A Head Full of Ideas

Hey! How are you today? I hope you all had an awesome September. Well, October is here and that means that it's officially Halloween season. Though, to be honest, as far as I'm concerned it's always Halloween season. Also, daylight savings is finally here and the days are gett…

July is Here!

Welcome to July! How are you? Can you believe it's the new financial year already? Yikes. Well, it's Friday and I thought it might be nice to post an update. During the last few weeks, I've been updating files and reading. It might be winter around here but I've already go…

Mental Break February!

Hey! How are you today? Long time no blog, huh? 😅 After spending most of January working on a really extensive edit that almost broke my brain, I decided to take this month off. So, what did I do? I spent most of my time reading. Yep. It's been a lot of fun choosing one book after an…

Spring & Writing

Hey! How are you? Hope you're all having a great October! Personally, I think it's going too fast and for some reason, in spite of finding some very cool Halloween stuff, it doesn't feel very Halloweeny this year. Maybe it's because I haven't watched any horror movies…

Hey there!

How are you today? I hope you're having a great October so far. 😊 Last week started with a long weekend (yay!) and the beginning of daylight savings (cool!). That makes me happy because I love the longer summer days. And the weather is already pretty warm, so it looks like we might b…

Last day of September...

Can you believe another month is almost over? Yikes. So, how are you? What have you been up to? Anything interesting? This week's update is a little later than usual because I got caught up writing and revising two short stories that I wrote late last week/during the weekend. I didn&#…

Drafts & Sorting

Hey! How's it going? I hope you all managed to have a good week. I know it's hard at the moment because this timeline is all sorts of shitty, and terrible things happen every single day, but like I said last week, we need to find joy in the things we love. So, what did I get up to…

Spring is in the air...

How are you today? I hope you all managed to have a nice week. I know it's hard to stay positive when the world feels so freaking upside down at the moment, but you really have to find your happy place because if you don't, everything can get too overwhelming. Taking care of yours…

September is Here!

Hey, how are you today? How was your week? Mine was a little wonky. Or at least, I felt a little wonky. We've had a few changes in our schedule lately and it's kinda messing around with us. Not to mention that I seem to have forgotten that although I LOVE spring and everything fe…

Hey!

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 …

The Revision is Done!

Hey! How are you today? I hope you all had a great week. Ours started with a long weekend (awesome) and the next four days turned out to be a blur of revision and rain. Yeah, we've been having some shitty weather in NSW. I really hope the sun makes a comeback and sticks around for a w…

More words added...

Hey! How are you today? I hope you're all having an awesome and safe festive season. We're now in the middle of that liminal time between Christmas and New Year's, which always feels a little strange. Something about this particular time of the year seems... unreal. But unlike…

Thinking & Adding

Hey, how's it going?  December is here and for us, that means that the temperature is heating up. That's right, our festive season is in the middle of summer, so we've been having some super hot days this week. And that leads to a bunch of storms. It's actually raining tod…

Thinking Time...

Hi, how are you today? I hope this week treated you well. I've been doing a bunch of different things. A lot of thinking. And sorting. Some spring cleaning. Plenty of reading. For most of this year, I've been so consumed with my own writing/planning and other stuff that reading ha…

Popping in to say...

OMGosh, I just realised that it's been quite a while since I last posted something that wasn't a book review. So, here I am! ☺️ How are you? How's July treating you? What's new? Anything exciting happening in your life at the moment? I have to admit that in some ways, this…

Stories, Stories, Everywhere!

Hey! How are you today? Hope March is treating you well because it's almost over. One more week to go! 😬 I'm looking forward to the four-day weekend. I always look forward to time off with my husband. So, the last two weeks have been super busy for me. I've been working on e…

A Bit of an Update

Hey! How are you today? Long time no see. Well, I've been posting book reviews, but not much else. Why? After an extensive novel revision (Jan) followed by an extensive novel edit (Jan/Feb), my husband took a two-week break and we had an awesome time! ☺️ When he went back to work, I w…

NaNoWriMo is almost here...

Since I finally signed up the other day and have been thinking about the story non-stop, I thought I'd post a little something about the upcoming National Novel Writing Month. 😅  NaNoWriMo  is something I've been doing since way back in 2006. Since then, it's become an annu…

I finally signed up!

Hey! How are you today? Well, it's that time of the year again. But this time it took me a little longer to pick a story idea because I couldn't decide on a story. Until yesterday. 😧 So tonight, I officially signed up for NaNoWriMo 2023 . Yay!! Here's the very brief descripti…

This Novella is Done!

Hey, how are you today? What's new with you? This week, I've been busy working on the final read-thru of my current revision project. That's when I sit down with my Paperwhite and read the story from start to finish. It's also when any weird sentences or  repetition really…
