Last week, I started re-reading The Vampire Academy series (by Richelle Mead) and I started re-watching Dawson’s Creek. When you re-read or re-watch something, you notice different things, you feel differently because you know what’s going to happen so you focus on other things and can take everything in in more detail. Usually, when I’m [...]

Lost in a daydream
The window offers endless possibilities Stretching out across a bright blue sky Following the birds towards the horizon Don’t know what we will find there Outside of me lies the chance to be free Lying on the spongy grass daydreaming Tracks laid by planes flying far away Following their journey to the stars I [...]

Inspiration in its many forms
Firstly, a big thank you and virtual hug to my lovely blogging buddy Kourtney Heintz for passing me two awards! It’s amazing how the universe can turn things around. Yesterday, I was feeling the wobbles. But today, I’m inspiring to someone. Wow. Thanks Kourtney. I love being inspired and I love to inspire others. I was [...]

Wobbles
You know that feeling you get sometimes when you question everything about yourself? I call it having a wobble. I had one yesterday when I started to get pretty down on myself and wondered what the hell I’m doing. Mine was related to writing but wobbles can strike at anytime, usually when you’re on the [...]

Somebody that I used to know
I think everyone has heard this song now, it’s everywhere. It’s catchy but the reason I think it’s so popular is the story it tells. It’s a timeless break-up song. We’ve all been there and we all know what it feels like. It doesn’t have to just be a partner, it could be a [...]

Sunday songs
I’m really looking forward to Paloma Faith’s second album, her first was really unique and catchy. Picking up the pieces: This song is everywhere right now but I do love it. Alex Clare – Too Close Rumer has a gorgeous voice. PF Sloan: I don’t usually like this kind of thing but it’s stuck in [...]

Can you write if you don’t read?
I haven’t really read any Stephen King books. Don’t shoot me please! It’s just not my favourite genre but he has a lot of great writing advice and tips. This quote caught my eye the other day. Writers are often told to read widely and this is vital to help us write. I read a blog [...]

Weather vs Mood
I’m often struck by how weather affects my mood. Usually I smile at how fiction from other countries portray England as always being wet – lately though, this is spot on. It seems like it’s endlessly raining. And it’s pretty depressing. Writers and film makers often use weather to convey mood. Whether using rain to [...]

Capturing moments
When I did some clearing out this week, I found some old photos. It got me thinking how I don’t place as much importance on photos anymore – you can take them far more easily now, I can use my phone or digital camera or even my laptop but I don’t bother as much. I [...]
