So I’ve been feeling a bit better about writing in the past few days. I think making a post about creative drought did me a favour, I got all those nagging feelings vented out and admitted what needed to change. Since then, I’ve been more relaxed, and I can feel sprinkles of inspiration coming back.Continue reading “The Necessary Nuisance of Naming”

Embracing Ennui
So today marks exactly 4 months since I started writing my book idea. Each month on the 16th, I like to have a little check in (no-pressure!) to see how much I’ve got done. Last time in October, I was really happy with my progress, having reached over 10,000 words. This time, although I saidContinue reading “Embracing Ennui”
A Lidl Bit of Inspiration
So yesterday, (Monday) is our weekly shopping day. Where I live, the weather has been ridiculous, two bridges were swept away in a nearby town just a short while ago. Thankfully we haven’t been flooded here, but the rain has been torrential, and it still was that morning. Needless to say I was not excitedContinue reading “A Lidl Bit of Inspiration”
A Rewarding Ramble (Writing Report)
The 4th of the month is a special day for me and my husband every time it comes around, for many reasons. Mostly, because it’s our dating anniversary. But also, it’s the one day a month that we get a takeaway. In this month though, November, there was even more to celebrate than usual. So,Continue reading “A Rewarding Ramble (Writing Report)”
Halloween Horror Films – Ranked & Reviewed
So for Halloween this October, my husband and I tried to find a lot of new horror films that I hadn’t seen before. I was a bit nervous of being scared but I enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would. This isn’t the type of thing I usually post but there wasn’tContinue reading “Halloween Horror Films – Ranked & Reviewed”
Slender Man (2018) – So Bad It’s Bad
SPOILERS BELOW: Before watching this film I’d heard a lot of bad things about it, and I’m here to tell you that they’re all true. As a lover of all things awful though I knew I owed it to myself to give it a watch. I’m glad I did, because while as a horror movie,Continue reading “Slender Man (2018) – So Bad It’s Bad”
A Modest Milestone
Well, it’s been three months exactly since I decided to write a book. Originally, I told myself to finish it within a month. I thought since I knew where I wanted the story to go, it should be really easy to get it all out on the page within that amount of time. That wasContinue reading “A Modest Milestone”
First Ever Poem Attempt for National Poetry Day!
Technically when I post this, National Poetry Day will have been yesterday, but I only found out that there was such a thing a few hours ago. To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about the rules of poetry, it’s not something I’ve ever tried, so I didn’t really know where to begin. It wasContinue reading “First Ever Poem Attempt for National Poetry Day!”
An Eventful Outing
As a celebration for recently reaching 10,000 words in my book, and to try and keep getting out of the house more, my husband and I treated ourselves to a day out at the cinema and the shops. However, the only cinema we can get to within the day is in a city just overContinue reading “An Eventful Outing”
Changed by a Chicken
This Monday afternoon, as my husband brought home the shopping and placed the whole, raw chicken that I’d asked for in front of me, I felt a shiver coming on. Cutting up? Butchering? There really isn’t a nice way to describe the fowl process of seperating the bird into parts, it’s by far the worstContinue reading “Changed by a Chicken”
