You may notice a couple of things that are new. Firstly, there is a countdown on the right side of my blog. It shows how many days are left before this blog is a year old. Crazy, isn't it? I've had this blog for almost a full year! Also, I got my first paycheck from … Continue reading What You Think

Get to Know the Writer
I did a tag thing and answered all the questions and was about to tag people at the very end when my internet decided to go kaput and I lost everything. Save. I am now saving everything I write as soon as I write it. Save. But I'll stop saying 'save' now because I can … Continue reading Get to Know the Writer
5 Ways To Fill A Notebook
I realized that Wednesday was the one-year mark for how long I've been writing in my blue coil notebook. Just eyeballing it, it looks like I've filled a little less than half of the book. Since the last notebook was filled in two years, it seems I'm right on track. Except that I haven't written … Continue reading 5 Ways To Fill A Notebook
So Late It’s Early
It is currently half past six in the morning and I can't sleep. It could be the coffee I had fifteen hours ago, or the book I was reading that I can't get out of my head, or everything else that has me up to my eyeballs in stress. But I'd rather not get into … Continue reading So Late It’s Early
Two-Toned Subtlety
I thought I finished Book 3 back in the first week of June. I started the next book and everything, but something about the way it ended just didn't feel right. For the past five weeks, I kept going back to how things ended. When I considered crossing out everything I'd written since then and … Continue reading Two-Toned Subtlety
Right Turn
It's Sunday night and I'm alone in my room thinking about my worst fear: The Future. Well, my future, specifically. Okay, I have a confession to make. That first paragraph was written a long time ago and I saw it while going through my drafts looking for something to write about. But tonight is a … Continue reading Right Turn
Milestone
I've noticed that when I'm really excited about what I'm writing and it no longer feels like work, I get more writing done. For example, today I finished the first draft of Book 3, began the first draft of Book 4, and typed up over four thousand words. I guess it's been a pretty big … Continue reading Milestone
Some Poetry
Here are two poems I wrote back in my first year at university. For all intents and purposes, this counts as a complete blog post. Hope you enjoy them! Don't forget to leave comments below; I love hearing your feedback! Concrete Nothing is wrong, yet nothing feels right Every day is the same and each … Continue reading Some Poetry
Precarious, Indeed
It's weird being home and seeing high school friends, whether by accident, by appointment, or on Facebook. At university it was great being surrounded by people with similar interests as me. Lots of my uni friends do Creative Writing and we can talk about the possibilities for future employment as journalists, teachers, authors, and more! … Continue reading Precarious, Indeed
