The New Forest

A glorious day!

I woke up this morning expecting another grey miserable day, mainly because that’s all we’ve been getting lately, and found the sun was shining! What a difference a little bit of sunshine makes to everything. Enthusiasm and optimism soar and instantly you want to do so much more than you did yesterday. Which to be fair wouldn’t be difficult. Yesterday turned out to be non-productive day, as I simply could not get going. Getting old is turning out to be a real pain!

I have been re-reading Elizabeth Sims book, ‘You’ve got a book in you’ http://www.elizabethsims.com/ as I felt the need for more inspiration. She has a way of making you feel so much more capable, not to mention competent. Her advice and helpful tips were what got me going in the first place, and I haven’t implemented them all yet.

Basically, I think her book managed to do something to my brain. You may remember that I have not written an entire book before, this is all new to me and I was finding it more than a little daunting. I can proof read and edit until the cows come home and I think I am quite good at it, but I was discovering that actually writing something is not as easy as I thought it might be. I’m sure that some writers do, but they are obviously very good at it!

Since reading this book, I have managed to sort out the plot for my book, plus ideas for subplots. And joy above all joys, I came up with several possible endings. And now it is finished. Nine Lives is born!
