Or, giving yourself space to breathe when you need to (and some ramblings, probably) The past few months have been – as for most of the world – quite overwhelming.

I’m (Finally) Back!
In which I give a glimpse into what I’ve been up to, what I’m planning for the year, and probably also ramble a bit
Of Working Two Months Ahead, Looking After Yourself, and Fiction Writing News
The last we saw our intrepid writer, she was busy outlining the whole of The Ruon Chronicles and taking Sir Tristan the Wonder Cat for walkies in the garden. Since then… well not much has changed and yet a lot has changed.
Musings On My Writing

I truly believe that by reading and writing fantasy – and sometimes scifi – I get to explore more than if I didn’t write any genre fiction. Fantasy delves into so many fields; linguistics, archaeology, history, etc. that I learn a lot more…… Continue reading Musings On My Writing

Okay… so that was March flitting by faster than a Will o’ the Wisp… To say that I didn’t do everything I wanted to this March (fiction writing wise) is an understatement. Well, okay, word count-wise it was a flop. Thinking about stories and outlining Stuff was much more productive. Turns out that I did…… Continue reading End-of-March Writing Update: Ruon Chronicles, Ghost Stories, and Other Stuff

In which I share some of my favourite music by Radical Face and ruminate on some moods.
On Being Unsocial: Why I Deleted Twitter and Facebook from My Phone
I’d had it. For the umpteenth time, I found myself having spent over 40 minutes scrolling through the neverending timeline that is Twitter — and getting angry and worked up.
