Howdy folks! How are we all today? It’s been a while since I’ve done a good morning Sunday post. For those of you who are more recent readers of my blog I used to write a Sunday morning post every week pretty mush. I’d write the post and then get cracking with writing. That was quite a decent period of productivity and it was when I first really started discovering what a writing routine for me could be. Something along the lines of be up at 8, 9am and write a blog post and then crack on with the fiction till about midday. That has worked for me quite well and it’s something I’m trying to get back in the habit of doing. It’s easier said than done when working on some mental health problems but I feel I’m making good progress, albeit slow at times. Today is a step forward, I’m planning on following that routine today. Although I have been writing every day I’ve not sat at my desk and written for a long time, and when I’ve tried I’ve struggled to string words into sentences. Today feels totally different. I’ve woken up well, I’m still tired but have been talking to a friend about some of why I’m struggling this last few months. I do know what has been the cause of it this time and I’m working on it with the support of family and friends.

As for writing, I have still written everyday this year, despite the days where it’s felt like 200 words has been like fighting with a grizzly bear over a salmon. I’ve still written and I’m making progress on PE2. I feel like I’m at a part of the story where things are going to get feisty.

The first book in the Penal Earth series is with the editor, and the cover artist has come up with a great concept. So the first book is progressing well, which feels weird seeing as I am struggling with knocking the words out at the moment, but knowing there is this progression now I’ve done all I can with it has been a weird confidence boost.

Right, that’s enough rambling for one day. Off to get some words of fiction wrangled!

Have an awesome Sunday, folks!
