But the writing has been ticking over. Have been working on two projects, one overtaking the other, hoping to have a first draft of it completed soon!!

Back to school for the littlest today and I feel her anxiety about going back after a really nice break

Hey…keep forgetting to check in here…sorry…the other place feels desolate at times…and yet here it feels a little overwhelming to have to start again…

But it is back to the real world with a bump with a poorly kiddo and juggling the day job 😭😭😭

Had a wonderful writing retreat with @pennywincer.bsky.social in Cornwall this weekend. A truly needed balm!

Foggy

1985 words written on project two today (mostly from notes), planning on revisiting some previous writing for a possible project three - back to project one next week 💪

Happy Monday!! One kid back at school today, one on an inset day, back to work tomorrow

Perfect day for last minute school shoes shopping…😫

Lucky!

We have flurries…but don’t think it will settle… ❄️💙😔

Just watched Carry-On on Netflix - a solid disaster situation film

Discovered The Pembrokeshire Murders on Netflix yesterday (ITV originally). Definitely recommend. More Luke Evans in lead roles please!!

If you buy books for research for your WIP then they don’t count towards the teetering TBR pile, right?!

Finally got a chance to finish series 2 of The Diplomat!! What an ending!!

Morning. Happy New Year.
A while ago I ran a series of daily tweets about birdsong. The idea was to encourage people to pay attention to the natural sounds around them, and learn to identify birds from their sounds alone (which, after all, is often the only clue you get to their presence).

And just like that Christmas (and 2024) is packed up. Happy New Year!!!

I have been keeping a reading record for the last three years…it seems I am a firm 20/21 books a year girl

Yep, read a thread recently (on here or the other place) about the whole original and it is VERY dark!!

There…ready

🖤

Went on a beautiful solo hike in the Brecon Beacons today…and was rewarded with the sight of two rare white rainbows!!

The feeling when you realise your WIP starts in the wrong place but you’ve already written what SHOULD be the start of your WIP

Merry Christmas to all. Wishing nice, calm and pleasant days, especially to those who have had life challenges thrown at them this year 💕

Wine, money, friends…

That will do…

Starting as I mean to go on…
