Memo Pad: November Wrap Up

Another month down and it's nearly the end of the year. It feels so strange to say that when it's still sunny outside here. I can't actually believe I'm ending 2019 having moved to my dream home. But we're  at the end of the year yet so back to this month. I didn't officially take…

Memo Pad: October Book Wrap Up

Phew. It's been such a busy month for me! And I cannot believe it's almost Christmas already. I am not prepared. Somebody press pause, please! Probably the biggest thing that happened this month is that I got diagnosed as autistic. I've discovered so much out about myself and I still am finding and figuring out…

Baby Leopards, Pretty Stationery and Finished 1st Drafts

I finished writing the first draft of my fantasy story! Happy Dance time! I celebrated with the age old - lets eat lots of yummy food - method. Chinese takeaway, ice cream and, okay, I had other desserts too! This post is literally just me patting myself on the back and explaining this is why…

2017 Goals – How did I do?

At the start of the year I wrote a post about my goals for the year. All of them. From my craft goals, to blogging, to reading, to Spanish, to my etsy shop. All of the things I planned to do this year. You can check it out here if you want to but I'm…

NaNoWriMo – How Did I Do?

Nanowrimo is over! I can finally get back to life! Okay, so I actually stopped with about five days left so I've been back to real life for almost a week now but it's so weird waking up and having to decide what to do today rather than just - write! So how did my…

Memo Pad: October Books

Another month down and another Bookish wrap up for you. It's almost Christmas. More importantly it's almost November. I'll be doing nanowrimo next month which is why this post is a little early. I wanted to get my reviews up and out of the way so I could concentrate on my story. So here they…

NaNoWriMo Here We Come

I actually can't believe its nanowrimo time again. For those of you who don't know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month where people sign up and attempt to write 50k in the month of November. I am actually very well prepared this year but I still feel like I was only writing my last nanowrimo…

Life Continues

There are a lot of smaller things going on right now. I might have had an update on my quilt to post if I hadn't been spending most of my time working on a super secret project for my friends birthday next month. And as super secret projects go, I can't share it with you…

First Draft Finished!

I interrupt my usually scheduled posts (... Who an I kidding?) to say I have officially finished writing my first ever first draft for the story I was writing! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! I started out during NaNoWriMo in November (posts about it here and here) then wrote one chapter a month until now. Nine months after I…

Mid Year Goals – How am I doing?

It's July! Where is the year going? It seems like only a couple weeks ago that I made my new years goals for the year but here we are six months later. I thought it would be good time check in with them (no point making goals if you forget all about them).   Writing…
