Hiatus over.
Happy Saturday, everyone. When I overhauled the blog, I decided Saturday’s were the time to get a bit personal with you all. Let you know the person behind the screen. Which is why I think today is the day to come back from my sudden hiatus. Thank you to those who have followed in the time I disappeared, it was a pleasant surprise, especially as I had no new content. So why did I disappear? Honestly,…

Happy Wednesday everyone!
Time for an update on my current project, Dear Annie. Things are going well. I am on to my third and hopefully final notebook of my first draft, which is awesome! Although as I’ve been writing today, it occured to me that I may be being ambitious. It always feel like I coming to the end and that I realise that ,whoopsie, I have thirty more ‘chapters’ to write.
For those…

It’s writing challenge Tuesday.
I got the prompt, I typed the words, I did the thing.
Challenge thirteen – Write a story beginning “I thought I saw…”
I thought I saw you today. From the corner of my eye and only for a second. Rationality tells me it wasn’t you at all. Someone who looked similar. Their hair the same shade as yours, their figure a familiar comfort. For a moment, I felt at peace. As…

Feeling Pumped!
It’s a new day, a new week, nearly a new month and I am feeling pumped!
I didn’t update yesterday and I’ll be brutally honest, I didn’t want to. I sat watching Disney movies all day, drawing my favourite characters and thinking about the shit show that was last week.
On the plus side, I did smash my writing goals. I told you all I’d write at least one chapter a day and I did. In fact I averaged…

Happy Saturday everyone!
So here we are again, with inconsistent uploads. For some reason I was having trouble connecting to the site yesterday, but it’s all good. I can kind of combine yesterday and todays post and let you all what’s going down.
So midweek, my little sister launched her book on Amazon. Super exciting! Super proud! And then we came back down to Earth with a bump.
She finds out…

God, I'm dumb.
God, I’m dumb.
So for the past two days, I have written up some blog posts, pressed save and closed my laptop thinking nothing of it.
But I was getting no notifications from the blog, no emails saying new likes. It’s weird. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a lot of notifications come through. But one or two per post… that’s the standard (and I am very appreciative of those one or two!).
So I log on today to try…

The Missing Link
Another late one. Very late. See Saturdays post for more details! Very often, I find that I can have a vague idea in my head of a story. It’s not fleshed out at all. Perhaps it’s a small voice in the back of my mind whispering “my turn, pick me!”. It could be a small impression of a place or a memory I know doesn’t belong to me. These tiny details will eventually end up in a story of mine, but…

Onwards, Upwards
Bit of a late one today.
I’ve been decorating my son’s room all day, and it seems no matter how much work I put in, no progress is made.
I’m being dramatic, of course, I’m actually nearly done and a couple more days up there and we’ll be ready for last touches. But it is slow going.
So how do we sum up this week?
In terms of writing, eh, it’s not impressive. Things over at Inkitt have been a…

The Story of My Writing Dreams
The Story of My Writing Dreams
When I was still in primary school, we had a visit from a couple of authors. They were loud and larger than life and were doing a tour of all the local schools to promote their current book.
They held a contest. Write about the reason you loved their visit.
I had written about why their visit made me want to write. I wanted to create weird characters and make them do stupid things. I wanted to go…

Oh book, where art thou?
Oh book, where art thou?
It’s one in the morning (at the time of writing). I have spent the last hour trying to track down a book I once read in my teen. It’s a familiar scene, one that usually follows a conversation with my sister. She will call me and draw me into her dark games. “Lisa. Do you remember a book we read? It had a disease in it.” I’m gonna need more details. Cue us both frantically typing at our laptops,…

Recently I have picked up one of my favourite series of books and got lost in the world of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters once again. I cannot stress how much I love this series and I firmly believe no one can write a tortured hero quite like she can.
It mixes all of my favourite things. Mythology, vampires, the mysteries of Atlantis, and characters to fall in love with.
With that in mind I thought I would share my favourite Gods and Goddesses from mythology.
Hades – See we’re supposed to hate Hades I think, but he’s my absolutely my favourite (which has nothing to do with Disney) and I think he’s totally misunderstood. I named my cat after him.
Persephone – You can’t have one without the other, and she ranks as my favourite Goddess. You’d have to be a bad ass to be married to the King of the Underworld, right? My other cat is named after her.
Hathor – I fell in love with Hathor years ago while watching Stargate and continued further reading about her.
Dionysus – Why, I can’t tell you. But I found a statue of him in a museum and it sparked my interest in Greek Mythology, when before then, I was an Egyptian Mythology enthusiast. I’m writing a book about him inspired by that museum visit.
Thoth – As a god of wisdom, writing, science and art, how could I not love him?
What Gods from various cultures spark your interest?
Until next time,

My current project, Dear Annie is going well and I’m hoping in the next couple of weeks, I’ll be finished with the first draft. As always, you can read this unedited version here. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the feeback I’ve been getting and thought I would share some of the reviews and comments I’ve been given.
Until next time,

Ken's Jungle Nightmare
Ken’s Jungle Nightmare
For the next thirty Tuesdays, I’m going to be choosing a challenge from a list you can find here.
This week I’ve gone for number Challenge 9: Write a story based on the title of the last movie you saw (without using the plot from that movie).
The last movie I watched was the Jungle Book and I got my inspiration from the image below.
I hope you enjoy!

Sister Sister
Welcome to the start of a new week. Scotland is continuing it’s lockdown and I have another three weeks of uninterrupted writing ahead of me. Whoop whoop!
Kicking of with this weeks inspiration, I want to talk about my younger sister. Now I am not going to detail all the reasons Joanne may have struggles throughout her day – they’re not my stories to tell. But what I will say is for someone as…

Rollcall!
It’s the end of another week and whew am I glad it’s over.
It’s not been particularly bad, but I have struggled with a few issues with my current novel Dear Annie. As a result, progress has been slow and I didn’t write nearly as much as I wanted to.
However, I’ve come out of the other end and I’m back on track. Last week I said I’d like to be two thirds of the way through the book, or at Annie’s…

A Never Ending Task
A Never Ending Task
Time to get personal once again as we get to know one another. This week I thought I’d share the progress I’ve made on my sons room.
For the last years he has changed his mind on what he wants in his room. Minecraft, Spiderman, Fortnite, Harry Potter. It went on and on and I’d start putting his room together in my mind and he’d switch it up. Finally I had enough and decided to do them all.
It…
