I had a struggle this month - which book should I choose to write about? I finally landed on The Duke and I by Julia Quinn - the book behind the Netflix sensation sweeping the world- Bridgerton! Yes, I will admit it! I too have binge-watched the Netflix show and loved it! Somehow, I missed … Continue reading February’s Book of the Month: The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

Outlining, researching and a week full of inspiration!

March 1, 20212 Comments

I don't know about you, but February has been a fantastic month for me! I've spent the last two years physically and mentally drained and unable to dedicate what little energy I had towards writing. In all honesty, I worried I'd never be able to get back to it. Thankfully, I seem to have found … Continue reading Outlining, researching and a week full of inspiration!

Friday nights and winter “hygge”…

January 29, 2021Leave a comment

It's Friday and it's freezing! We woke up to -9 degrees this morning and the kids left the house for school bundled to the eyeballs. I don't mind the cold particularly but, thankfully, I have a day of writing and studying planned so, for now, I can sit here warm and toasty and enjoy a … Continue reading Friday nights and winter “hygge”…

Like looking in a mirror?

January 28, 20212 Comments

They say a writer should write what they know. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say this and it seems to be the most common piece of advice offered to all aspiring writers. But what does it mean? And does it help you become a better writer? For a long time … Continue reading Like looking in a mirror?

As days go, yesterday was a winner! Let me tell you why... I reached my first goal of 10K written words about a month ago. 10% of my novel was written! I felt good. Really good!

Love is in the air…

February 14, 2019February 14, 2019Leave a comment

For some of you Valentines Day is an excuse to shower that special someone with cards, flowers, gifts and attention. For others it’s a black hole of loathing with thoughts of revenge and regret and a fervent wish you could squash your useless ex like a bug. For most though, it’s a day like every … Continue reading Love is in the air…

Have you ever fallen hopelessly in love with a literary pet and wished they were yours? I have! Countless times! Nearly every one of my favourite books has had a pet character and for me they have been as important to the story as any of their human counterparts.  During the process of plotting out … Continue reading The Puuuurfect Pet?

When are you at your most creative?

February 8, 2019February 8, 2019Leave a comment

Yesterday I was driving through a slush storm to pick my kids up from school. The temperature was yo-yoing just around freezing and the sky was dark grey, a heavy mass of clouds that couldn't make up their mind if they wanted to pelt us with rain or bury us in snow. Hence the slush. … Continue reading When are you at your most creative?
