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!
