Finished reading ‘The Great Gatsby’. Such a poignant ending. I knew it would be sad yet it still made me feel.

Definitely a book I’d recommend!

Just hit 100k words on my epic fantasy novel!!!!!!

A major milestone for a book which could take the rest of the year for me to finish 🙃

I've done it! My YouTube channel is now up and running. I've been looking forward to this for some time now. Here's my first video, just a short, 2-minute introduction to the channel. Enjoy! :)

What’s the best thing to do when recovering from a septoplasty? Write of course! Which is what I’m doing.

Happy Sunday everyone! 🙂

I’ve deleted my account with Vocal media.

I lost enthusiasm for the platform a long time ago so it didn’t make sense to keep the account. Should’ve done it sooner tbh but it’s done now.

No regrets! 🙂

I’ve had this bookmark for years. Never actually read the book that it’s advertising, even though it stares me in the face every time I’m reading something else. Anyone here read it?

At the start of the day, I had Coldplay’s ‘We Pray’ in my head. Later it changed to Clash’s ‘I Fought the Law’. Now it’s ‘I’m too Sexy’ by Right Said Fred.

My mind’s jukebox went from peace to violence to vanity.

My mind’s jukebox is very weird…

I like yoga. I should do it more often. It’s exercise, as well as a good way to wind down at the end of the day. Namaste everyone!

Last month I only wrote about one and a half chapters for my fantasy novel. This month, I managed to do four and a half!

Small achievement, but it’s progress made and I’m pretty chuffed about it! 🥳

Uploaded my first Instagram post today. Should’ve been a satisfying moment but the posting process felt so complicated that I’m just exhausted. Hopefully it will be easier next time…

Writing Tip:
Take the time to just enjoy reading your own work. Don't treat it like a job. Try and enjoy the moments you're writing/editing. Your reader will be able to sense that enthusiasm in your work. Passion creates passion, after all. So have fun with it!

Browsing the book section of a charity shop and stumbled upon ‘Bleak House’. Never read it before, and I never realised how big it was! 800+ pages 🤯

If my reading list wasn’t so long already I might have bought it. Maybe next time.

Anyone here read it?

Been a long time since I did a newsletter, but I think it’s time to finally start doing them again! Not gonna lie, I’m a bit excited. Always had fun putting them together.

Feel free to check it out if you’re interested. There’s a sign up page on my website 🙂 Link’s in my bio

Just finished reading 1984. So bleak (and scarily prescient) but a great book. Might be my favourite dystopian novel. I’d highly recommend it!

Hmm, but what to read next?? 🤔🤔🤔

My word count goal for yesterday was 2k words. In the end I only wrote 200.

Today’s word count: still 2k! But maybe I can get a bit closer to it this time 🤞📝📝📝📝📖

This week seems like a good time to remind myself that rest, good food and good books are vital for good mental health.

Hey #writingcommunity! Hope everyone’s had a good start to the week. I’m going to be posting on here more often now, but I won’t always have any news or useful things to say. So expect a lot of random stuff from here on out! 🤪
