At the risk of angering the vegan police, I have made the decision to stop being vegan. I went vegan a long time ago (about 6 or 7 years) and a lot has changed in that time. There were a few reasons that I decided to go vegan in the first place but I have … Continue reading Breaking Up With Veganism

Complicated
I have had a lot going on this week. With writing, trying to eat healthy, contract negotiations and planning for my next writing projects. All while trying to overheat in this ridiculous weather that we are having over in the UK. It has been a lot for me to keep on top of but I … Continue reading Complicated
Healthy Eating
This week I have been really focusing on my diet and activity levels for the first time in a long time. I used to be so good at eating well and exercising but I have picked up quite a few bad habits during lockdown that I was having trouble getting out of. This week I … Continue reading Healthy Eating
I Need A Holiday!
I know, I know. It wasn't that long ago that I had some time off but right now I just really need a break, even if it is only for a few days. I have a busy couple of months at my day job and I really would like to just have a bit more … Continue reading I Need A Holiday!
Out The Other side
The first half of this week was so hot that it felt as though 90% of my life was trying to keep my body temperature down. I have never been a huge fan of the heat but this week has certainly proved that I am not cut out to live or even visit anywhere hot. … Continue reading Out The Other side
It’s Hot But It’s Only Getting Hotter
No I am not talking about my stories although that is true as well. I am talking about the weather. Here in UK we are in the middle of a heatwave and having a particularly fluffy dog means I need to be aware of this kind of thing. Next weeks temperatures are meant to get … Continue reading It’s Hot But It’s Only Getting Hotter
I’m Back
I took a month away from social media (and pretty much everything else) to focus on writing in NaNoWriMo. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a challenge where you try to write 50,000 words towards a novel in one month. I thought that by removing the distractions of social … Continue reading I’m Back
The Trials of Not Being a Morning Person
I am not a morning person, I wake up early for the most part but it takes me a good hour or so to become a fully functioning human again. The process requires copious amounts of coffee and usually a bit of mindless scrolling through social media. The wouldn't be huge issue if it wasn't … Continue reading The Trials of Not Being a Morning Person
Wednesday 5th May 2021
Today I want to talk about setting the right state of mind at the start of the day. It is really easy to get into a situation where something bad happens early on in the day and the day quickly starts to spiral downward. Before you know it you are feeling miserable and having the … Continue reading Wednesday 5th May 2021
Monday 3rd May 2021
I think I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with editing. I love to remake my story into something better but I hate spending hours staring at the same sentence wondering if this really is the best way of getting my point across. I also have to solve all the problem parts that I … Continue reading Monday 3rd May 2021
