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?

My passion; my help from you

Writing in my head always happens.  Always.  As I sit silently on my sunbed I hear the rushing of the waterfall, the lapping of the wind on the flag above and I think.  Think and write.  

Watching families arrive at the pool with excitement.  The day ahead promises more sunshine.  Children screech in anticipation of the cool water of the swimming pool.  I observe.

Constantly writing in my head the scenes my eyes witness.   Wishing for a keyboard to write it on.  Darn, I wish I had brought my wireless keyboard to write the thoughts on my phone.  Easily transferrable to my laptop later on in the day.

Yet, I sigh as I try to remember the views in order to rewrite those words into a translatable blog post.  In order to tell all the world, all of you,  what amazing sights I have seen.

Onwards, I realize there is another novel inside me.  Then another true story of my own to share.  I wonder if there will ever be enough time to write all the stories I have inside of me in this lifetime.  Constantly thinking and mentally writing.

Knowing my stories were sent to me to pass on, to inspire, to teach others.  

In wonder I think about the luxury of time.

This holiday sees me with plenty of time to gather my thoughts while relaxing and mentally write.  Will there ever be a time in my life I am able to do this every day?  My work is my passion.  My passion is my writing.  So how?  Apparently, the law of attraction says it is not up to me to figure out the how.  Forever, I have wondered how though.  So this I must let go of.  

Money, work, money, passion, money, work.  Bills must be paid.  Starving writer/artist syndrome keeps so many from persuing their dreams.  I will not allow this limiting belief to stop me.  I will write.  All the while vlogging.  Another passion.  I love this online life.  Better still that it can allow me the freedom to keep working despite my health.

Perhaps that’s why it is a passion.  However, I feel the passion is realized because of the health.  Perhaps the health struggles have allowed this realization.  My Crohns disease will not stop me, rather it will be my driving force.   This amazing job I love can respect my illness  - allowing me to take care of myself while living the dream.

Today, I sit with my laptop in the blazing sun, unable to see my screen while I lather with suntan lotion and I write my blogs.  Putting into words the eyes view.  Ready to write another blog.  All the while thanking you for reading my words, thanking you for helping me.

Thanking you for sharing my words, my videos, my books.  This is the dream coming true.  The dream is allowing my passion, allowing me to be me.

You help me to be me.  Unapologetically. 

I won Camp NaNoWriMo

I have done it!!!

"Delayed" is still not finished but I have surpassed the word count I had set for myself.  I'm loving this story.  I've left my main characters just enjoying their first kiss...

Next week I will get back to it and get it finished soon (first draught) so  I can let the editing begin and get it up for release before the end of the summer for you all to read.

Super proud moment!

Much love from a tired typist who just wrote a novel

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

Louise xoxo

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!

What the heck is going on?!

Ok, here I am again at last!

Apologies for being AWOL for so long.  I have great reasons which I really don't want to go into at great length here just now.  Although,  if you see my Bio has had a big change and now I'm a single girl.  A big shock to many including myself!

So, a slight change of jewellery and here's off to a great new base for a new novel.

Needless to say, life has been crazy chaotic.  Although I'm on the up in a big way.  Honestly,  I feel when people have a bit of a 'crisis' (you might call it) they either fix themselves by crying lots,  sleeping for ages and feeling really sad - getting lots of lovely cuddles from loved ones - or,  like me,  really grab life by the wotsits and decide to use it as a positive change.

Sounds perfect eh?

Well yes, of course it would sound perfect.  This is me,  Mrs positive,  Mrs Lusher Life.  Agreed,  I really do love to make my Lusher Life and when things are taking a downturn I do realise that it's all part of life.

It's a journey isn't it!

It's important to realise we are human.  So while I'm recovering,  my body is taking a little bit of a bashing as my stress can go inward.

Now, with the Law of Attraction in mind,  we create our reality with our thoughts.  I'm thinking that my life needs x, y, z right now and by agreeing to these things I feel better.  

For instance,  (as i know that was hard to grasp)  To feel in control,  I need to realise the control is in my hands!

So what will I do with my new found freedom?  Well that's up to me but creating a Lusher Life is what I'm all about so everything I do must be moving forwards in that direction.

Realising this sad story had a sad ending has just given me the 100% clarity that I really need to write this as a story in a book which is of course my passion.  I love writing and more and more it is starting to become a reality that I can make it happen.

She says as she twins screens at the new desk which is located next to the radiator!

Meanwhile,  I'm off to write some blogs on my very exciting Salon Blog which you can find here.

I will,  I promise,  knuckle down to getting these 2 books finished that I keep luring you in with.  I'm ready for lots of hard work and getting this blog 'up there' is going to be awesome. 

Much love to you all.....watching your news too
