A welcome break

I know it's Tuesday today, so that means it's supposed to be Tuesday Tunes , but this week's going to be super wonky. So far, none of the days feel right. It almost feels like the weekend will last all the way until next Monday. lol. That's okay. It gives me an excuse …

MAGIC IN THE BLOOD

Christmas Eve...

... is here. And I'm in a great mood today. Maybe it's because after today the hubby gets four days off. Yay. Or maybe I just get into the Christmas spirit a little late. lol. Whatever it is, that's cool. Today I don't plan to get much done. And you know what? That'…

Hey!

We're in mid-week territory already. That means that Christmas is only a few days away. I always find it strange how the build up for this starts at the beginning of the month and then it's over in one day. Gone, forgotten. Very strange when you actually stop to think about it. …

The heat of summer is here

OMG. How can a picture be super spooky and so darn cute at the same time? Well, that's exactly what this one is. It kinda reminds me of Alyce. She seems to hide from herself a lot. Of course, she's got plenty to want to run from. lol. Anyway. I missed yesterday. The day just s…

I love it when a plan comes together

I can't believe I've actually got the time to write a post before picking my daughter up from school. Lol. But here I am. Using some of my reading time yesterday afternoon to work on revisions worked out great. I managed to finish the 112 page ms just now. Yay. The word count i…

BEAUTIFUL DEAD: Arizona

This Is War... is awesome!

On Friday, I found out that the official release date for the latest 30 Seconds to Mars album here in Australia was the 4th. So, we ducked out to the shops on Saturday and picked up our copy. Okay, after hearing Kings and Queens , as well as This Is War , I knew that the album would be g…

My 4th NaNoWriMo goal has been met!

50k mark . I was so in the groove last night, I could've written until I got to the end of the novel. But I didn't, I stopped. I was so happy to have completed another NaNoWriMo that I didn't mind. :) I've already popped into the NaNo website and scrambled my novel so tha…

Garbage & other stuff

Do you ever wake up feeling more tired than when you went to sleep? Well, that's exactly how I felt this morning. Actually, I've felt like that every morning this week. Lol. I've just been packing in so much into every day -- physically and mentally. I find that I'm mental…

Well, I'm back... even though I didn't go anywhere

Yikes! The last four days have been filled with stuff, and fun. Been doing a lot of writing things too, like adding words to my NaNoWriMo novel , completing several rounds of edits, and proofreading a few things before they're finalised. Phew. Busy, busy. But it's been great. I ab…

Hot-hot-hot

Yes, we've had some scorching hot days this week and today's another hot one. Seriously. Still, I'm not going to complain. Love summer. Looks like the sky's clouding over though. Might be getting another thunderstorm this evening. I just hope it holds out until I get my d…

It's the end of week 1...

...and this is my word count: 15,720 . I'm very excited about the progress. If you remember the beginning of the week, I wasn't even sure that I was ready to get stuck into NaNoWriMo . Now, not only did I start the novel, but I'm totally hooked. There are so many things going …

I ran out time this arvo...

...it's something that seems to happen a lot! Especially if I'm in the middle of a writing whirlwind. I might have started this novel a little slow, but now that my brain and muse have finally gotten together, they're planning up a storm! Lol. When I stopped writing this after…

Finding the groove

Wow! I finished reading an awesome book yesterday afternoon. FLASHFORWARD was amazing! You can read my review below. Now, I have no idea what the TV show 's like, but this story was so intoxicating that I couldn't get it outta my head. Seriously, it was great! Well, I might be a …

It's that spooky time of the year...
