My Writing Journey 4 (Fail)

For those of you who have been reading my blog this year, I started a writing journey back in May where I shared that I was writing a novel. I then went on in June and July to share two more updates of my writing journey. My original plan was to post every month of my writing journey but as you can see it's been five months since July and there has not been an update. 

Honestly, the truth is. I haven't touched my novel since July. To date my novel still stands at 11,021 words which is exactly the same as my last update in July. The reason why I haven't touched my novel. I don't know. There can be a number of reasons, life got a little busy with work and dating. Also my art hobbies have taken over my life and my writing has taken a back seat. I guess you can say I've had a bit of writer's block and I'm unsure what to write. I would like to finish the first draft of my novel but I'm not sure when I'm going to do that. I also don't want to put pressure on myself to write just because I have to as I know that won't produce any good writing. I'm thinking of taking a break from writing my novel and coming back to it in the new year. Hopefully in that time, I will figure out this writer's block and return to my novel when I'm ready with a fresh pair of eyes. 

So yeah, sadly this update has no real progress to it but I thought I needed to confess that I haven't been working on my novel to those that may have been following my writing journey posts. For now this will be that last update of my writing journey in 2025 and in January 2026 I hope to bring you my fifth update with hopefully some more progress made. 

Thank you for understanding and let me know if you've ever had writer's block, how did you get over it? I would love to hear your advice in the comments below.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another post.

See you then.

    I’ve been struggling with my dissertation for weeks, and finding reliable help has been a challenge. After some research, I came across several options, but I realized that the best dissertation writing service really makes a difference in terms of quality and timely delivery. Their professional writers provide detailed guidance, proper formatting, and original content, which significantly reduces stress. I highly recommend exploring such services if you want to improve your academic performance efficiently.

Here we are, the fifth month of the year and we’re flying through this year already. I’m very excited because at the end of this month I’m on holiday in Majorca with my family. It’s very exciting because I always love going away on holiday. There’s also two bank holidays this month which is even more exciting.  Other than that I don’t really have a lot planned for this month. I’ve got family staying this weekend. I’m hoping to work on my novel this month as I haven’t really had much of a chance recently. It feels like I’ve been so busy with work and I haven’t really had much time for myself. That’s all going to change this month. This month is a new month, new me. I’m feeling positive about this month as I’ve had a few meh months these past couple of months but now it’s onwards and upwards.  Looking forward to it all. Let me know if you have anything exciting for this month. I’d love to hear it. Thank you for taking the time to view my blog and I’ll be back soon with another p...

My Future Plans

Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

Things That Make Me Happy

Image
I thought I'd share five things that make me happy because it's good to have things in your life that make you happy and these are mine. Let's get started.  Driving My Own Car I honestly love driving my car. It's a great feeling just being able to get in my car and go anywhere. I love listening to music in my car because when I drive, I'm singing along and it's a great feeling. It's therapeutic. When I first got my car, it made me nervous but as long as you know what you're doing and go at your pace. Plus remain focused then you'll be fine. It gives you so much freedom and independence when you drive and honestly, I don't know what I did before I had my own car.  Playing a video game I don't know why but getting invested in a good video game is something that really makes me happy. Sometimes I love replaying games I know off by heart but it helps me to switch my brain off and focus on something in a while. Recently I've played Tomb Raider...
