This is goodbye.

Hello Everyone!

Remember who I am?!

Well, I'm back. But not for long.

This will be my last post on this blog.

After a very good few years blogging, I've decided it's time to call it a day. This was, after all, a writing blog and since I'm not writing at the moment, it seems a bit pointless having this blog. I know I could have some sort of extended 'break' from blogging but to be honest I would rather just draw a line under this blog. I thought starting again with a fresh new look blog would help but I've lost all desire to spill my inner most thoughts blog-stylee. So I've thought about it and thought about it some more and I've come to the conclusion that the end has come.

I've made some lovely lovely friends through this blog and I hope that despite this blog's demise everyone will continue to my friends on facebook, Twitter etc...

You never know, I might pop up again somewhere else under a new alias sometime in the future when I am writing again.

I'll still read everyone's blogs and I'll comment too - you won't get rid of me completely. I want to keep up-to-date with everyone's progress.

So.

I guess it's time for Paige to bow out. See you around! Bye!

Oh bollocks!

Just when I think I've got going, I get struck down in my prime.

To cut a long story short. I'm not well at the moment. Like I said in the previous post I've got some sort of bug and it's not shifting as quickly as I would like. So a visit to the Doctors might be on the cards. And due to this problem I've come to the decision that I won't be going to the Novel Racers Meet in Birmingham at the end of this month. I know that the trip is still a few weeks away and I might be better by then (here's hoping!) but I just feel I need to look after number one at the moment and not get all het up about organising a 'holiday' when I might not be well enough to go on it. Money is a bit of an issue too, but when is it not?! lol!

Don't worry. I don't think the bug I've got is anything serious. I'm hoping it'll clear up after I've seen the Doctor. But until I feel 100% again, this blog is on a hiatus. At least I know one thing, it isn't my heart playing up like last time I was feeling so unwell I couldn't do much.

I'll still be kicking around Twitter and Facebook so you can see how I'm doing there and I'm always available with my email. I'm not sure how long I'll be away so I'll say see you soon!

Onwards!

Just a quick post tonight.

I seem to have developed some sort of tummy bug today and I feel like crap. But I'm going to turn this into my advantage though- I'm going to do some writing in front of the telly in bed tonight instead of sitting at the laptop on my slightly uncomfortable desk chair. I'm not going to go anywhere near the laptop once I've finished this post. I'm going to lie in comfort on my bed with my print out of my current project and my notebook and just read and take notes. I will not get stressed out or anything. I need to relax so I can fight this blooming bug I've got from somewhere.

All is good apart from that.

Now that BGT is finished I'll get some writing done!

Okay so it's been a week since my last post. I've slipped up again. Whoops!

But...

Can I just say that this week I've been pretty busy? I know that sounds like an excuse and maybe it is a little bit but I have been busier than usual. Between being really tired after work, going to bed early cos I have to get up early for work, watching my football team getting humped in an important cup final, seeing the boyfriend and watching Britain's Got Talent I've not really had the time to do anything with the current project and therefore not had any topics to blog about. Even yesterday and today I've been busy doing household chores and sitting down with the current project has been further from my mind. I know all the things I've listed above aren't exactly good 'excuses' for not writing or blogging but I'm being honest. I could come up with daft unbelievable excuses but I won't bother. Now that BGT has finished (YAY that Diversity won!!!!) and my room is much tidier than it was last Friday, I can hopefully settle down and actually do some writing. I'm ignoring the nice weather outside and getting on with it. Saying that I have a huge pile of ironing that needs doing. Seriously... how do people with families and full time jobs get any writing done?? I work part time and have no children and I struggle. I do need to have time to enjoy myself too but I need to write. Balance. I need to find that balance again!

Minor Slip

Oh dear. This new 'I'm writing. I'm focused. I'm raring to get on!' thing I'm on has sort of ground to a halt. Oops. I haven't done nearly as much as I wanted to do this weekend. But I've not been able to do any reading as I've not been at home the past day and a bit so I'm not going to give myself a hard time. If I'd been doing sweet FA all weekend, faffing about on Facebook etc, I'd be a little bit angry with myself but my time away was lovely, relaxing and fun and looking back to this post I think that's just what someone needs now and again.

But!

I'm definitely going to continue with my reading. All is back to normal. ;-)

Here I am!

Okay so it's Friday now and my last post was Tuesday. I just wanted to 'Check in' so no one thinks I've done a bunk again. I haven't had the chance to post (or do any reading/writing) the past couple of nights cos on Wednesday I was at the cinema to see Angels and Demons again(DON'T CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAY - I LOVE IT!) and yesterday I was invited to a flat warming party/work's night out (Not a good idea to drink/go clubbing when you have work the next morning!!! Doing a six hour shift on 3hrs sleep and a hangover isn't nice.)

Anyway, I plan on getting a good chunk of My Current Project done over the weekend. I can't WAIT to get stuck into it properly again - get a feel for all the characters who I haven't 'spoken' to in such a long time. It'll be like meeting up with old friends again. Having had such a long gap away from the Project, it'll mean I'll be looking at it with fresh eyes. Although I have to keep reminding myself to keep my inner editor locked up. I don't want to edit the words I already have when I've still to finish the blooming thing.

I just want to add one wee thing at the end of this post.

I'm happy. For the first time in a long time, I can actually say that and mean it. :)

Keeping It Going....

I'm having an early night tonight. I have to get up at 5am tomorrow so that I'm safely out the house at 6.20-ish to get the bus to work. I hate early mornings but at least this way I get out of work at a decent time (ie. I have the whole afternoon to myself! Yay!)

I plan on going shopping tomorrow afternoon. I have a few things I'm definitely on the look for but on the whole I'm not entirely sure what I'll buy, if anything. Then it's time to nip home before heading off to the cinema to see the best film out just now, Angels and Demons. I've already seen it at the cinema (went to see it last week on the first day it came out!) but I loved it so much that I'm dying to see it again! I'm really looking forward to seeing it again!!

I'm not sure if I'll do any reading tonight, I think I'll have a night off. Watch a bit of telly before heading to bed about 9.30!

I know this post doesn't really say much but I was determined to post SOMETHING so that I get back into the routine of posting on my blog again. Once I'm back in love with blogging 100% (I'm about 79% at the moment) my blog posts will be better! I promise.
