As writers, we’ve all had those moments when it’s been hard to sit down and write. It could be because other responsibilities have kept us away from our writing desks, or illness has sidelined us. Then there are those times when we’ve been able to write and we just… don’t. When that happens, it’s down …

Welcome to the September 2021 roundup! And here we are at the end of yet another month. Despite it being a string of Groundhog Lockdown Days, some things were different. Here in Victoria, we had an earthquake! Thankfully it only lasted a few minutes and didn't cause any injuries, but it sure was scary. I've …
Welcome to the August 2021 roundup! Who else blinked and suddenly it was the end of August? I'm surprised it went so fast considering every day felt like Groundhog Day. Once again, it was spent in lockdown (#6 for those counting), which is still ongoing. I was also in hospital for some of the month, …
Welcome to the July 2021 roundup! Another month has passed and once again, part of it was spent in lockdown. Victoria (where I live in Australia), had its 5th lockdown this month, and we were joined by other states, South Australia and NSW, essentially putting half of the country in lockdown.

If you’ve been following my blog for a few years, you’ll know I had surgery in 2018 for what turned out to be …

Welcome to the March 2021 roundup! And the year continues to fly by! I can't believe we've hit the end of March already. I was busy doing lots of editing this month and will continue to do so into April—because let's face it—a writer's work is never done. I hope you've all had a safe …
Welcome to the February 2021 roundup! Is it just me, or did February fly by really fast? I know it was a short 28-day month, but it still felt quicker than that. There are a few people I follow on social media who had planned to use the 28 days to achieve goals, such as …
