  • It has been a long day

    I spent longer writing yesterday than I should have, given that I needed to be up early this morning. I still woke up early, luckily, but it was earlier than I needed to, and so I headed to work with… Continue reading

  • I WROTE SOMETHING

    I didn’t get a lot of writing done yesterday, but in comparison to the past month, I did really well. I was editing and reviewing a lot of writing—when I haven’t touched a manuscript in a long time, I’ll usually… Continue reading

  • Today is a Writing Day, I Can Feel It

    I have a lot on the agenda this week, but I can feel that I’ll be writing a lot today. It’s almost like the feeling of anxiety, but it’s a mixture of fear and excitement, and all I think about… Continue reading

  • Time to Wind Down to Wind Up

    Yesterday was fun, and I’m well rested. Sore, but well rested. Today, I’m pushing through some smaller tasks while I rest. A proper rest, I mean. And I’m also preparing for this week coming, hoping I can get more accomplished.… Continue reading

  • Assessment Task 1: Literature Review

    Note: this was the second literature review that I’d ever written (I failed the first one when I was studying social work at UQ). For some more context, I rewrote the entire essay the day off. I didn’t realise there… Continue reading

  • The Post Builder Changed Again?

    It has a different font and different sizing, and I can’t tell whether I like it or not. It’s not great on my eyes, but hey, maybe it’s strengthening them. The side of my face is starting to hurt again… Continue reading

  • The First Step after the Edit

    I forgot the most important thing that comes with a full manuscript. The cover page. The dreaded cover page. I know a lot more about cover pages now than I did when they were fifteen, but when I think about… Continue reading
