I've spent the last few days posting on my Bookstagram and plotting out my novel, SC. If I'm going to start over again, I'll make sure it's the last time I do so, at least to this extent. I've tried to make extra sure that each event has a cause and effect, so that one … Continue reading Ending
Books and Writing
January is dangerous. It can make you think about what you've done and what you're going to do, and whether it is enough. Whether you are enough. It can lead you to set goals you struggle to reach, and to compare yourself to others. January puts everything into question. I scrapped about 40k words the … Continue reading Books and Writing

Willow & James
James likes Willow. Willow likes James. There's nothing standing in their way...right? I'm trying something new. Here is the first chapter to a novel. I think I might start posting first chapters to things. I want to write, but I have so many projects it's hard to focus on just one. If a first chapter … Continue reading Willow & James
Sooner or Later
Every so often, I'll have an idea for a story. This has been happening since long before I wrote. The ideas usually come right before bed or as soon as I wake up. I think it's because that's when I'm not busy with everything that normally occupies my mind. Unfortunately, it's been a while since … Continue reading Sooner or Later

Now What?
Well, I don't have any school to go back to in September. I thought I might take some classes but that's not looking like it'll happen until May. I've got a part-time job, but as stated, it's only part-time. So what will I do the rest of the time? Before I started this blog, I … Continue reading Now What?
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
Outstanding Day
What an incredible day. So today I had my second-last class. It was a celebration with food and stuff and people would go up and read poems or bits of their stories or sing songs they wrote, and we all talked and said goodbye and everything. It was great. I loved it, even though I … Continue reading Outstanding Day
Oh, How I’ve Grown
It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
