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 (!), […]

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 […]

It’s here. My first book The Boring Job Project has officially been released and is available on Amazon, Booktopia, Kobo or AbeBooks. 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 […]
