As I promised last week, when we took a break from the Your Suggestions series, we’re back, with another three amazing pieces suggested by you guys. I’ve been really enjoying listening to all your suggestions, and loving having the chance to share them with everyone. But, before we get into the music, I want to know, would you like this series to continue?...
With NaNoWriMo starting this coming Sunday, it’s the perfect time to join in with Cait@Paper Fury and Sky@Further Up and Further In’s lovely Beautiful Books link-up, the special edition of the usual Beautiful People. Today I’ll be sharing a little about my project for this November. And, as a special bonus, I will be attempting to answer all 10 of the questions for...

The simple line graph depicts your progress throughout the month, showing your accumulating word count in a way that...
It’s Friday again, which means it must be time for another Writing Music post. This week we’re taking a break from our Writing Music: Your Suggestions series, but rest assured, it’ll be back again very soon. I still have so much amazing music to share that you guys have recommended to me. This week’s piece actually came from author Maggie Stiefvater’s Twitter (no,...
My good friend Heather@Sometimes I’m A Story tagged me for the ‘A Writer’s Life’ Blog Tag. Many thanks to you Heather. And, since I am indeed a writer and this is indeed a writing blog and occasionally I like to share things about myself, I decided it might be fun to do the tag and let you all know more about me personally...
Photo credit: azrasta / Foter / CC BY-NC-SA I’m pretty sure all booklovers have a secret list of bookish wishes they’d love to have granted. This week I’m once again joining up with the Top Ten Tuesday link-up, where we’re sharing that list of wishes. If only there was actually a bookish genie around to grant them for me, I think my life...
Photo credit: jeff_golden / Foter / CC BY-SA There are less than two weeks until November, which means, of course, that NaNoWriMo is coming. Can’t you just hear the muffled roar of thousands of anguished writers deep in their preparations for this mighty challenge? Some of those agonised screams may be mine as I attempt to finish editing one book while plotting a...
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time for another Writing Music post. As I did in the last two posts in this series, I want to share some of the music that you guys have suggested I try. I love discovering new songs, and I’ve had some amazing recommendations from people. So I feel it’s only fair to return the favour and share...
Photo credit: LukeDetwiler / Foter / CC BY A while back, I wrote a post in which I asked an important question: do you believe in your dreams? A lot of dreams seem impossible because we can’t quite bring ourselves to believe in them. I’ve actually been thinking a lot about my dreams recently. In just over six weeks, I will be completing...
Photo credit: Daniel Y. Go / Foter / CC BY-NC I find it interesting that every person has their own preference when it comes to the types of books they read. Some people love romances. Others can’t stand them. Some people live for zombies and vampires, while others prefer historical thrillers. And they have their own, personal reasons for why they particularly enjoy...
A few weeks back, I asked for suggestions for music to help inspire me again. And you guys were so amazing with your response and gave me loads of good pieces to listen to. In fact, there were so many that I decided to share my favourites with everyone in a series. This is part two in the series. I won’t be sharing...
