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.

Welcome to the July 2022 roundup! Well, this was yet another blink and you've missed it month! July went by so fast for me, mainly because I spent a solid two weeks of it working on the final draft of Blackbirch #3. The awesome #6amAusWriters on Twitter ran a #WinterWritingWarmUp event, and I used the …
Welcome to the June 2022 roundup! This month, I took some time off from writing. One reason was that my mum came to visit from Sydney for an extended weekend. The other was because I was in a bit of a funk. After coming off a real writer's high of finally finishing my Blackbirch 3 …
Welcome to the May 2022 roundup! Finally, a monthly update where I can say I finished my edits of Blackbirch 3, draft 10! The MS I'd been working on for 6 months is in the hands of new beta readers and getting closer to the end of the editing process so it can move to …
Welcome to the April 2022 roundup! Well, I started this month on track to finish draft 10 of Blackbirch 3. The plan was to have it out to betas by Easter so I could leave for a break knowing it was in their hands, ready to be read. Instead, my household of four was hit …
