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! Long time no blog. Well, I did post reviews, but I haven't provided any updates lately. So, how are you? How's life treating you? How are you coping with this never-ending global pandemic situation and the foolish behaviour of those people who refuse to stop acting like…

Hi, how are you today? What's new in your part of the world? Hope you're all staying safe. Can you believe another month is almost over? As if living through a pandemic isn't fucked up enough, this week has added more disgraceful acts of violence by racist assholes to t…

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 …

That's right. Today is the first day of NaNoWriMo  and I got stuck into it first thing this morning. 😃 My plan for today was to write the first chapter. I was aiming for 3k, but any word count was going to make me happy because all I wanted to do was get the story started. …

So, is a break packed with stuff really a break? It is when you can sleep past 4am every morning and do the stuff  you  want. The first week of hubby's two-week annual leave is almost over, and there's only one word I can use to describe it. That's right, it's aweso…

This week I'm going to talk about the state of my WIPs.  Not just because my head's been buzzing with stuff , but because I've been juggling and brainstorming and writing a bunch of different stories at the same time. There are several characters trying to grab my atten…

Yep. I finally did it! I signed up. Today is Friday, and after spending the beginning of the week picking out a handful of possible ideas, as well as letting the loudest fill my mind... I'm excited about my pick. The novel I'll be working on during NaNoWriMo 2018 will …

Hey! How are you today? I'm good, though I was better last week when hubby was still on annual leave, and we slept in and had an awesome relaxing time. Now, it's time to get back into the swing of things. And this month, that means thinking about my next writing project. …

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…

Hey! I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. We don't celebrate religious holidays, we just celebrate having long weekends. And this was an awesome one. We enjoyed the hell out of our four days together by sleeping in, relaxing in the morning, going for a lovely long drive, eati…

Well, my intention was to take it easy because I was feeling a bit wonky earlier in the week... but of course I ended up doing a bunch of stuff. After being totally consumed by my own story, I got the chance to actually catch up on some reading. I finally finished reading FULL DAR…

I've mentioned (several times) how important I find artwork when it comes to getting ideas, and even building on them. It's something that's always happened, but has been even stronger during the last few years. The other day, I stumbled on a very cool image on Twitter. …

It's hereeeeeeee! (whispers in creepy Poltergeist movie voice)  Can you believe NaNoWriMo is here again? Or that it's actually November? The year is moving fast. Too fast, if you ask me. As I mentioned in my post last month , of course I'm taking part in NaNoWri…

Hey! What's up? This week has been a loooooong one. It feels like we packed so much  stuff into it. I'm serious. By the time Wednesday rolled around,  I was already exhausted and wishing it was Friday. O_o But you gotta keep moving. Anyway, this is what I wanted to do this…

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.  …

Actually, that's not technically correct because I have posted several book reviews and even a Q&A with an Aussie author ... but I haven't added any actual update posts for a while. So, how are you? This month has been an excellent one. We've enjoyed a bunch of adve…

The other day I posted this tweet on Twitter: Writing is hard work. But it's also exciting, fun, something I'm compelled to do, and yes... even cool. :) I have a bunch of ideas cluttering my brain at any given time, but when I get stuck into a WIP I usually get so co…

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 …
