One and a half months into my 2019 reading challenge and I think it’s time to talk about it. I know it’s February, but I like the thought of talking about each month’s reading, and January is a good place to start. Present over Perfect by Shauna Niequist This book sounded like a good way … Continue reading January 2019 Reading

Ready for 2019
I’ve decided to write a little list this evening – because who doesn’t love a good list? Here are five lessons learned in recent times that I want to take with me as we transition into the New Year. 1/ You will not always agree with someone – this is not necessarily a bad thing. … Continue reading Ready for 2019
That Time I Wrote a lot of Poems
With the hype of NaNoWriMo I realised I never reflected on my 30-poems-in-30-days. So, here we go. I have three notebooks stashed in my guitar case, within them holding my songs and poems.

I am not at 10,000 words, but one day I will be and we will all rejoice for the savoury muffin fest. In terms of the writing itself, I think I have direction. … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: Day Three
NaNoWriMo: Day One
WHY DON’T I HAVE A PLAN. It’s day one of NaNoWriMo and I don’t have anything to write. This is why people take Preptober so seriously. On one hand I knew this would happen. I didn’t have a specific direction and didn’t want to force a novel that wasn’t ready to be written. On the … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: Day One
