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. |
| Hi Everyone!!! So as another day draws to a close here in QLD, Australia, I was asked by someone on Discord, "Was Wednesday worth getting up for?" As they are only just rising for their Wednesday in America. My answer was yes, yes it was worth getting out of bed for. Was it a special day for me? Not particularly. It was just ordinary, really. I didn't have to go to work; however, I did do about an hour at home. It was supposed to be raining, but it wasn't, which, for us here at the moment, was a bit disappointing as we really need some rain right now. Everything is so dry. Then, the best part of the day for me: Ironing my husband's work pants!!! You cannot get more exciting than that, right??? I mean, seriously, how can you not want to stand in front of a hot iron and rake it over pants after pants after pants? SO COOL!!!! NOT!!! It is kind of my fault as I do let them rack up in number. But I had the music on and I danced around, got my groove on and found it not so bad. Thankfully no cameras in this house baby!! I spent the day loving up my furkids, which I will never resent, reading some of Iron Flame (great book, great series), listening to some crime podcasts and having a nanna nap!! For me, my day was sweet. Also chatting to some new writer friends on threads, Instagram and now Discord. Slowly building that circle of like-minded people in the writing world. So,yes, my Wednesday was worth waking up for. Was yours??? |
