Welcome to the May 2023 roundup! This month I went on my second writing retreat with some members of the #6amAusWriters from Twitter. Three of us (myself, KD Kells, and Belinda Grant) attended the same retreat last year, and this year we were joined by indie Fantasy author, Elise Carlson. We spent two and a …
Welcome to the April 2023 roundup! My April kicked off with a trip to Sydney for Easter so my family and I could see my mother, sisters, aunty, cousin, and extended family, and meet some family members for the first time in real life who were visiting all the way from Scotland. It was a …
Welcome to the March 2023 roundup! Well, my March has gone the same way as the rest of 2023 so far, which has been way too quick, and in an endless loop of the same goals. Nothing much changes when your current work in progress is a months-long project, as I'm sure the writers out …
Welcome to the February 2023 roundup! With only 28 days this month, February went by in a flash, but it wasn't so quick that I wasn't able to get back into a routine now that we're well on our way into the new year. That means I've started making more progress on my writing goals, …
Welcome to the January 2023 roundup! Well, it looks like the quickness of 2022 has followed us into 2023 as we're already one month down! It feels like I just barely got back to my writing desk after spending most of December in Sydney visiting family for Christmas, and I'm trying my best to get …
Welcome to the 2022 blog roundup! As is the tradition since the start of my blog in 2017, I'm rounding up the year that was, as well as my December! This year felt like it went by so fast that it's hard to remember getting anything done. I did, though. In fact, I released a …
Welcome to the November 2022 roundup! Can you believe we've just finished the second last month of 2022? While the end of the year always goes by super quick, it feels like the whole year has been like that and I've been trying to make progress on as many goals as I can so I …
Welcome to the October 2022 roundup! If you read last month's roundup, you'll know I was heading off for the surgery I'd been waiting over a year to have. Unfortunately, for the fourth time since 2020, it was canceled while I sat in hospital admissions and I really began to question if the universe was …
Welcome to the September 2022 roundup! Don't worry, I didn't accidentally publish this post before the 30th, which is when it would usually hit your inboxes/feed. Although it's a recurring fear that I will hit publish instead of save draft anytime I'm working on blogs, I'm purposely publishing this roundup blog early because I'm taking …
