Not so motivated today. Haven’t started that book and the week’s almost up. Very few views on my blog. In a feeble attempt to push back the voice in my head telling me that I’m just a pie-in-the-sky dreamer, I abandon the grumbling tones of my cave, park my bum upon the awaiting magic carpetContinue reading “20: Dead Day”

18: Designer?
Seems I’ve written numerous blog posts today, but no book! Perhaps I won’t manage to keep my pledge to write a book in a week after all. And I haven’t even beaten my viewing record – only 114 views on my blog today – and most (probably all of them) from my one and onlyContinue reading “18: Designer?”
16: Getting Out of the Kitchen

15: Why Hinch?
Why on this planet did I bother with all that hinching over the weekend. I spent hours shifting the congealed layers of grease from my oven and microwave, not to mention all the washing-up, hoovering and mopping. I was rewarded with a flooded kitchen and an angry hubby, after bits if disintegrated Brillo pad somehowContinue reading “15: Why Hinch?”

11: Book a Week
Is it possible, I ask you (i.e. myself) to write a book in a week? How long will Mrs Hinch stay away for, if I just sit down at my desk and write on and on and on? Will she place her rubber-gloved hand on my shoulder and entice me into my kitchen to seeContinue reading “11: Book a Week”
9: Floats & Giggles
It’s silly, but … … now that I know I’m leaving, that there’s an end in sight, I’m actually quite enjoying my job. A strange phenomenon that I’m putting down to relief. The anxiety has lifted and I’m feeling all floaty. All floaty, happy and even a little bit (a lot) giggly! This morning, IContinue reading “9: Floats & Giggles”
Getting Out of the Day Job 6: Pinch Me
Disclaimer: This post contains book-image links to Amazon. Should you choose to purchase a recommended book via a link, I will receive a commission at no extra cost to yourself. I’m still pinching myself (not Hinching myself). Did I really sign up for voluntary redundancy last week? And does that really mean I’ll be ‘unemployed’?Continue reading “Getting Out of the Day Job 6: Pinch Me”
Getting Out of the Day Job 5: Lottery Win!
Disclaimer: This post contains links to Amazon. I do not earn any commission for sales made. I’ve done it! No, I haven’t (to my knowledge) won the lottery, but I’ve sold my first book! Wow! Okay, so it’s not that impressive – I haven’t even published, let alone sold, my own masterpieces – but, IContinue reading “Getting Out of the Day Job 5: Lottery Win!”
