Lost my mojo

I feel like all of my writing has come to a complete and utter standstill.
Seriously need to pull my finger out but can't for the life of me remember where I left my motivation!!

Feeling so positive!

Well after getting back into my writing-I say writing; I have been sending out readers letters for the past week. Just to try get something in my portfolio.

Last week I had an email from Take a Break saying they wanted to publish a picture and a caption I had sent and today I have had an email saying they would like to print a short paragraph I wrote about my wedding. I am feeling like I am actually getting somewhere now. I also know I get payed for one but not sure about the other. Although I am more excited about seeing my name in a magazine rather than the payment-that's an added bonus!

So now I am going to work on perfecting an article I have been working on for months! If I could get something as big as an article published I would be seriously made up!

Been away too long

I have been away from my blog for way too long! I have neglected it over the Christmas period and promised myself that I would be back in the writing seat straight after New Year...it is now April and I still haven't done anything.

I say haven't done anything-I sent out a few readers letters' and have had a reply back from one of them saying they are hoping to publish it in May and are willing to pay me too.

It is the confidence boost I am in real need of! I have been struggling and thinking that maybe my writing hasn't taken off because I am not good enough or that it just isn't for me. I know it is only a readers letter but it means there is a place for me in the world of writing.

Just lately I have been concentrating on my weight loss and our journey in trying to start our own family. Now I have realised that if I want to earn money and I want to get my writing published I actually need to write something. Of course it is common sense but I am sure everyone goes through that stage of thinking 'Maybe it will all come to me if I wait for it'.

No more waiting for me...I am going to write, type jot and scribble my way to success if it kills me!

Sorry...

Urrgh!
What am I like? It has been a week since my last post-even though I promised I would be posting every day! I have been so busy; Christmas shopping, getting ready for the in-laws to visit at the weekend and trying to keep up with our new puppy Leo!

What is it with this weather...it is horrible (especially when you work in a shop with the doors wide open right next to you and no heating on) I feel so sorry for people who have to work outside!

I came home from work today to a freezing cold house and Leo had emptied the bin all over the floor...then I thought 'my husband has no idea how lucky he is coming home to a clean, warm house'.

I am having real difficulties with my writing at the moment and I just can't kick start any ideas!
Any advice?

Busy bee

So here I am as promised. Only just though as today I have spent all of my free time researching fillers and possible markets for them.
That is my problem-finding an appropriate market! It is what is slowing me down in my writing as I am finding it really really hard. If only there was a forum where we could all share possible markets!

So now I am going to sit down with my print outs and read through everything I have found out about fillers!!

Wish me luck.

I'm BACK...

So it has been over 3 weeks since I wrote my last post!
When I started this blog I said to myself "I will write on my blog daily if I can but most certainly weekly". Just like all of my new ideas the resolve faded!

I am very angry with myself that I haven't carried on writing on my blog and I have decided that for 5 minutes every day I am going to write something on here, even if it is utter rubbish!

So over the past few weeks all I have been doing is finishing my dating article for my third assignment and now trying to find suitable markets for some readers letter!

I feel that I have slowed right down with my writing but now that my Internet is working properly I am hoping I will be in full swing over Christmas - considering all of my Christmas shopping is finished!

Till tomorrow

Today has had me feeling very low. I don't know what it is but it is definitely affecting my writing.

I am struggling with finding a suitable market for an article idea I have. The other articles I have written I have always found a Market before settling on a subject but I really want to do this article.

I feeling down in the dumps and it is sort if putting me off non-fiction writing.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can lift my spirits?

Hopefully my next post will be much happier.
