A Little Bit Of Everything

Spent a good few hours writing yesterday, I'd forgotten how could it feels to lose yourself in your writing - ah bliss.  This morning I was looking for jobs and found a gem of one on line and very local to me.  After a mammoth battle with the printer and the router, I eventually managed to get all the info printed (with hubby's help of course).  So the plan for tonight is to complete the standard bits of the application and to work on the more personal parts tomorrow. 

Well of course that wont happen because Wednesday is my day in the shop!  So why didn't I do it this afternoon?  Because I took Lisa to her hospital appointment which lasted over 2 hours!! So  a new plan then?  Write, until I collect Cerys from her friends house, eat dinner, watch my twp favourite TV programs - then off to bed.  You see how time slips away from you.  Of course I could write on through the evening but I would also like to cuddle up with hubby in front of the TV for a while.  The application form will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, and the writing?  Squeezed into the few hours between the school run and dinner.  There that's tomorrow all sorted!

They Seek Him Here...

Well, what to say?  As some of you may remember I was finding it hard to find the time to sit down and write due to extended family issues.  I don't like to discuss my personal issues on here so all I will say is that things are no longer as fraught as they were.  Time to write then?  Unfortunately not.  Hubby and I have decided that I should go out to work, its only fair.  In September Cerys will be going up to secondary school and although Hubby has doe a wonderful job in supporting us all for many years, I would really like to contribute.

Now, searching for a job is no easy feat - some of the websites are more complicated that those logic puzzles you used to see years ago on "The Krypton Factor" (for those who can remember it).  Why make it so difficult?  Still I'm not one to give up at the first hurdle and have already applied for a few jobs.  Although initially I was scared at losing my writing time on reflection I think it may give me a more structured routine.  Sometimes the more time you have the less you actually do with it, or maybe that's just me.

No news yet on any submissions or competition entries but I live in hope and have a new idea which is in such an early stage of its development, I won't share it with you yet.

I am counting down the days until Swanwick Writers Summer School in August and looking forward to seeing some well loved and familiar faces.  If you fancy it look it up on line, I'm sure there is still time to book yourself a place.
