Note to reader: This is the second part in a two-part blog post. If you wish to read part one, click here. Otherwise, please read on, although note that this post a little more personal than my usual writing-related posts, so feel free to skim or skip. The sudden and unexpected passing of our two-year-old…
Note to readers: This is part one in a two-part long-ish post series and not directly writing-related. But it’s something I needed to write. Before my blog became a writing focused blog, it was more ‘me’ focused. More of a personal blog that I used to chat about things going on in my head and…
My word for 2020 was momentum. The idea behind it was to keep moving forward in terms of my writing.

Today feels like the beginning. The school holidays are over, and I’m ready to settle back into routine. As much as I love the spontaneity of being on holidays, especially being away on the coast, I always love coming back home and normality. Although, it’s not exactly normal around these parts. If you follow me…
Do you ever feel like you want to restart? Just hit the refresh key and reload? That’s me at the moment. For much of this year we’ve had family dramas, of which if you’re a regular reader, you’ll understand I can’t go into. Things finally came to a head, which has caused a major change…
