I want to be a Paperback Writer.
Life is starting to feel very black and white. I know it's up to me to start colouring it in. But I'm struggling to choose which colours to use. This is what I had started to think, as I was becoming more settled into life in London. The initial feeling of 'what the hell is [...]
We're oceans apart. Between us waves are breaking, And so is my heart. I wrote a version of this poem in a notebook two years ago, completely forgetting about it until I fell upon the same notebook a few weeks ago. When I saw it I was pleasantly surprised. I realised I could change the [...]
They say start as you mean to go on. So far this year, in this new decade, I have moved into a flat with two good friends, secured a new job, and begun a whole new routine of life and keeping connected with friends in a way that is different from popping down the road [...]
To write about Kenilworth now, I will have to stretch my mind back to a month ago. It was a Sunday when I visited. Surprisingly bright, although it was cold and it had rained for three days straight prior. The road surrounding the castle had flooded. A group of people had gathered on the bridge [...]
When the leaves changed colour and fell, I didn't think of it. As the air became chillier I only thought for my pile of jumpers, that remained tucked away for so long. A sudden desire to stay indoors didn't even open my eyes. So belatedly, it dawned on me yesterday that I was facing October [...]
Hello everyone. How are you all? It feels like it's been a while since I came here to write, though actually behind the blog I've been writing a lot. In my absence I've also been catching up on the TBR pile I accumulated too. Amongst them was this beautiful hunk of a book: The Girl [...]
One month has passed so easily. Whenever I disappear from blogging I know I'll be sad, but the longer it is also equates to the difficulty of coming back. One moment you're struggling to write and the next there's nothing on the page at all. Scary, really. That I still have ideas but seem to [...]
There's hardly any pictures and no words are coming to mind. January, everyone says you are passing too slowly, but I feel like you only dropped by. When the year started I was determined to make this year better than last. I'm pleased to say that's going very well, although I don't have much to [...]
All I can think about at the moment is fictional worlds, which is also making it difficult to focus on blog posts. So compromise, let's have a writing update! At the end of last year I finished one story and have begun an editing process with it. If I thought getting the initial plot down [...]
I've had a rush of writing inspiration the last few days, hence updating my writing progress a tad late. As I went to stop writing one piece on Sunday to work on my blog, I second guessed myself and continued writing what I was really excited about. Writing that paragraph has made me realise how [...]
