My life

Another one bites the dust.  Chapter 13 finally finished.  Maybe it is the number 13 that hampered the flow in this chapter.  Anyway tomorrow it is time to move forward and start on chapter 14.  One word at a time and I will reach the final goal.#doit regardless.

Progress

So far I am managing to honour the commitment I have made to spend some time each day focusing on my book.  Life is busy and in the past I have used this as an excuse but now I grab what time I can.  The other day I had some time between appointments so went to the local shopping centre grabbed myself a healthy lunch (as I am trying to get that area of my life under control also) and sat in the food court for around 40 minutes and edited what I had written previously.  I have found that taking the opportunity with what available time presents itself is paying off.   Still a slow process but progress is progress.#doitregardless

Writing my story

Well at last I have my blog set up thanks to the help from my son-in-law.  It is exciting, scary and all those things and more.  Now my proposed book is a reality.  It has been something I have wanted to do since 1994 and with many stops and starts I have now made the commitment to myself and Joy (A & A Book Publishing) to connect with ‘Why am I so Bad?’ on a daily basis.  It could be just an update on my blog (as I want my friends and people yet unknown to me to support me) or it could be planning chapters, editing, reading over previous work or the actual writing of it which seems to be the hardest to commit to.  It is strange that the one thing I am so passionate about seems to come with so much fear which is why I am my own worst enemy at times.  Trust me it is a big undertaking to expose yourself on the page, to be totally honest and vulnerable but with it comes freedom as there is no place to hide.  My blog is to share my writing journey.  I have currently written around 50,000 words and am presently working on chapter 13 which I have been writing periodically over the last twelve months.  It seems particularly difficult to write as it is dealing with material that I have not really focused on before.  So that’s it for now as I have some serious writing to do.  Please feel free to post comments on my blog so you can be a part of this wonderful journey!#doitregardless
