While I’m at work, my mind travels elsewhere and independently works on my writing while my body is stacking shelves. I become so excited about the scenes, characters, and blog posts I plan on writing. I get so lost in the ideas and they keep me going, only when I get home I’m too tired,Continue reading “Writing in chaos.”

It will never be So Long or Goodnight.
Every day without fail I look at both my TimeHop app and my Facebook memories. I only really use social media to document my life so I can be reminded of it in the future. Growing up I used to write in a diary every single day, which is amazing to look back on, butContinue reading “It will never be So Long or Goodnight.”
On the sinking ship.
I’ve been flicking through my 642 Things To Write About book recently, writing down any of the prompts that inspired me, and two jumped out and made me want to write about them: ‘Your favourite moment in film‘ and ‘How you feel about love these days‘ I couldn’t answer one without the other, as theContinue reading “On the sinking ship.”
Adding colour to the past.
This week I have been sucked back in to writing (And rewriting) parts of my novel. Does anyone else get a second wind, so-to-speak, with their writing? I have been so happy with the initial draft of it for a few months now, but suddenly I had a flurry of new thoughts that I wantedContinue reading “Adding colour to the past.”
The Necessity of Negativity.
Recently I read an article on Happiful.com about giving up negativity for ten weeks, and it made for an interesting and thought provoking read. The writer, Katie Hoare, describes how a fast on negative thoughts could help in changing that internal monolog we all have chattering away in our minds, and help turn it intoContinue reading “The Necessity of Negativity.”
The path back to July.
When it comes to writing my weekly blog post, I usually start the week with the idea of what I want to write, then I will sit and write it and post it on the same day. But this week it didn’t really go as planned. I had my subject, I knew what I wantedContinue reading “The path back to July.”
Looking beyond the armour.
As I get older, I’m beginning to feel that much like saying ‘with great power, comes great responsibility’, with great strength, comes great pain. It sounds like a harsh reality, but I do believe it to be true; after all, we get strength from pain and trauma, so it makes sense, right? I’m not sure.Continue reading “Looking beyond the armour.”
What is self-care anyway?
It really feels as if self-care is everywhere right now; it’s in magazines, it’s on the TV, and there’s quotes online reminded you about it. Not to mention it being drilled into my head weekly at university, because when studying counselling you’re supposed to become some kind of self-care god or goddess! Despite this, I’veContinue reading “What is self-care anyway?”
A memory stored within a song.
I never listen to the radio in the car, ever. Well, unless times are desperate, and yesterday was one of them days. In the past I’ve been known to squeeze three or four CDs in my handbag, just in case I fancied listening to something else on my journeys. So, getting in my car withoutContinue reading “A memory stored within a song.”
A letter to me of the past.
Recently I was tagged in a post by my friend on Facebook. It was a letter she wrote to her ten year old self, she had written a couple of sentences about me in it, which was lovely, but as I read it I began to wonder, what would I tell my ten year oldContinue reading “A letter to me of the past.”
