Friday!!

Halfway through with editing my novel, it goes really well I’m so pleased. Max is sleeping beside me in his chair. It’s a shame the weather is so nasty, it’s so cold. Right now I’m keeping an eye on the weather so Max and I don’t get wet when I take him for his walk. To not have to write articles right now is a curse and a blessing. For one I love to write articles it’s just so much fun and it’s never boring because there are so many different niches to write about yes, I miss writing articles!

To be between writing jobs right now gives me finally time to finish my novel, so I can send it to my beta reader. I still have to finish my Christmas novella, I hope to catch the deadline, but I lost so much time because of my article writing. Ah well, fingers crossed.


My garden needs tending but I’ll wait until it’s a bit warmer outside, and it should stop raining too.  Now, if I only manage to walk Max between the rain showers that would be so great, I hate getting wet.

Thursday.....

I’m feeling better today after being sick for a couple of days. I worked this morning like I always do on Thursday mornings and it went well. I have to work this afternoon and then I have until Monday morning to work on my novel and continue writing on my Christmas novella. The edit for my novel takes some time because I’m not able to spend that many hours on the book (it has over 60.000 word count, mind you!). Right now I’m continuing writing on my Christmas novel, and hope to finish before the deadline in July.


The weather sucks, yes really, it’s about 16 degrees Celsius outside and that’s just to cold, that being said, I applied for some writing jobs because I really like writing all kinds of articles; I never get bored writing all kinds of different articles.

Only one week, and then I’m off for London to join the CRY WALK event. I’m so looking forward to spend the weekend in London, seeing many friends again.

Time on my hands……

My novel should be ready in about two weeks for me to send it to my beta reader. I was stuck on my Christmas novella for some time now, but I think my writers block is finally over. So I hope to finish the novella very soon *fingers crossed*.

In a couple of hours family and friends come for our yearly BBQ. Since yesterday I’m busy with preparations and doing last minute grocery shopping. All the salads are ready and so it the rest of the food. I like to prepare food from scratch, it just taste so much better!


Today it’s going be a madhouse, many people and a few dogs too. The weather against me today, so we will take the BBQ inside (thank god we have space to do do).  Hubby is a great help!


Have a great day!

Sad ending of a good week!

A sad ending of a good week, but things happen for a reason.

Today, I wrote the last of my SEO articles because the company I wrote for is closing down the copy-write section, for now anyways. I know as a freelancer, things like this happen but I don’t have to like it! I love to write articles and I hope that they will open up the writing section again, soon. In the meantime I’m on the lookout for a new writing job.

Minus one job gives me the time I urgently need to finish editing my novel, so I can send it to my beta reader. After that it should be ready for the publisher. The novel has a word count from over 60.000 so editing is a lot of work. I also will continue with my Christmas novella, I’m nearing the deadline so I have to finish writing my Christmas novella soon!

This morning I went grocery shopping for our family day on Sunday.  BBQ and lots of alcohol. I’m so looking forward to this family gathering. I had high hopes for the weather to be great on Sunday, so we could party outside in the garden. Unfortunately the weather forecast  doesn’t look good, so we will stay indoors.

Rough night!

Last night hubby and I woke because our Max had breathing problems. It was hell; the poor pooch could barely catch his breath. All we could do was sit at his side and keep him calm because he was panicking (and rightly so!)


After the episode was over we kept him company for a while longer just to make sure he really was ok. After that, I didn’t sleep much the rest of the night. Max is doing fine now, we just went for we long walk and my friend joined us with her doggie, she is Max’s lady friend. So, fingers crossed that Max isn’t getting any more breathing problems.


Have a good day all!

Max, the garden, London and a funeral!

I lost my dear neighbor last week to cancer. After fighting for thirteen years, she lost the fight of her life! The funeral was heart wrenching I already miss her so much.

The garden:

I worked in the garden for the last six days or so, and I feel all the muscles in my body LOL. I think two more days and all is finished. The weather forecast is good when the sun shows itself in a few days, I will be able to get my laptop and get some writing done while enjoying the weather.


Max:

Yesterday I gave Max his haircut his hair really grows fast. So every five to six weeks I have to give him e haircut.


My novel:

I finally have the time to continue editing my novel. It didn’t touch my books in ages, I’m glad I finally have the time to continue writing on my Christmas novella and……. to continue editing my novel.

London:


I’m so excited; I leave for London in three weeks. Once I arrive I will meet up with friends who I only see once a year. I keep in touch with my friends from the UK via Facebook, so I’m always excited when we meet up once a year in London.

Lazy Sunday!

Today is all about family, quality time. So hubby, Max and I will take a little trip this afternoon. I just let a good friend of mine proofreading the prologue and first chapter of my Sam and Rory novel. He said that it was well written and he liked it very much. That’s what he said when I asked him for an honest opinion. I’m so pleased.


The weather is good for the first in like forever LOL, so I’m looking forward having some much needed quality time with my hubby and with Max. Going for a nice long walk, afterwards have coffee and a nice slice of delicious apple pie hhhmm yummy.



I will do some editing on the Sam and Rory novel, I want to finally finish and send it on its way to the publisher, fingers crossed that they like the story and that they will publish the book.
