Hey, remember me? 😃 It's been a while since I posted because I've been caught in an endless loop of editing all month. And now, the first month of 2026 is almost over. Yikes. So, how are ya? How are we all surviving during the weirdest timeline ever? It's too much, isn't …

Hey! How are you today? Hope you had an awesome week. I can't believe July is almost over. A few weeks ago I completed the first edit of my upcoming novel, Fallen Destiny . And this week, I read the proof. From start to finish. Yeah, I worked really hard on this edit. I enjoy smoothi…

Hey! How are you today? I hope you're well and finding some happiness and fun during the shittiest timeline ever. 🙄 Every single morning there's a new stupid and cruel thing happening. It's awful to watch. I wish people had paid proper attention and saw exactly what we did. B…

Hey there! How are you today? As I mentioned in the title, this week was a busy one. Last Saturday we got the latest Covid booster (finally available in Oz) and had to take it easy over the weekend because of the usual side effects: headache, sore arm, tired, sleepy. We had plenty of snac…

Hey, it's been a while! How are you? Is everything okay in your part of the world? Over here, we're in the last month of autumn (which felt a lot like summer until a few weeks ago) and we're currently stuck in the middle of some very shitty weather. If you've read my posts…

Hey! How are you today? It's been a SUPER busy week, and it's left me feeling mentally exhausted. To be honest, the shitty weather didn't help. 😫 I'm SO glad the weekend is finally here! Anyway, my goal for this week was to get through the third draft of the unhinged/wild…

Hey! It's been a while, so I thought I'd pop in and post a little something about what's been going on this month. 😊 But firstly, how are you? Hope this month has treated you well. I've been very busy during April.  The month started with a long weekend. It was an excelle…

Hey! How are you today? It's time to post another New Year tradition on my blog. I've been posting a screenshot of my previous year's Word Count Tracking Sheets for a while. So, why stop now? 😁 So, here are my 2022 stats: Total words written: 160,534. Total pages revised 3,…

That's right! After completing an edit last week, this week I got stuck into another Revision Project. 😁 So, how are you? It's been a while since I blogged because hubby had annual leave in April and I took a small writing break. We had a great time together, but now it's ti…

Hey! How are you today? It's time for me to post another New Year tradition on my blog. I've posted a screenshot of my previous year's Word Count Tracking Sheets for a while now.  So, here are my 2021 stats:      Total words written: 159,431.   Total pages revised 6,109.  Al…

Well, I know it's Thursday, but today I finished my latest Revision Project so I thought I'd pop in. How are you? The Covid situation around here still sucks. The numbers have been just below 1k daily this week and the vaccination numbers are going up, but I doubt I'll ever …

Well, it's Friday and I thought I'd pop in to post an update. Things in NSW are going from bad to worse. We've been suffering through this half-arsed mockdown for 8 WEEKS now and instead of getting better, the case number are getting out of control. We've had 600+ cases fo…

Hello again! Well, this week, it was back to editing for me. This time it was the final edit of my upcoming YA horror novel, Wall of Dolls . Because I'm such a double checker (or is that glutton for punishment? 😂) of course I read the whole thing again. This time felt more like a pro…

Yep. This week I only had one goal: to get the second Wall of Dolls edit done.  And I'm super excited to report that I did it! Yay. Today, I finished up the last section, went through all the notes I'd written for myself, and checked all my changes. Then, I emailed it to my edit…

After a week away from my current WIP, I got stuck into the next round of revision. This is what I like to call the read-thru. It's when I read the novel on my Paperwhite. Changing devices is a great way to see the story differently, and anything that doesn't work REALLY st…

Well. It looks like 2017 is in full swing. I know that it (technically) started a few weeks ago, but I don't think it's ever too late to talk about goals. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I don't do New Year's resolutions. The word resolution  s…

At the beginning of 2015 and 2016 , I posted a screenshot of my Tracking Sheets for the previous year. It helped to see how many words I wrote, how many pages I edited/revised. It also helped me see which months were more and less productive. Thanks to Sidney Bristol , who shares t…

Around this time last year I posted about the very cool  Tracking Sheets  I'd found via Twitter. More specifically, I mentioned they were very handy spreadsheets made by author Sidney Bristol .   Since I just downloaded the 2016 versions , I thought I'd post my 2015 summary…

That's right! It's Michael Myers month, everybody.   Also happens to be the birthday month of both my hubby and my daughter. And the time to celebrate all things spooky. That time of year where all I want to do is read scary books and watch horror movies. When it's ti…

I'm the kind of writer who likes to keep tallies. Whether I'm writing a first draft, revising, or editing I always set a goal date, which means setting smaller daily goals to get the project done by that certain date. I also write down how many words/pages I get done/through eac…
