I love this time of year, when the sun shines and
everything in the garden starts to blossom.
The recent weather has inspired me to get out and walk in an effort to
get fit and lose some weight.
Exercise
is something I find easy to put off, let’s face it there are plenty of other
things to fill my time, but the weather has definitely helped. I certainly don’t enjoy walking in the cold
and wet.
The only problem with the amount of blossom that’s around is
that my hayfever has kicked in, and as well as a horrible cold that I have inherited
from my lovely husband, you could say that I’m feeling pretty sorry for myself
at the moment.
I had a busy old month writing wise last month. I submitted my novel to two agents, after it
came bouncing back alarmingly quickly from the first one I sent it to, and I
made two short story submissions (not much I know but it’s a start). I also started to revamp another novel aimed
at Mills and Boon and entered it into the competition they are running in
association with Prima Magazine.
This month I’ve been working on another two short stories
and have started an assignment for the Article Writing and Freelance
Journalism course I began last year. I must
admit I’m finding it a bit tricky. I
have plenty of article ideas but its targeting them to specific magazines that
I’m having trouble with.
My procrastination
is such that I have spent a lot of time this month researching different
magazines, but still haven’t settled on any.
I need to pull my finger out and make a decision soon.
For now though, I think I’ll blame it on the cold and make a
decision when I’m feeling a bit more like myself again.
