That weird Friday energy again - half ambition, half exhaustion.

I’ve accepted that “Monday Me” is a myth, but I still keep writing notes to her like she’s real.

Hope everyone else’s creative chaos is at least caffeinated. ☕️

You think you know your characters - then they turn left when you’ve written right.

Romance writing = free therapy for fictional idiots who refuse to listen to reason.

I’ve been quiet lately as I’ve been recovering from major (planned!) surgery. All went well and I’m doing okay — just resting, slowly.

Book updates & Highland spice returning soon.

Thank you to the wonderful miracle worker Julie Broadfoot for helping me through my natural state of awkwardness and anxiety when put in front of a camera 😅

“Aaagghh, I don’t know what to do with my hands!” Ahaa - a book you say 📕🤓

That moment when you find another app (Fable) to distract you 🙈

But it’s good if you’re like me and have a serious reading addiction, yet would like to be a bit more ‘mindful’ rather than just consuming a book 🤷🏻‍♀️

ACOTAR is a reread- despite already having too many books and not enough time 😆

Good news: officially made it to the halfway mark of the final edit of the WIP getting it ready for its copy edit 🏆

Bad news: got sick and now can’t make it to my witchy book club I’ve been looking forward to for weeks 😔

It is time for me to write … for those doing the same today - may the words come easy and may your sentences make sense 🤓

Doing this whole social media thing where I actually have no idea what I’m doing, but doing it anyway!

So, just haphazardly following people and engaging with stuff … that’s fine, right 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ever wonder where someone would get the crazy idea to write a novel? Wonder no more 😉

So, this is me starting my shameless self-promotion journey. I already have the ick!!

But if, you know, you want to support me on this crazy ride, please do - I’ll be glad of the company 😅
