HAPPY NEW YEAR!  ☺️🎉 Let's hope that 2026 is the year the world gets back on track. Fingers crossed.  Personally, I don't make New Year resolutions, but I like adding a goals list to my blog every January because that's much easier to accomplish. Here are my 2026 Goals: Conti…

Hey! How's it going? I hope you all had an awesome festive season. Since December is coming to an end, it's time for me to take a look at  the goals I posted back in January . Looking back at what I wanted to achieve versus what I did achieve is always interesting. And I have to …

How are you today? Can you believe May is almost over? Yikes. For us, that means winter starts tomorrow. 😫 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the colder months and shorter days, but what can you do? As long as the overcast days are balanced out with sunny days, I'm cool. LOL. I intended …

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  ☺️🎉 I hope that 2025 is an awesome year for all of us. For me, January usually feels like a clean slate, but this year I'm carrying forward a project. In the past, by the time December hits, I'm mentally exhausted and stop working on new stuff. But this past Dece…

Well, it's time to grab the goals list I put together/posted back in January, to see how I went. This year turned out to be a very strange one. Lots of cool stuff happened, and some not-very cool stuff happened as well. Some shitty people revealed themselves and some disappointing cra…

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ☺️🎉 The beginning of January always feels like a clean slate. A time to make personal plans and goals. A chance to get stuck into new things or continue doing the familiar, but with a new twist. So, it's time for me to post my 2024 Goals. I don't like to make New …

Well, we've almost reached the end of 2023, so I suppose it's time to chat about my goals. This year turned out to be packed full of stuff. My husband became a bus driver, which flipped our routine. I managed to get my writing back on track after spending so much of the last few y…

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,…

Welcome to my 2023 Goals post. 😁 I'm not a big fan of resolutions because they don't usually stick, but goals are a different story. I love putting together a goals list at the beginning of the year, and post them here. These are the things I'd like to achieve/continue to do …

Well, here we are again. We've almost reached the end of another year. And boy did 2022 turn out to be quite a weird, and often shitty, year. I thought 2021 was bad, but things are not getting better. Nope. I'm not sure what's happening to the cosmic order of things, but it fe…

Last year, while working on the edit for WALL OF DOLLS , I decided it was time to put a Revision Plan  together... It took me well over a year to complete this goal. I started in April 2021 and finished September 2022. The plan was long and involved a lot of hard work, but I committed b…

Welcome to my 2022 Goals post. 😁 I don't like making resolutions, but goals are a different story. And I like to post my yearly goals list here so I can see how I did at the end of the year. These are the things I'd like to achieve/continue to do this year: Go for two daily wal…

So, it turns out that after the hellish year that was 2020, we were kidding ourselves when we expected 2021 to be any better. 😒 We're still in the middle of an awful pandemic. Actually, I would dare to say that even though so many of us are now vaccinated (and even boosted), we'…

Hi! How are you? Can you believe we're almost halfway through August? And it's Friday the 13th today! So make sure you don't catch Jason's attention. 😬🔪 Well, NSW has been on mockdown for seven weeks now and the numbers are still too fucking high. Actually, the cases ar…

Hi, how are you today? I hope you all had a great week. Things in NSW aren't great at the moment. We've had another Covid outbreak, and this time it's that nasty super-contagious strain. So, the compulsory mask wearing is back and so is the social distancing, plus a bunch of o…

Welcome to my 2021 Goals post. 😊  As you might know, I don't make any New Year's resolutions because they don't work. Resolutions are a thing we mention a few times at the beginning of the year and shortly forget about. They don't stick. Instead, I put together a…

So, this hellish and bizarre year is winding down. It's been a year that often felt like five. I still can't believe it's ending because it feels like we've made no real progress in the pandemic department. 😣 I've never had more trouble keeping track of days and …
