New Year, New Me...kind of
My dreams and goals for 2018...
My last blog post was almost four months ago, and for the past few weeks it’s been making me more and more anxious thinking about what to write for my next post, when to post it, if it’s even worth continuing because I’d left it too long. It had become this tight knot in my chest, accompanied by an immense feeling impending doom, all because I’ve not written on this blog since September.
Then I…

Chronic Illness means always having to think about what other people are going to think. Will they still believe me? Does this look like I’m exaggerating my illness? Am I hiding this the right way? Do I look well enough? Do I look sick enough?
chronic pain isn’t just dealing with pain
-it is choosing between making food or taking a shower
-it is having to take meds on an empty stomach and dry heaving through a morning
-it is knowing that you can’t possibly balance your school/work, social life, and physical fitness all at the same time
-it is barely being able to handle one
-it is years of having to miss out on years of events and parties and being dubbed “antisocial” because of it
-it is spending 99% of your time in pain and alone
it is so much more than “just pain”. I think abled people forget that chronic pain really does permeate every aspect of a person’s life.
- it’s losing friends because they think you should “paint on a smile” to make special events fun for them. Even though you’ve walked up and down hills, and are in complete agony.
- it’s having your significant other say that you don’t pull you’re weight with chores.
- it’s breaking down at work, if you still can work, because you’re having a bad day and customers are shouting at you.
- it’s the depression that comes along with chronic pain to join the party.
- it’s constantly worrying about money, work, personal relationships and events, causing you to stress out, which in turn causes more pain.
- it’s not being able to fully enjoy anything anymore, because you know if you push yourself too far with anything at all you will suffer for the next 3 - 7 days.
-it’s having no-one understand that even on your good days where you can laugh and smile and go out, you’re still in pain. you’re never not in pain.
-it’s having it constantly on your mind because it hurts so much and being told ‘it probably feels worse cause you’re thinking about it all the time’.
-it’s having to lie about your pain levels because they just don’t get that yes, you’re really at a 10, and no, you’re not exaggerating.
-it’s feeling guilty for having a good day because you convince yourself that maybe you’re not as sick as you thought you were. then feeling like death for the next week and hating yourself for thinking you were getting better.
-it’s so many things it’s exhausting.
Writing the Falling Action
So, your story has hit its climax. The moment your readers have been anticipating since the beginning of the novel has arrived, but where does it go from there? At the turning point of any story, there needs to be something important that happens after it—ultimately leading to the resolution.
But what’s the falling action and why does it matter?
Here are a few things the falling action should accomplish:
Address the aftermath of the climax
The climax is a big moment that has major impact on your novel. Clearly, your characters shouldn’t just move on without feeling sometime or addressing that impact. What will your characters do next? How will they get over what just happened? Use the falling action to let your characters (and readers) take in what occurred. What are the consequences?
Unpack the conflict
The conflict should begin to unravel at this point. If your protagonist had to make a tough, life-changing decision, how does that change the conflict? Remember, you’re leading up to the resolution now, so there should be very few new problems introduced. How has the conflict changed? What will your heroes/villains have to do now?
Helps correctly pace the novel
Falling action isn’t all about the aftermath and conflict, it also helps flesh out your novel so it doesn’t end too abruptly. There needs to be more than the climax and then a few paragraphs explaining what happened to your characters. Stories usually don’t end on their high point! What happens after the main problem of the story has been resolved and what are the direct effects of the climax?
Builds a bridge to the resolution
Start working to the resolution through the falling action. Where will your characters end up? How has the story been pushing them there? Begin tying up loose ends and figure out what everyone’s “new normal” will be. The climax should have a direct influence on the falling action and resolution.

Hollyshorts Film Festival 2017
Hollyshorts Film Festival 2017
This time last year I was waiting anxiously to start my Scriptwriting degree at Bournemouth University. I’d only ever really written short stories and poetry but had a strong interest in the screenplay format. So to sit here now, jet-lagged, after having travelled half way across the world to represent my screenplay in a Film Festival is a really strange feeling. I can’t wrap my head around how…

Don’t Vote Tory
There’s really not much for me to say; just don’t vote Tory. Anything but Tory. Look up your constituency and find out who the second party is (if in Tory seat) and vote for them. If you’re in a constituency not held by the Conservatives and they have even a slight chance of getting in, vote for your current MP. Don’t let the Tories get your seat, or, conversely, don’t let them keep it.
This may be our last chance in a generation to save our country. Please, don’t waste the opportunity.

Dealing with a panic attack
Dealing with a panic attack
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I have decided to reblog a post I wrote about a year ago about how I deal with panic attacks. I wrote this when I was in an extremely difficult point mentally, and it was very difficult to write, and is still very difficult to share. But I think it’s important to share posts like these to raise awareness and ultimately break the stigma attached to mental…
