Working From Home
Hi all. It’s not a day for writing today – apart from adding a short entry to my 29 Days of Online Writing series. If you read yesterday’s entry you’ll know that I managed to get all my work done in plenty of time to have the whole weekend off. That means I have no [...]

Glad you could join me at the very beginning of my new 29 Days of Online Writing blog series! Here we are on the first day of a brand new month and I’ve kicked off a VERY cold day at 8am by clearing out some emails. I responded to one or two clients, and now [...]

It’s hard to believe it, but tomorrow is February 1st. And that means it is the first day of my month long insight into the life of an online writer. As of tomorrow I will be posting to my blog every day (except on days off, like Sundays for example) and sharing with you what [...]

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 [...]

Unless you are already a writer, you might wonder what an online writer actually gets up to all day. Do we really sit and read tweets and status updates, or even visit our favourite websites when we should be working? Working from home can definitely have its perks, and I for one wouldn’t want to [...]

If you read my blog regularly you’ll probably remember that back in January I wrote a post about getting more writing done in less time.

This is something I have been pondering ever since last year with my own online writing situation.

Well it’s back to the grindstone today (albeit the nicest grindstone I could imagine) after the four day Easter break.

Happy New Year! How has 2010 started for you? Have you come back from the seasonal break to a fresh new batch of writing jobs or are you wondering what to do next?
Working from home seems like such a breeze doesn’t it? You can get up whenever you want to, spend the day in bed if you like, write whenever the mood takes you… and work whatever hours feel right.

… 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?’
