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 [...]
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 [...]
The YA Masterclass
On Thursday 15th June, 2017, I attended the YA Masterclass as part of The Emerging Writers Festival. It was damn exciting. We listened to lectures, interviews, panels and had a 2 hour work shop. One panel discussed finding voice in YA. They spoke about how young adult readers know what they like and they know [...]

I’ve only done this about 50% of the time. Same with exercising. I’ve had problems with fitting in exercising [...]
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 [...]
Why Crying is a Good Thing
This week I have felt like I wanted to watch a sad movie and cry everything out. It has been one of those weeks. Absolutely crazy at work. I’m not exactly sad. Just stressed. When I’m stressed my back tenses, I clench my jaw and as a result I get neck pain and headaches. I’m [...]
Keep On Keepin’ On
My day job totally got in the way of my productivity this week. It was bat-shit-crazy. Remember last week when I was all pumped to write my next scene? Well, that didn't happen until Saturday night. Wednesday is an off night for writing. I was still having neck and shoulder pain from my fall the [...]
