Hello everyone! I hope this week has treated you well. The last few weeks I’ve been stressing about a short story competition. Protip: don’t enter a competition where you have to pay the sign-up fee before you find out the theme. It wasn’t a massive sign-up fee and I could have just let it go,Continue reading “Snippet Saturday – July 11, 2020”

Snippet Saturday – July 04, 2020
In the interests of trying to blog with some kind of regularity, I am implementing Snippet Saturday. Not to be confused with Snippet Sunday, which is a fairly popular blog hop. I’m not good at blog hops; it’s better for me to just do my own thing. I can schedule a few of these atContinue reading “Snippet Saturday – July 04, 2020”
2020 Writing Goals – Mid-year Check-in
At the start of this year, some writer friends and I chose a word as the theme for the coming 12 months. Mine was LEARN. With everything that’s gone on in the past few months, I’ve been doing a fair amount of learning, not just about writing but life in general. Learning how to make workContinue reading “2020 Writing Goals – Mid-year Check-in”
Writing Update – 18 May 2020
Does anyone else feel like time is passing at twice its usual speed lately? I don’t know. I’m finding it all very confusing, and I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since my last post! I’ve been doing some work on the A More Complicated Fairytale book description. When I was doing Bryan Cohen’s five-day AmazonContinue reading “Writing Update – 18 May 2020”
Sunday Summary – May 03
How can it be May already? After March dragged on forever, April seemed to be gone in the blink o an eye! In spite of everything, April was a pretty good month in Chez Wrayburn. Working from home kicked in, which took away a lot of the stress we’had been feeling about having to stillContinue reading “Sunday Summary – May 03”
2020 Writing Goals – April Check-in
At the start of this year, some writer friends and I chose a word as the theme for the coming 12 months. Mine was LEARN. Now the start of the year feels like a million years ago, but actually, I’ve been ticking things off on this list more so than I thought. That’s why check-inContinue reading “2020 Writing Goals – April Check-in”

Where’d you go, Emily?
So who else is ready for 2020 to be cancelled? From starting the year covered in bushfire smoke, to massive hailstorms, to job insecurity only exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is it any wonder that I’ve barely put pen to paper, or that my last post here was February 16? Any wonder that I wasContinue reading “Where’d you go, Emily?”
