Getting Organised to Write

Yep…pretty much needed this. If anyone out there is a writer, this is a good post to look into 🙂

This year I thought I would try and get a bit more organised with writing. Below are a few templates to help sketch an outline and to keep track of important dates. My writing process leans toward ‘flying by the seat of your pants’. I do a bit of outlining to help keep on track and to act as a reminder. You are welcome to use these templates for your own writing process. I hope you find them useful.

Keeping Track

It can be helpful to set a few goals. By laying out what sections you need to do as part of the process to keep track throughout the year. I do not stick to my goals or my outlines, but it is handy to go back and change them. If is great for going back and finding what worked and how much you achieved. Being stuck in the process can…

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation

This is something I want to work on. Let’s all spread kindness and serve others 🙂

Very Punny

After doing this random acts of kindness awareness saga, I can definitly recommend you to do it as well. It is a really positive and helpful thing to do which also makes you feel a little better and makes you believe that you are beginning to make a change.

Although I’m not going to bore you with my kindness acts every day from now on, I am still going to make an effort to continue to do it.

Some things to do that I recommend are:

Putting someone’s newspaper closer to their door

Sticking some nice notes around the house for others to read

Leave a comment on someone’s blog (read a lovely post about that here)

Donate old clothes to charity

Compliment a Stranger

Smile!

I also recommend checking out the Reach Out website for more ideas.

Kindness is something that…

Buying Books on a Budget!

Check this out! Salmah has a great perspective and point about buying and pirating books. Check this out for more helpful info 🙂

Salmah's Bookshelf

I decided to make this post because I see  a lot of people pirating books. It hurts authors a lot and it really isn’t necessary. I was recently reading Victoria Aveyard’s tumblr blog and I saw a lot of fans justifying this practice. (Apparently there are people who spend time typing up ENTIRE manuscripts to post on Wattpad!!!) There are so many ways to make book buying affordable and legal ! I recognize I’m a 25 year old college graduate who makes more money than most people my age. So yes, I am able to buy a lot of books on impulse. However, it wasn’t always like this. I thought it would be helpful to share ways to keep up with your reading habits without spending a lot of money…all while keeping it legal! *Note: Sadly, most of this will only apply to North American readers but some do apply to…
