Monday, monday

Today was just work, work, work and I don't mean writing.  Have done very little writing today that wasn't connected to my day job. 

Read a really good post 'Running our races and becoming winners' by Jody Hedlund on her blogspot regarding work/life balance or rather writing/family time balance, really think I need to look at my work/writing balance.  One of my colleagues suggested I try job share, if only, it really isn't an option in these present economic times, but one day

I've decided that I need to set myself daily writing targets.  My target for tomorrow is to write up the article I planned out on saturday and try to do at least 800 words of my novel.

I also read Nicola Morgans blogspot which is full of really useful advice for the newbe writer but I did find myself wondering am I good enough at the moment, am I writing the right book?  Personally I think I can write.  Whether I writing the right stuff I'm not sure.  I love crime and mystery novels I read them all the time I am going to read a lot more of them so I'm fully conversant with the gendre.  And I am going to persevere with the articles but I'm not delusional.  I don't know if I'm good enough at this moment in time but I will be.

More Soon - Chez
