Eggs Benedict, home fries, mimosa and an afternoon of writing. To be more exact blogging. Sundays seem to be great days for doing this. You’ve spent Saturday hanging with the young people in your family. You’ve spent Saturday night hanging with friends. Now it’s Sunday morning. You go to church with grandma and grandpa then head to brunch. Ah brunch with all of the trappings. A few mimosa’s later and your ready to head into the world. So now your home. What to do? What to do? How about writing your blog.

I have decided that Sunday would be my day to blog. I’m usually at home and have spent the morning in church. And after my mimosa fix I can tell you everything about writing from A to Z. Not really but after a few mimosa’s I “think” I can…lol.

Where to write my blog? Where to write when I’m being creative? I have an office space at home where I do the majority of my writing. In my basement, in a little room decorated with books, stuff animals. my four-foot 16 century galleon three-mast ship, and the backdrop from Halloween. Oh and the essentials like a printer, paper, paper shredder, and all things office. This is my writing space and it is as different and weird as I am. Don’t get me wrong I can write almost anywhere and I do. But I think it is always helpful to have a space that is uniquely you and that no one is allowed in to do anything and that is yours all yours. A she shed, a man cave, a writers hut as long as it makes you feel good and you are allowed to be creative in it. That’s my Sunday brunch blog advice to you. Yes write, write, write like I said last time but also have a spot. Your spot, your special place that even if you don’t write in it all the time that it is yours and that no one else create in your space. Next blog I’ll give you an tour of my office.

As I new author and writer I get asked quite a lot. When do you find tine to write? Where do you write? So I sat down and thought about it. When I first started writing I wrote every time I had a spare opportunity. On a bus, as a passenger in a car, on an airplane, when I couldn’t find thing on tv to watch. I got some work done but it wasn’t consistent. Then I thought, I want this to become my career. I need to commit more time to doing it and doing it right. I need to treat it like a job. The only difference being it would be a job that I truly enjoyed. I’m a Flight Attendant and I do truly do enjoy flying but I would enjoy writing for a living much better.

So when and where do you write? Many writers I have come to know tell me that they get up before the family and that they write in the dawn hours before the sun comes up. Some say they write after everyone has gone to bed, The twilight hours when the house is quite and your the only sole moving. These times work and they work well. For me I don’t have a set time, I get up, have a cup of coffee, eat some breakfast then go into my office and write, Hum I guess that is a set time. Most times I find myself in Amsterdam or on some long layover in my hotel room alone with a beer and I write. When I’m on a layover I feel free. I can’t solve any problems at home I can’t go anywhere for the most part and I can turn off my phone and be completely alone.

The thing about it all is, if you write for 30 minutes if you write for an hour if you set a word count for how many words you plan to wire a day as long as you get something down on paper you are doing good. Writing is a process, writing is an art, writing is a job, writing is a joy. If you enjoy it, if you get something down a day on paper, if you want nothing more than to write, just sit down and do it. Writing this blog is writing and while it’s not very long right now give me time. As I find my blogging voice they will get longer. I am after all a writer and what do writers do best?…We write.
