An author's Early Morning

More often than not I am awake by 6 a.m. when I make a cup of Rooibus tea and switch on the laptop.

By six o'clock this morning, my painful back a little better in spite of the osteopath's treatment on Tuesday, I started work.

At the moment, amongst other things, I am working on pre-edits of my new novel set in the reign of Queen Anne Stuart 1702-1714. I have highlighted the words on MuseItUppublishing's pre-edit list e.g. around instead of round as in she looked around not she looked round, toward instead of towards and as.

The pre-edits tighten the novel, and while I'm going through them I'm also tweaking it. Hopefully, I can finish a chapter a day and keep up with other commitments.

I revised a chapter, had breakfast and then checked my e-mails.

It's now quarter past ten and almost time to turn off the laptop and get on with the day until 4 p.m. when I shall review a novel, critique a chapter of another novel and get on with other 'writerly' matters.

Repercussion, Writing and Web Site

Yesterday my back hurt from my neck to the base of my spine. Ouch. Not sure whether or not to continue with the osteopath. Is this a case of no gain without pain or pain without gain. I have been treated by osteopath's in the past but have never had such violent reactions after two sessions.

To add to my problems, yesterday afternoon my laptop went into hibernation so I couldn't blog and failed to keep up with some other 'writerly' activities.

Today has been a good day. My back still hurts but not as much although I don't feel any improvement. I completed the pre-edits for Chapter Eight of another novel set in the reign of Queen Anne Stuart 1702 - 1714. My web designer Twin Technology owned by my twins sons have updated the first two pages of my website. www.rosemarymorris.co.uk. As soon as possible I shall be updating the rest of it, bit by bit.

Visited an Osteopath today

Visited an osteopath today, my back is painful, partly due to the hours I spend writing etc., on the laptop and computer. I must find time to go swimming more often and make sure I walk round the green every day.


It's my second visit to this osteopath. Last time all the muscles in my back burned on the next day, but I'm still hoping the treatment will improve my back.
