Blog of a newbie writer and her adventures with Sir Cursoralot - my cursor friend and foe.

First time at writing a novel, first time blogging at 51. Bloody hell, this will be interesting.

I am writing under my pen name Amare (pronounced Ar - Mah - Ray) which is latin for my real name.

I am a proud Aussie who lives in Queensland on an acre property with my husband and our 3 beautiful furkids (golden retrievers)
I am a puppy educator for Guide Dogs for the blind and love the sense of achievement when we see one of our amazing pups go on to change the life of a vision impaired person. Raised 6 pups myself before working full time. A very satisfying and rewarding job.

Now I'm trying to achieve something more personal for myself as a writer, a journey and maybe success just for me.

Also working on self belief, self love, building my confidence, self growth and believing I'm worth something. Not an easy task.

So come on a journey with me. Hopefully it will be a fun read from time to time, and it will be bluntly honest.

My main character, Mason and Sir Cursoralot are getting a little bit impatient with me this week as I have not moved Mason on from his current state of affairs.

I'm afraid Sir Cursoralot and I left Mason having downed a good few Nurofen and listening to the house settle around him. After a horrific day of discoveries, he never imagined in his wildest dreams, Mason contemplated returning downstairs for some scotch but couldn't convince his feet to walk one step further, let alone down and up the stairs again this night.

And that, my friends, is where I left him. I hope to come to his rescue sometime over the coming weekend and move him from one dreadful day of discoveries to the next. He probably deserves a good amount of rest so that when Sir Cursoralot and I get him moving again, he has the energy to face what is still to come.

More Than a Journey Home: my first novel draft - work in progress.

What do you use to banish writer's block away?
