My journaling month #najowrimo

This page sits empty as I attempt to edit and click on 'view'.

IT's empty?  That can't be.  I'm way too busy to be journalling, yet journalling is just the thing I want to be doing.  What is stopping me?  I'm a night mare.  How can it be that I am not logging the 500 words per day I had planned for myself.

Enough times I have been quoted on the internet that this is my passion, this is what I want to be doing with my life.  Writing.

Hash tag am writing.  #amwriting - everywhere. Yet am I?  Mentally yes!

So here we are with nothing more  than a title beginning on July 1st.

NaJoWriMo.  What does that mean? Some of you may remember last July I wrote a short novel in Nanowrimo which means national novel writing month.  NaJo is national journal writing month.  I love a bit of journalling.  From the pretty stationary isle right down to the actual brain dumping and turning into manifestations.  Gosh, I feel the flow now! It's July 10th (eek almost half way through the month) and I sit in a bar in Gran Canaria hotel with glasses chinking all around me and the sound of charleston type music with plenty of clarinet playing as the professional circus act happens on a tiny stage.  Clapping and cheers of hooray stemming from the audience which includes my amazing daughter and mum.  They are enjoying the show.  I'm happy here.  Not one for home sickness as such (I have wanderlust way too much) there are several things I miss about home.  Writing at my desk being one of those things.  The lighting of a candle carefully cradled by Buddha and of course my hairy companion shihtzu puppy (who's 8) called Harley.  He's always at my side loving me.




So as I type directly onto blogger here, I am unaware of how many words I type.  Not 500 that's for sure.  Yet I'm super keen to get this post uploaded.  Yet again there is so much I have to say.  So much.  

Even though I read back through my muse and I can see my words are flowing faster than my brain which is also flowing very fast.  Am I describing everything enough to you guys?  Mr NaJo says we should write for ourselves.  Yes, I agree, yet there are a few (not many) innermost secrets I will only write for myself personally, but I digress.

Someone on the internet who I follow, love and find inspiring just brought me down.  Watching a IG live broadcast she was explaining how hard it is to make a living online these days unless you succumb to multi level marketing.  Well there certainly is a place for MLM online I agree.  Yet I disagree with all else she is saying and comments like this need to be carefully edited as dreams can get shattered.  For me, and my health issues as well as having to take care of mum now, the only choice I really have is to work online which is handy as its also what I want to do with every beat of my heart.  That dream has never wavered.  Never.  Its even there when I sleep.  Hence, sitting in a bar, missing out on the 'professional show'  -I just can't help myself.  
Love writing. 

Writing loves me.
It flows.
I love it.  Do you love it?

Are you a reader?  Do you journal? I'd love your comments below...

So this lifestyle blogger who loves to create a good book, has promised herself that NaJoWriMo will be published.  July is a definite month to watch.  Holiday, house selling, clearance, more blogging and creating VLOGS to share with you.  
Are you with me through this crazy month of July?

One more week of Camp NanoWriMo

Who's writing?

Are you doing Camp NanoWriMo?  Well, I am and loving it.  My story is taking twists and turns that I definitely didn't expect to happen! The romance is just about to begin to bloom between the two main characters Liv and Thomas. I can't wait to see what starts to happen!

Previously, I never quite understood novelists who explained how the story was just happening as if it was out of their control.  Yet something seems to happen when you get in the flow and it's like the story takes on a mind of its own!

Today I shall be writing more and I will smash my word count that I set for NaNoWriMo of 10,000.  The story needs to be much longer but knowing I have at least hit those 10,000 words takes the pressure off.

My main surprise has been how I have found a lack of motivation!!! Gosh, what's that all about?  I used to sit in judgement with authors who complained about this issue.  I was always dreaming of the chance to sit at my desk and write, write, write.  Although I have now found ways that work for me, doing the one thing I dreamed of could get a little monotonous.  Instead I move around a lot with the laptop,  write with a pen sometimes in my ideas book,  interact with other members of Camp NanoWrimo.

I'm not sure when the book is likely to get released.  I have realised the best thing to do is get the story down.  Edit later.  Lots of spelling, typing, grammatical errors that need sorting.  During camp, it is the writing of the first draught which counts.  Editing can come along later.  I'm very excited to finish my word count today and see how many more words flow.

Loving my writing! I can't wait to share this love story with you!


Come back soon for more updates on the story and some exciting news about my podcast!

Much love as always

Releasing blocks and becoming an author

Camp NaNoWriMo. 

I'm loving it. 

My story is taking twists and turns that are only revealed to me once I get to the paragraph before. Creating much excitement!
While there is an element of pressure, the accountability does ensure I write frequently!

My cabin mates are great fun and we all prop each other up during our good days and bad days. 

The strangest thing has happened since Camp began And my new novel "Delayed" was born. I have been getting oodles of paid writing gigs and blog sponsors. Brilliant!!!

So it's finally very justified to realise my dream has come true and I am in fact a writer. 
Thank you, law of attraction, for releasing those blocks and bringing me this wonderful "job". 

Wishing you all a day of dreams coming true!

Much love

Louise xoxo

Getting back to The Secret

It's been quite some time since I have touched on the Law of Attraction on this blog.

Which is where it all began.  Me.  Discovering the Law of Attraction.  Me realising that life was there to build on your dreams and to lead you to opportunities.

Someone very dear to me just sent me this article.

http://www.thesecret.tv/stories/how-my-writing-dream-came-true/

The Secret has a kind of blog which shares success stories.  Truly, truly inspirational.

Now I really think that my Youtube channel needs an update of a video from me talking to you about the Law of Attraction.  Let me tell you another Secret...

It's not all roses!!!




What?  No belief?  Well, yes, a massive belief and a knowing that something bigger than the human ego is out there in charge of it all.  This thing called life has to be a journey,  a learning experience. It's not all perfect.  

I believe you go through stages once you have discovered the Law of Attraction.  I've been at the stage for some time where you begin to dip out of the first euphoric state of "I can do ANYTHING!" and begin to realise it's a process.
Sometimes,  you need to be lead down a path which may seem like a really bad idea at the time.  Yet after dealing with some negativity and 'tough love' you might realise that this is in fact leading you right into your dream.

Things begin to unfold for you as you realise that your language of positivity and love (not always appreciated by everyone) is rewarding you.  Too much negative talk and once again you begin to see conflict appearing in your life.  Yet there will always be people out there who can do nothing but negative talk and for them, we must wish them well as they need all the love directed at them as we can.  Evil will manifest itself in many ways, usually illness, heartbreak or just simply hate coming back at them.

So while it is important to keep on the path of least resistance and positivity, I do believe it's possible to go through waves while living a life of Law of Attraction.  Sometimes, while trying to live out your dream,  you will be guided in ways to get you to the end of your dream which you may not realise is taking you there.  This can be so tricky to swallow.  Have you experienced this?  Let me know if this resonates with you.

Meanwhile,  have a read of the link above.  A story of a writer.  Often,  this dream takes some time to come true as it's often a path we are on with a level of doubt about making a living at it. 

I'm so fortunate to say this is now a dream realised for me as I begin to write for others now.

You may have seen my blog posts on NaNoWriMo.  Well, this novel is unfolding beautifully...I'm excited...talking of which, I must get back to it!

Wishing you much much love in your positive day.  Share some love.  Be amazing to people around you.  Compliment folks.  They will love you for it.

Writing a novel for #campNaNoWriMo

You may have seen #NaNoWriMo floating around the internet, especially on twitter.

My Dad asked me to speak English when I mentioned it!!! Are you wondering what it is too?

Well this video should explain it all if you don't already know what NaNoWriMo is about.  Basically it's an opportunity to write a novel in one month.  Usually takes place in November but July sees more relaxed rules and a minimum word count of 10,000 - which is the novella size I have opted for.

Without further ado I must get back to it.  Go watch the video for a cover reveal of my book and come back here often to find out more about it.  There have been many years past since I have written fiction and I'm very excited.  Romance....ahh..what's life without a bit of romance?

Much love as always

Along with some rainbows and unicorns thrown in for a nice balance after watching Jurrasic last night!
