Writer Problems#10: Productivity!

So, this is something I have obviously struggled with the last few years. I have done very little in
terms of blogging and I haven't written much. This is because, when I come in from a long day of work in the office or an eight hour shift on my feet, I am so tired and instantly lack productivity!

We have to find ways to be productive. Different things work for different people. Much like revising for upcoming exams, you have to find the motivation to be productive in your efforts to become a writer.

Here is a list of 25 productivity secrets from some of the greatest minds throughout history.

My Top 10 Films of 2016.

2016 was an interesting year in the world of Hollywood. At the moment, we are seeing a lot of sequels and the continuation of various franchises. Actually, I must say that a lot of my films were new things or book adaptations or stories that took a franchise in a new direction.

Here are my top 10 films of 2016. Please note that this is based on my own personal enjoyment. I cannot wait to see what 2017 has to offer.

1. Deadpool
2. 10 Cloverfield Lane
3. Zootropolis/Zootopia
4. The Girl With All The Gifts
5. Arrival
6. Hail, Caesar!
7. The Girl On The Train
8. Collateral Beauty
9. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them
10. Moana

My 2017 Resolutions.

Okay so following my reflections on aspirations post, here are my resolutions for 2017. Obviously, anything I can tick off of my B425 List is also a huge help.

My goals:

• Lose weight and get in shape
• Go to New Zealand
• Plan wedding with my gorgeous fiancee. 
• Buy a house
• Find a new job
• Read every Anne Rice book (I haven't read quite a few of her new ones and non Vampire Chronicles ones)
• Write again.

That's it, I think. I don't want to overload myself as I think it's going to be a really big year for me. I want to travel. I mean I have been saying I'll go to New Zealand every year for the past five years at least! At least in 2017 I will do it - and I truly feel that my partner and I need to do this trip before we have mortgage payments to consider every month. We will hopefully take some serious strides in planning our wedding and hopefully, this time next year, I will be writing to you from our very own house.
