Blog of a newbie writer and her adventures with Sir Cursoralot - my cursor friend and foe. |
|
First time at writing a novel, first time blogging at 51. Bloody hell, this will be interesting. I am writing under my pen name Amare (pronounced Ar - Mah - Ray) which is latin for my real name. I am a proud Aussie who lives in Queensland on an acre property with my husband and our 3 beautiful furkids (golden retrievers) I am a puppy educator for Guide Dogs for the blind and love the sense of achievement when we see one of our amazing pups go on to change the life of a vision impaired person. Raised 6 pups myself before working full time. A very satisfying and rewarding job. Now I'm trying to achieve something more personal for myself as a writer, a journey and maybe success just for me. Also working on self belief, self love, building my confidence, self growth and believing I'm worth something. Not an easy task. So come on a journey with me. Hopefully it will be a fun read from time to time, and it will be bluntly honest. |
Good Evening, Everyone from Australia!! It is raining here today/tonight, and even though it's not men, it is a very blessed relief. We have not had decent rain in so long that the grass is dry, brown and crunchy, the plants are sad, and the solar panels on the roof are filthy lol. Hopefully, this will prevent hubby from climbing up on the roof to clean them, as we all know, sometimes men climbing up on things is a dangerous occurrence. I did warn Sir Cursoralot that today would be a minimal exercise day for him, and I was right. Today was a work day, and lucky me got to spend it doing a refresher CPR course. Well I saved the adult and baby dummies' lives and have my new certificate to say so!! Yay, I saved lives!!! In total honesty, I really believe that if something happened out there to someone, I wouldn't be a whole lot of use to them. Especially if blood was involved. I see blood, I go down!!! Not good. And to think one of my childhood ambitions was to be a nurse! Guess what? That didn't happen. But seriously, though, I hope I am never put in that position where I might have to try to save someone's life. I think panic would set in big time, and my poor little mind would be so overwhelmed it would shut down. How would you go in this situation? Anyway, back to the rain. I love the rain, especially at nighttime when you are climbing into bed and it's pounding on the roof and you can hear it splashing on the concrete. When you hear the frogs start calling out, rejoicing that the rain has finally come. The smell is divine, so fresh and clean, like it's washing all your cares away, at least for a little while. It's supposed to be with us for a few days, and I am just fine with that. My dogs, not so much, as toileting out there when they are getting wet isn't one of their fave activities, and I can't say I blame them. Well that's me for this Tuesday. I am off to bed to capture this beautiful sound while I can. Hope you all have had, or are having a fantabulous day. Amare xxx |
