I can hardly believe it is the 28th already! It has been a testing month (leaky roof, repairs and a fall down the stairs and a bruised coccyx for my partner) but despite all that I have still managed to achieve my writing goals for the month. I started the year with the intention of [...]

I thought I would stray away from blogging about writing directly today in favour of blogging about my office. I’m lucky enough to have a dedicated room for writing in, although I have still been known to write in bed and even in the bath from time to time. Yep it has happened. But I [...]

… and what a difference it has made! Just thought I would share this little development with you as we all know how easy it is to get lazy when you work from home…
I was inspired to write this because as I am typing it I am looking out onto a lake filled with carp. I am sitting in an old converted Grade II listed water mill in Kent, England – and boy is it inspiring when it comes to writing!

You know that feeling of being sluggish? You’ve probably experienced it before – I know I have. And it can really play havoc with my writing too.

Now anyone who DOESN’T work from home is probably now thinking, ‘How on earth could there be? There’s no boss to dislike, no getting up at 7am to get ready and rush to catch a crowded train, oh and you’re probably doing a job you enjoy too. What disadvantages could there be about that?’
