A December to Forget

I'm not the sort to do monthly writing roundups on the blog - mainly because there's never much to say - but it's been a while and I've seemed quiet. I guess the goal to blog more can be left on the to-do list. However, and despite the silence, I have been making a little …

What’s Up Wednesday? Sept 12

It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these (ha – sensing a trend), but I’ve been inspired by the revival of my friend Jae’s blog, and where better to start with a classic list? I forget how many points we’re supposed to muse over, but five is a lovely handful for now …

A Return to Blogging

Yes, it has been an extended time of absence, an extended time of uncertainty. You see, it’s not the adulting that’s difficult; it’s the finding time to relax amongst the adulting that we as a society struggle to achieve. With the brain so full of other things, of socialising and working, getting home becomes a …

Going Back to My Novel

I look at the first lines of, well, it must be about chapter twenty-four but the chapter numbers have been so muddled about lately as I started almost completely rewriting that I can no longer discuss the novel in chapter numbers. I look at those first lines of this chapter I've set myself to reframe …

Quick Takes: Truth Tables, Fantastic Magic, and SPG Hit

Seven Quick Takes is hosted by This Ain't the Lyceum. ~1~ As we near advent now, it is time to reevaluate our goals and our behaviour, and orient ourselves towards the Lord and His genesis into human life. Christmas is such a pivotal time for Christians because of the birth of Christ. ~2~ This song …

NaNo No, Part 2: A Resurgence?

The further the skyship ascended into the stratosphere, the more Cathy was made to regret (that) she hadn't tied her hair above her head/up. The rain danced/? off the sails with ?/ thrummed/? against the deck. She drew her/a shawl/? closer against/around her neck. Because that airship in Stardust is gorgeous. 🙂 And a snippet …

Beautiful People: H’s Cathy

*gasp* What is this, an actual Beautiful People post on my blog in 2016? I know, I’ve been as lax in keeping up with the writing tag as a printer sans ink, partly because I’ve not tackled any new big novels for a while and instead have been trying to focus on the importance of …

7 Quick Takes: A Recap of the Vanished

I know I’ve been absent from 7 Quick Takes Friday for a while now. Some of it has been out of my control – moving and all that jazz – but some of it, I must admit, has been laziness on my part. So, of all the things, this is a Friday catch-up, I suppose. …

House Moving and Procrastination

Sorry I have been shamefully quiet this last week. It looks like I was more able to post when I was out of the country (in Poland for the World Youth Day) than when I have been here in England with my laptop and time to my disposal. There have been a few factors orchestrating …

Currently, on a Wednesday

The currently posts are meant to be on Tuesdays (or at least author Katy Upperman does it on Tuesdays, from whom I got the idea), and I fully tried to post it yesterday, but I’ve had so much catching up to do now I can’t do it until after 8pm that my work on it …
