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. |
| Well, Sir Cursoralot and I had another good writing day together. My main character Mason, must be wondering what the hell has happened. He's on the move and from scene to scene, and for once, he had a positive day. A little win in what so far has been one horror find after another. Sir Cursoralot will be able to sit back and have a beer once I've finished my little entry here. Today was so hot you could cook an egg on the footpath. I am so grateful that for me it wasn't a work day and I could stay at home in the air con with my furkids. We had a little vet visit, and all is well. Well, aside from one having 2 ear infections, and one of the others is still healing a hotspot that has been on his face for about 5 weeks. I am just so lucky that he loves the cone of shame!! Yep, that's right, He LOVES the cone of shame!!! What dog loves the cone??? My beautiful boy, that's who. He's been such a good kid. But I don't understand. The dogs at work get hotspots all the time in the kennels, and they don't wear bloody cones, and they are usually cleaned up within a week. Oh well. Rowan is on some more meds just to clear up the final itchys and hope that will be that. I love that boy!! One of my girls who is 14.5 years old has had this weird growth on her toe, which looked like a tumour. My mind, of course, goes straight to the worst-case scenario, and she has cancer and is going to die. Thankfully, after 3 weeks of strong antibiotics, the swelling went down, the tumour has changed and in look and size, and the vet said that although she still isn't completely sure what is happening there, she highly doubts it's cancer because of how well she has responded to the meds. It will probably always be a bit odd, but as long as it's safe, I don't care!! What a day!!! Tomorrow, work. How has your day been and what worries do your furbabies put you through?? Rest now Sir Cursoralot. We may not get a chance to do much tomorrow so enjoy your time off. |
