Hello again.
I wanted to write this post yesterday, but never mind. I can say I have had a busy week. I never mentioned that my washing machine broke down, so every day, I was traipsing from one side of the village to the other (not as bad as it sounds) with a basket of washing and a regularly uncooperative two year old. I would do this trip at least twice a day. I enjoyed the weekends, when my fiance was home, so I could do the journey on my own! But alas, my own washing machine is now repaired, two weeks and two days later. And whilst the journey to my friend's house was difficult, I am eternally grateful. As a family of four, we could not have coped without doing washing, and a launderette would have proved very expensive!
Anyway, that is all resolved now. Writing wise, I have been cracking on. Haven't started on anything new but have been editing my current assignment. I hope to have it submitted in a week or two. I must buy more stamps! I have also tried keeping up with the FutureLearn fiction course, and done one of the tasks for that.
In this month's 'Writers' Forum' magazine, they have started talking about our Writer Code. I completed the exercise, and it was an eye opener as to how I choose to work. And I took a quiz as recommended to me by my FlyLady mentor, and learned I am an obliger. So if I want to get anything done, I need others to ask me to do it! In all fairness, the reason I started this blog was for a level of accountability.
How have you been? Have you achieved your goals?

Welcome
Welcome!
This is a basic post. I won't edit the font. I won't do much actually. This is just to get it going.
I am tired as I barely slept last night, but I also decided I really must get my head down. I am a student, nothing extravagant. The Writer's Bureau Comprehensive course. Which reminds me, I really want a Bureau of my own - you know the ones, with the drop down desk? Aren't they just lovely?
Anyway, I have been a student since October last year and have only submitted one assignment! I know, pathetic isn't it? But I am decluttering my home, and my mind in the process, leaving room for all the creativity that writing requires. To make myself more accountable, I will say that I am on the Non-Fiction part, and on assignment N2. If you aren't a student of this particular course, this may mean nothing to you. But if that 'N' number doesn't go up, you will shout at me won't you?
And to add to my stress levels, I have signed up to ANOTHER course - which is free and solely online - as I had my arm twisted by a very dear friend. Go on, you have permission to yell at me now.
I must dash, things to do, words to write. As for frequency of this blog? As often as possible!
Please, do introduce yourself in the comments, and if you have any good writing-type blogs that may be of use to me, or any readers, feel free to link them in the comments too!
See you soon!
