Creating Daily Habits
Watch on YouTube I have been highly motivated in 2017. I have many goals I want to accomplish. I realised I needed a daily routine in order to get everything done. I started off setting alarms for everything in my to-do list. Ranging from: 6am - Wake Up 6.30am - Pack Work Out Gear 7am [...]
July & August, 2017 Goals
I have to say I was pretty proud of myself sticking to goals in May & June. May was great. I was diligent with my reading and writing goals. I kept to my personal goals. My manuscript crept up to 45K words. Things changed up a bit in June. I established a habit tracker. [...]
Going Car-Less

Keep On Keepin’ On
My day job totally got in the way of my productivity this week. It was bat-shit-crazy. Remember last week when I was all pumped to write my next scene? Well, that didn't happen until Saturday night. Wednesday is an off night for writing. I was still having neck and shoulder pain from my fall the [...]
Climbing the Steps like Rocky
I am completely pumped right now. It is like I completed a marathon and I am ready to do a few more laps. This week I tackled some scenes I have been putting off. I don’t know if it was because I knew them really well. If I just couldn't be bothered to get the words [...]
