  • I’m busy, I swear

    I’ve been at my second job for just over a week now, and working two jobs has exhausted me. But the exhaustion is only temporary. My second job is something I’ve done before for years, but it’s labour-intensive, and I’ve… Continue reading

  • Scared to touch an Old Flame

    I’ve been gradually working on one of my first big projects. I’ve rewritten the first draft of the first book a few times, and have overhauled the entire synopses for the series more than that. I’m happy with how it… Continue reading

  • More Talking, Actually

    Recently, I’ve downloaded a dictation app on my phone to help when the ideas are just coming out of my head, but I’m in no mood to put them down on paper or am a bit busy with my hands… Continue reading

    More Talking, Actually
  • March is Half Done

    March is half done. There has been a Covid case at the nearest hospital to me and so I’m waiting to see whether or not that becomes an issue, but other than that, it seems like Brisbane is starting to… Continue reading

  • How “X” Saves Me in Writing

  • Marching in the March of March

  • Value.

    One thing I don’t like about humans is how we force the value of certain things onto one another. Things that are deeming “socially acceptable” and “socially unacceptable” are enforced without too much of another thought. I don’t think it’s… Continue reading

    Value.
  • Different Things, Here and There

    I’m often adding to my Writing Notes (a document that I jot things down in when a scene or character or complete synopsis strikes me), but I have been continuing on with The Writer’s Bookshelf. I’ve also been writing more… Continue reading

  • Let’s go March

    Two months down, ten to go. But no seriously … we’ve already gone through two months of this year. I’m hoping that once the excitement and eagerness to spear-head through to May (when I move) is over, time will slow… Continue reading

  • Rolling that Snowball

    Things have been moving a lot more consistently recently, which is great. I still have some worries, but I think I’m really “coming into my own”. I don’t think that quite fits the bill of what I’m experiencing, but it’s… Continue reading
