Ok, July and August are over. Time to reflect and set some new goals! Watch On YouTube How did I go? Well, I planned to have the first draft of "Brittany & Charli" book 1 completed by August 31st, 2017. Nope! But I did get to chapter 34 of 38! That deserves a hurrah. I wanted [...]

Creating Daily Habits
Watch on YouTube I have been highly motivated in 2017. I have many goals I want to accomplish. I realised I needed a daily routine in order to get everything done. I started off setting alarms for everything in my to-do list. Ranging from: 6am - Wake Up 6.30am - Pack Work Out Gear 7am [...]
July & August, 2017 Goals
I have to say I was pretty proud of myself sticking to goals in May & June. May was great. I was diligent with my reading and writing goals. I kept to my personal goals. My manuscript crept up to 45K words. Things changed up a bit in June. I established a habit tracker. [...]
Going Car-Less
On the 27th January, 2016, I was driving in my car and was t-boned by another car. I was thankfully fine. The car was a write-off. It took quite some time for the insurance money to come through. In the meantime I took to riding the bus to and from work. I first thought this [...]

One panel discussed finding voice in YA. They spoke about how young adult readers know what they like and they know [...]
When the Bullies Bully.

The Month of May, 2017
May has been and gone. It was the first month I tried sticking to specific goals. I’m doing bi-monthly goals, so right now I am at the halfway point. I’ve been slack with my meal prep. I’ve only done this about 50% of the time. Same with exercising. I’ve had problems with fitting in exercising [...]
Moving to Keep the Mind Happy
They always say exercise can elevate your mood. But sometimes that is easier said than done. If I already feel down, the last thing I want to do is get up and moving. A brain fog happens and a little voice inside says “don’t, it’s too hard, just stay wrapped in a blanket.” Finally, I’ve [...]
Act 1 is Done!
I literally jumped around my room cheering at the end of this writing week. Act 1 is complete. Yes, your applause is welcome. Last Thursday I absolutely smashed it out of the park. I tackled four difficulty scenes and hit a word count of 2828. I can't believe I was able to tick off so [...]
