Friday 19th January Day 181
It’s washing day today ((Oh your life is so interesting. I really don’t know why you haven’t got millions of followers. It’s a complete mystery)) and more writing to be done. As usual there is someone else using the launderette on the marina site. I think I may have said that we have decided to get a washing machine on board again. It’s such a faff using communal washing machines and within approx 20 washes the machine will have paid for itself. We just need to finish the renovation of the kitchen and dinette so the vinyl flooring can be laid and then the washing machine can go in.
In the afternoon I finally catch up with my online book group chat. ((they spend about 5 mins talking about books!)) These are all people I used to work with at the College library back in the day and we normally catch up on a Friday afternoon via FaceTime but i haven’t managed to make it for maybe the last few weeks due to one thing or another ((mainly napping)). I confess to not finishing the book we were reading for our book group. I made it maybe 150 pages and then gave up. I used to be the kind of person who would always finish a book no matter what, but nowadays life is too short to read a book you’re not that bothered with.
I only stay for an hour to chat as Chris has decided to go into Stafford as we need some shopping and I need quiet time to crack on with my book. I finally feel like i’m making some progress. I decided to rewrite the synopsis and blurb for the book. If you’re struggling with organising the plot or feel like the whole story is slipping from your grasp then i can highly recommend taking a step back and writing the blurb. It gives you a really good overview of the whole novel and helps to fit things into place.
Not much else to report today… day done. x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
