  • 2023 is halfway done.

    The last post I made was ironically a “it has been a while” post. Since then, I have gone through some significant life changes. For the better. I won’t be returning to daily posts just yet, but I would like… Continue reading

  • NaNoWriMo Writing Project

    So, I’ve been calling it “NaNoMo” but it’s actually “NaNoWriMo”? That’s how much I know about it. I also wasn’t sure whether it was an official challenge or just something a lot of people take part in, and I think… Continue reading

  • From the bus

    I even brought my laptop with me on my commute to work today, so that I could have some time to write something a bit more substantial for Friday. Sometimes I have more time at home, but other times I’m… Continue reading

  • Writing writing writing

    I’ve been writing. I HAVE BEEN WRITING. It feels good. I’ve been focusing on DW whilst I think about how to go about fixing A Woman’s Conquest. The DW series is the one I’m most scared of because it’s one… Continue reading
