My WIP in Tropes
There’s a reason that last week’s post was reflecting on my favourite romance novel tropes. I’m dedicating time to my romantic comedy draft and I realised that it encompasses my favourite tropes (duh!). This week, to motivate myself to continue with my edits and start the process of introducing you to my first novel (!), […]

Feeding the Creative Process: Handwriting vs Typing
One of my goals for this year is to organise my works in progress. I’m one of those insufferable people who, despite using organisation and tracking apps, can’t seem to keep my work in order. You see, because my mind is always whirring, I have a tendency to write down my ideas in a notebook. […]

My Top Writing Must Haves
Being a full-time working mum, I don’t like to think of must-haves when I’m writing. There’s a very short amount of time that I have, so all I really need is my laptop and somewhere to rest it, whether it’s at my desk, at my lounge desk or on my knees while I sit in […]

What I’m working on in 2022
It’s been one full year since The Boring Job Project was published and I’ve been through some highs and lows with progress on my open projects. On the one hand, I like to make the excuse that I work full-time and have a toddler and a house to manage, but on the other, I know […]

HOW I USED HOBBIES TO INCREASE MY JOB SATISFACTION
When I started The Boring Job Project, I made a list of all the hobbies I wanted to try. Then, I went a step further and searched the internet for lists of hobbies and added some more that I might be interested in. I ended up with quite a long list, but I was lucky […]

Now that we’re almost a couple of weeks into 2021, we might be starting to settle onto the reality that it’s not much different from last year (unfortunately). But, it hasn’t escaped us […]

Truth Time: Does Your Job Bore You?
I want to see a show of hands: who finds their job boring? I wouldn’t be surprised if no one raised their hand. Not in real life, anyway. Maybe the result would be different if you could answer anonymously, if you could send in your response under an alias and tell the truth of your […]

Why I’m participating in NaNoWriMo
We haven’t finished NaNoWriMo yet, and I don’t want to be cocky, but I’m planning to hit the 50,000 word count. Of course I am; everyone who signs up to write a novel in November is planning to finish, aren’t they? But we’re halfway through the month and I am struggling – big time! Committing […]

COVER REVEAL: THE BORING JOB PROJECT
I received a VERY exciting package in the post the other day. I knew exactly what it was and my hands tingled with nerves and excitement as I tore open the cardboard packaging. Bookmail is the best kind of mail – especially when it’s your name on the spine. That’s right! My book is here! […]
