I have really turned a 'page'

Taken from the balcony - I'm not even joking.

I am writing this post from Verbier in Switzerland and having a rather lovely time. I am here for work but since I decided to change things up a bit and get rid of all my excess baggage that I talked about in my last post here, there has been a subtle shift in how I feel about everything. Any free time this week has been spent exploring this beautiful town and just taking in being surrounded by the most incredible beauty of the mountains. No fondue as of yet but I have found the restaurant in which the fondue eating shall take place so it's only a matter of time now, my love.

I have been writing in tiny bursts when I can and have something I want to quickly talk about that has been a game changer for me: the app Pages. As I have been so busy recently and haven't had the chance to sit down properly at my laptop and write, I wanted something I could use on my phone so I could write on the go. I initially downloaded the Microsoft Word app but after finding that one a giant faff, I came across the app Pages that was already pre-loaded on my iPhone. With this (wonder of an) app, I have sent it all the word documents I've already set up with ideas for my book, plus old drafts, and am able to work on and refer to them whenever I need to. I have also been able to create new documents that I can email to myself in word format and download back onto my laptop. It's truly brilliant and means I won't waste any time and can just get on with it. With regards to the book itself, I am still bloody excited about the idea and the writing I have been able to fit in, I am immensely pleased with. At the pace I am going though I will probably finish it when I am in my fifties but with my new-found sense of calm, I'm just going to sit back, be happy and eat all the Swiss chocolate.

Until next time.
