Busy January!

Hey, remember me? 😃 It's been a while since I posted because I've been caught in an endless loop of editing all month. And now, the first month of 2026 is almost over. Yikes. So, how are ya? How are we all surviving during the weirdest timeline ever? It's too much, isn't …

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 Revision & Some Editing!

Hey! How are you today? It's been a SUPER busy week, and it's left me feeling mentally exhausted. To be honest, the shitty weather didn't help. 😫 I'm SO glad the weekend is finally here! Anyway, my goal for this week was to get through the third draft of the unhinged/wild…

Revision Time!

Hey! How are you today? I hope you all had a lovely new year! 😊 Although January always moves very slowly and my brain hasn't fully grasped that the lazy festive season is done, I decided to get stuck into my first writing project of 2024: the second draft of the novel I wrote back …

2023 Goals

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…

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…

I'm back in Revision Town!

Hey! How's it going? It's me again. I took a week off to rest my brain after spending most of August revising a 45k novella, but now I'm getting stuck into another lot of revision. Yeah, I can't stay away. This time I'm working on this story . The one that came to me o…

The Revision is Done!

Hey! How are you today? Well, it's Friday. The 1st of September. The first day of spring. And the coldest day we've had for a while. I went for a nice and long walk earlier and the wind chilled me to the bone. 🥶 Anyway, enough about the weather. This turned out to be another busy…

Revision Time!

Hey! How are you today? I know I'm a little late, but welcome to August. Yay. I have big plans for August. ☺️ As you already know (because I posted about it)  I finished writing a novella during the first week of this month . Then, I took a week off to read and have a small mental bre…

March Revision Update!

Hey! How are you? Is everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am. I spent all this week working on the final read-thru of Tuesday . This is the novel I wrote during NanoWriMo  2022. It's a dark tale about a complicated family who live in a small Australian town that has as many secret…

The Revision Continues...

Hey! How are you today? 😊 Well, this week I got stuck into the third draft of the novel I'm currently revising and not only did I reach the end tonight, but I also had enough time to take care of the changes/additions list. Yes, there's always a list leftover. It wasn't a l…

It's Revision Time!

Hey! How are you today? Great, I hope. The last few weeks have been a bit strange. Draining and sad. Asides from losing Loki and getting used to hubby's new working hours, we got our next Pfizer booster on Friday. So we were feeling pretty crappy last weekend. That Covid shot sure m…

The First Week

I don't know if it's because I'm tapping into some sort of New Year Energy , but I wanted to post a little something to mark the end of the first week of 2023. 😊 (I'm really hoping this is the year when the world moves away from the ridiculous.🤞) Anyway, Monday was a pu…

Tracking Words & Pages

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,…

Some Kind of Goals

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 …

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…

Revision Time!

Hey! Long time no blog, huh? So, how are you? What's new? What have you been up to? 😁 After getting several revision drafts done in a row, I decided to take most of August off, and spent it with my awesome husband while he was between jobs. It was a lovely break and prepared me for t…

July/August Revision Update!

Hey! How are you today? What have you been doing? Here in Oz, the Covid situation keeps getting worse. The daily case numbers are still too high, and the deaths make me very sad. Still, people refuse to wear masks and continue to pack into crowded places without any social distancing. The…

Back to Revising!

Yep. That's right. Since this is my penultimate Revision Project (yay!), I decided to take only one week off between drafts. 😁 And it turned out to be a nice week because I read several awesome novellas, and spent Thursday and Friday with hubby. It was such a lovely long weekend. So,…

More Revision...

Hey! How are you today?  Well, I've been very busy working on the third draft of Neon , and that means that I'm at the stage where the story is totally eating my brain. 🤯 When I'm not sitting down in front of the laptop revising, I'm on my phone fine-tuning timelines, ch…
