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…

The Last Month of the Year is here!

Hey! Long time no see. 😁 How are you? What's going on? How's December treating you so far? Well, it's finally summer in Sydney and the weather has been totally nuts. It's either raining and the temp drops dramatically, or it's too hot and so sunny that stepping outsid…

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…

So Many Short Stories!

How are you today? Did you have a nice week? Although the rain stuck around last weekend, it eventually went away during the week. So we finally got a chance to catch up on the washing and went for walks around the river without pesky umbrellas. But it's supposed to come back. 🙄 The …

It's August!

Hey! Can you believe how fast the year is going?! Yikes. 😳 So, how are you? I hope you're having a cool week. Here, in Sydney, the weather took a turn for the miserable on Wednesday. And it's been raining since. It's also freaking cold. I dislike being cold. At least it's…

Watching, Revising & Reading

Hey, how's it going? I hope you're having a great day. This week turned out to be great, as far as my writing goals and spending time with my husband, but it was the worst for dealing with people. I seriously hate that the general population doesn't seem to understand common c…

Sorta Break

Hi, how are you today? I hope everything is okay in your corner of the world. I know it's hard at the moment because there are so many crappy things going on all the time, but that's why it's important to find happiness. So, after spending last week doing an intense round of e…

Writing, Watching, Reading...

Hey! How are you today? What did you get up to this week? We started ours with a public holiday, so that was great. What isn't great is how cold it is. As soon as June started, the temperature has dropped dramatically and I'm already over it. Well, we finally watched SINNERS  and …

My Version of a Week Off...

How's it going? Well, Friday's finally here and when my husband gets home, the long weekend begins. And then, next week, we have another long weekend, followed by a week off. Can't wait! But first we're going to enjoy the next three days. 😁 This week turned out to be a l…

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…

A Week Full of Stories!

Hey, how are you today? I hope you're having a great week. As you know, I finished an extensive (3-week) novel revision last Thursday night and when I woke up on Good Friday, I was mentally exhausted. Seriously drained. So I really enjoyed the four-day break with my husband. Lots of …

Checking In!

Hey! How are you? Can you believe we're almost halfway through March? Yikes. So, my husband went back to work this week, which is the worst after we had such a great break together. It's always hard to get back into the swing of things and I intended to take it easy. Of course, fo…

February is here!

Can you believe that January is finally over?! Yikes. I mean, didn't January feel like it went on forever? One week felt like one month, and for a while there it felt like it would last the whole year. 😳 How are you? I hope you're still finding some happiness in this terrible wo…

Busy, busy...

Hey there! How are you today? As I mentioned in the title, this week was a busy one. Last Saturday we got the latest Covid booster (finally available in Oz) and had to take it easy over the weekend because of the usual side effects: headache, sore arm, tired, sleepy. We had plenty of snac…

Checking In!

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…

NaNoWriMo: Week Two

Hi! How are you today?  What's new? Well,  NaNoWriMo is in full swing, and that means that most of my time is spent writing.  Yep. I'm totally  getting lost in this unhinged story and enjoying every minute of it. 😅 I'm at that stage where the scenes are coming fast and I can…

Reading 2023

HAPPY NEW YEAR! A new year means a new Goodreads Reading Challenge: So, this is when I say: I want to read 100 books this year. 😁 I also usually give myself mini-challenges, but this year I'm not going to do that.  During 2023 I want to read any novel, short story, novella or nov…

2022 Goals

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…

Took a Break & Ended Up Doing Stuff

Hey! How are you today? What have you been up to? It's Friday, so I'm looking forward to this afternoon so we can start the weekend. 😍 As you probably already know, I always like to take a few weeks off between writing projects. But this time, I did things a bit differently. I…

A Bit of Writing

Hey! How's it going? Well, the new year isn't so new anymore, is it? Actually, as far as the world is concerned, it's still the same old pandemic crap. 😒 Things in NSW are pretty bad. The case numbers are out of control, getting a PCR test is virtually impossible, RATs are so…
