I loaded the first half of the year up pretty heavily, and didn’t plan anything beyond June. While I managed to get most things done, it was taxing, and I don’t want to do it again.
This time, I’m going for broad goals, not pinned down to months, just a rough plan of what I’d like [...]

Thoughts on what comes next

The other day I was around at my Mum’s, and broached the topic of future career. I said, ‘I think I know what I’m going to do for a career.’
She looked at me and said something along the lines of, ‘I thought you were writing?’
It’s a pretty validating thing when your mother thinks that your [...]

I can’t believe this week is coming to a close already! It’s been my most productive one in a really long time – after I put up my last post I pressed on with the writing and crossed 20K that night, and last night saw me up past 21,500 words. I love it, and hope [...]

After managing to get some more rest today, I’m beginning to feel a little better. I mean, I ate dinner (most of it anyways) that’s a sign of recovery!
It’s really been a hell of a few weeks, and I’m looking forward to a little downtime from sickness and other things. Please?
All going well, we should [...]
Another weekend disappears

Just like that, and it’s half done already. But this week we have a long weekend! Which I keep forgetting. Hopefully that means I’ll get some extra writing done tomorrow, but I’m not really holding my breath.
It just seems so difficult to get anything much done on my writing at the moment. I think when [...]
another day of Christmas

Today my Dad and his girlfriend come down for a few days, and the in laws come across from their town for a few days as well. So it’s Christmas continued for us! When all the presents are dealt with I can happily say that Christmas is over – Ivy’s biggest haul is normally from [...]
The balancing act

I feel like I performed this SO well yesterday. It was quite a stunning day in some ways. Mostly because it feels like for the first time in a long time, each part of my life got enough attention.
I spent most of the morning catering to Ivy’s needs. She’s been a bit of a nightmare [...]
A good day

It began slowly. Being the one week day when Ivy is not in care, it always feels a little longer.
I got all the housework out of the way. We played some games, all the while with a baby wide awake. By the time I got Ivy down for a nap I had to give in [...]
Another beautiful day

I am loving the weather lately. The fact that I can hang washing outside, not wear a jersey and go out without people giving me those ‘why on earth aren’t you wearing shoes?’ looks. It’s just so nice
I got more writing done last night! So I’m now sitting just over 91K. Feels good [...]
