Sorting, Sorting & More Sorting

Hi! How are you today? Even though the world is currently a bizarre mess, I hope you're able to find good vibes and happiness to make your days better. I swear this timeline is the most ridiculous timeslip ever. It's like people had a chance to turn their backs on evil fucks, and …

Reading, Writing & Revising

Hey! It's me again. How are you today? What did you get up to this week? Personally, I got a bunch of stuff done. Initially, I planned to concentrate on reading, and to be honest, it did start that way. On Monday, I read and thoroughly enjoyed the novelisation of The Lost Boys . I fi…

August's Revision Begins...

Hey! How are you today? How is this week treating you? So, our state (NSW) is still on mockdown and will stay this way until the end of this month. For us, that means staying the hell away from everyone, wearing masks as soon as we step out of the apartment, buying groceries once a week …

June's Revision Begins...

Hey! How are you today? Long time no blog. 😁 I actually took a two week mental break and spent most of it reading, sorting my stationery and prepping for the next revision project. That's right! This week started with a public holiday, and then I got stuck into another first draft. I…

May's Revision Begins...

Hey! How are you today, and how's your week going? I spent mine doing a bit of revision. Yep. It was definitely time to get stuck into my 2021 Revision Plans . Well, technically I started last month by completing the edit of Wall of Dolls , but this month I'm starting on the many …

A Week of Editing!

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…

Another Week

That's right! It's Friday .  And this week, I'm happy to say that I completed several writing projects I had on my to-do list. Yay. 😁 These are things I've had on my mental to-be-done list for a while. Things I constantly carried in the back of my mind but, for on…

2018 Goals

So, the year is slowly winding down, and that makes it a good time to look back at the Goals List I posted at the beginning of the year. There were a bunch of writing and reading goals on my list. As well as a few other things too. Here's how everything turned out: Contin…

My Latest Project

See this chunky blue folder? This is my latest project.  It's full of my teenage writing. I've been carrying it around with me for years, and until a few weeks ago it sat in the laundry cupboard, forgotten. But when we went through the clutter, I decided to keep it out. …

Spring Cleaning during Summer

So, how are you today?  As I mentioned the last time I blogged , after my daughter started sorting out her room I was inspired to do the same. So I've had a very busy couple of weeks tackling my own  Spring Cleaning Project . It turned out to be a pretty big project that wormed…

Current WIP: Week Three

Hello, and welcome to my third current WIP update! So, how was your week? Did you get much done? Did you meet your goals? Did you have a to-do list full of stuff like I did? I put together a to-do list every Sunday, and cross things off as I go. It's a great way to keep track…

Current WIP: Week Two

Welcome to my second WIP update!  So, how are you today? How's the week treating you? Here in Oz, it's finally  starting to feel like spring. There was quite a bit of rain last week and we even had a freak hailstorm on Friday night, but this week has been mostly blue skies …

Current WIP: Week One

Hi! How are you? Are you having a nice week? I started a new WIP, and I couldn't be happier. If you've been reading my posts this year then you know that between short story writing, real life stuff, completing several detailed drafts of a novel and (totally) cluttered b…

Long Time No Blog

Hey! How are you? What have you been up to? Wow. I can't believe I haven't posted an update since the beginning of the month. BUT, in my defence, July has been a pretty active month.  For starters, hubby took two weeks off from work for an overdue break. And my daughter…

Sometimes Plans Change

Hey! How was your week? I started the week with this plan: And instead ended up doing this: Yep. Instead of losing myself in new story ideas with a nice combination of daydreaming and brainstorming, I ended up sorting through my never-ending toy, collectibles and statione…

Another week of Stuff

Hey! I somehow managed to get a lot done during my daughter's last week of school holidays. Even with a public holiday thrown into the middle of it. Actually, I wrote a 3,431-word short story on that day. We got the chance to sleep in on Wednesday and while checking my Twitter ti…

What's been going on?

It's been a while since I popped in, right? April is turning out to be quite a busy month. Between school holidays, a strata meeting (glad it's done for another year), Loki's vaccine & checkup (everything's cool), plus a hundred other real life things, I forgot …

Revision: Week Two

Well, another busy week is over. Phew. I can't believe how fast this month is moving. I mean, I know Feb is a short one but I'm not ready for summer to be over. O.o Anyway, I had one thing to achieve: Finish the third draft of my YA horror novel, Haunted .  And... I re…

Revision: Week One

Hey! It's been a while since I posted a writing update. Or any update, really. LOL. January kinda slipped away before I had a chance to really grasp it. My daughter was on summer break and the new year always takes some getting used to, so I spent most of last month reading, or…

2017 Goals

The year is winding down, so I thought this might be a good time to look back at the Goals List I posted at the beginning of the year. My list included a bunch of writing stuff, but also several non-writing related things.  Anyway, here's the original list & how I actual…
