Ten Reasons To Be Cheerful

Some days you find what you didn't know you were looking for.....today it was on Anna Lucia's blog, http://anna-lucia.blogspot.com/. Having been in a blue funk for days this seems just the right things to turn me around. So here goes:

1. I have the most wonderful husband in the world
2. My three kids are happy and healthy (despite the daily battles with dd)
3. The sun is shining today
4. I am going to Venice with my husband in June
5. I have managed to write something today
6. Two dear friends are getting married soon
7. I love my home in Cornwall
8. I am blessed with wonderful friends
9. My faith keeps me sane
10. I am in good health

So today I am smiling and I'm writing. It's a great day!

Blue Funk

As I write this I am feeling a tad better. The past two days I have been a blue funk. A heavy heavy heart and weary body and mind weighed me down. I haven't written a word so my revised goal of 50k by the end of tomorrow is nigh on impossible unless I drink red bull all day long. That is not a huge tragedy as I well over original target.

With A Cornish House, I know where I am going at the moment and can see it clearly in my head but I feel if I start writing at present my characters will all fall into a fearful depression....like a great climatic low is sitting over them. Sometimes writing through a blue funk is good but right now I don't think so.......I will be hanging my head in shame on Friday at the coffee.

Book club was Monday and we read - that is all except for me, Notes on a Scandal......I had managed 45 pages. Pitiful but hey when I am full on writing I am too drained I think to read much. So yesterday and today I have been continuing with that and still working on Night Watch. Maybe I should pick up one of the happier titles from the tbr pile????
