Hey! How are you today? How's this week treating you? The world is still insane, so I know it's weird to ask. But still, it's nice to check in. To make sure we're all okay. So, Australia is still on lockdown and is going to stay that way for another four weeks. Th…

Hey! Long time no blog. I was going to post a general update about what I've been doing this month: walking, thrifting, reading, writing... and since the running thread in all of those things is stories , I decided it might be cool to concentrate on THAT. After all, this month …

Since finishing my latest first draft a few weeks ago, I've been thinking about how I work through each draft. Especially first drafts. So I thought I'd post a bit about how I tackle these projects by allocating daily, weekly and monthly goals. I always find it easier to b…

Hey! How's it going? There goes another week. Man, they sure go fast! O_o Although I plan to embark on a new WIP this month, I just wasn't ready to start yet. Not so close to the revision I just finished. Not when I wanted to think and brainstorm some more. So, I spent …

That's right! Can you believe winter is finally over? That's a good thing because I'm done wearing layers of clothes. Ugh. Besides, I hate how my hands are always cold and sore enough for the skin to tear. Ouch! I'm so ready for spring. Although, I'm not sure abo…

Welcome to a new month. OMG. Can you believe it's August already? AUGUST! Why is the year moving so fast? O.o Anyway. A new month means new plans. A new set of goals to tackle. Especially since July was mostly hubby break time with a side of sorting + researching. LOL.  …

Um, okay.  Technically , that's not correct. And yet, it is. Although I am  getting stuck into a new WIP, I have a bit of a head start. Why? Well, that's what I thought I'd talk about today. I did mention this on Twitter yesterday when I posted my daily update, but it …

Last week I posted this tweet: While that's totally true, shortly after posting it, I realised that since my daughter went back to school several weeks ago, I  haven't started writing anything new. Asides from book reviews, that is. So, I  decided to write a blog post…

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to start writing my March short story soon. I had an idea ready to go, and even a market to send it to. I was also positive it would take two-three days to write the first draft. So, after weeks of this story simmering in my mind, I got…

Yep. I did it! This week, I officially signed up for NaNoWriMo 2016 . THIS IS ME ! :) It's fine and dandy to decide that I'm going to take part, but it doesn't count if I don't sign up. So... I signed into the website the other day, added a dodgy 'cover' …

Yes. They certainly do.   Remember the last time I dropped in I mentioned that I was taking a week off and then would get stuck into writing a new story? Well, things didn't exactly work out that way.   By the time I reached the end of last week, I realised that I hadn'…

Yep. This year is already full of them. We sold our car, my daughter started high school, hubby's super busy at work, I'm planning my 2013 projects... Like I said, change s.    The one that's affecting me right now is the different schedules. This month, the time we get…

Really, go away.  It's been raining all this week, and it totally sucks! I'm so over it. I have to wear my raincoat every single day and it's cold, too. We're supposed to have moved past the cold, shitty weather. O_o <--- I took this photo this morning, during my d…

Yeah. This has been a weird week. Not a real busy one, because I didn't really give myself any deadlines to meet, but I did do a lot of cleaning, reshuffling, moving, recycling, and reorganising of my bookshelves and writing stuff. Phew. There was a lot to organise, but at …
