Tuesday top tip - drink some water

 

Staying properly hydrated is very important for our health – and it's generally easier to write if we feel well.

Water is the cheapest way to stay hydrated and generally the easiest to obtain. It doesn't rot our teeth, make us fat, or give us a headache the next morning. So go and drink a glass RIGHT NOW! 

Still here? In that case, how about downloading this free short story collection?

  1. Love it Patsy & the photo of your pal there. Personally I'd prefer a nice cuppa myself, sugar free of course.

  2. That’s a very timely reminder to me, Patsy. Usually I’m someone who is good about drinking water, but I realise that recently I have been really bad about it. I’m off to fill a glass now!

  3. If only it was more interesting... but then, putting the flavours in, unless natural fruits, and yes, we can do that, is all the extra (empty) calories and rubbish we get from bought drinks. I wish I could swap my umpteen cups of tea for water...

  4. Good advice, and a necessary prompt for me as I am very bad at remembering to drink enough water. And aren't we so lucky that we can just turn on a tap and there it is, and it's still clean enough that we don't have to fear every day what might be lurking there or agonise about giving it to small children.

  5. Good advice, thank you!

    I've just seen that Irish Country Magasine have updated their competition - https://irishcountrymagazine.ie/short-story/
    I smiled to see that the new theme is "motherhood in all its forms" since pretty much all the stories I write at the moment are somehow linked to my Mum's dementia, and/or her passing. Maybe I'll give it a miss!

  6. Oh great, many thanks Ruth, for passing that on. I think the theme is pretty tricky. I've loads of family stories but not many that fit that theme. I'm sorry to hear about your mum.
