Hmm, where exactly do I start? It's already 2/3 of the way into the month and without hesitation I can literally say that it's blitzed by at what feels like lightning speed. I spent the better part of last week in the hospital with our youngest daughter whom was quite ill after she came down … Continue reading A week in review; week ending 20th Oct. 2019
Sharing your creativity with vulnerability
You and I both... we've started a new notebook or journal. Stumped. What's to go on the first page? It has to be perfect. No. In todays post I decided to share my own first page, imperfectly. And that felt about as good as perfect anyway. I figured that if I include the feeling of … Continue reading Sharing your creativity with vulnerability
How to find time to blog
It's a misconception that we find the time. It's also a misconception that we make the time. When something shows up that needs to be done, or, the moment you decide you want to do something, you don't find or make the time. It doesn't work that way. You and I both know how many … Continue reading How to find time to blog
Week ending 6th October – A week in review
I think we each have our own time of year where we come alive. Having recently went to twitter asking the question when are people "most effective", it would appear winter is the time to shine for a number of those in the community. The realisation has arrived, this is the time of year where … Continue reading Week ending 6th October – A week in review
A selfie stick, of sorts.
Take me back two years and I would have felt 'unfinished' had I have made my own rig for filming video. Today, well, that's a different story. I find joy in making something I know contributes to my creativity, because the process itself is creative. The project (most technical paragraph, I promise) I recently picked … Continue reading A selfie stick, of sorts.
Book Review: Show Your Work by Austin Kleon
I have about five or six favourite books so far, the kind of favourite that if I knew I was going to find myself in a post apocalyptic world, I'd want those books in my zombie pack. One such book that recently made it on that list is Show Your Work by Austin Kleon. I … Continue reading Book Review: Show Your Work by Austin Kleon
September Favourites – Ivan Siladji
I warmed right up in September. That means I enjoyed a lot of things too. Here's the deal-- We all know I hate summer, blah blah. But for some strange reason, reasons I'm also not willing to accept, as the sun gets closer and spring approaches, I come alive. It's totally counter intuitive to my … Continue reading September Favourites – Ivan Siladji
Attention bloggers: #blogtober2019 has arrived!
I can't believe it's that time of year again already. #Blogtober is now upon us depending on where you are in the world. And if you're reading this after the challenge has started, never fear, it's never too late to join in the action.
Goodbye, #blogtober 2018. Hello, NaNoWriMo 2018.
I'm going to keep this one short, and sweet. I've expressed so much gratitude over the last few days to all of my readers. And I'm feeling content. You've made the last 31 consecutive days of blogging an absolute blast. It's been the most fullfilling month of blogging for me. I'm grateful for that. For … Continue reading Goodbye, #blogtober 2018. Hello, NaNoWriMo 2018.
I’m doing NaNoWriMo, as a rebel, differently.
What's the difference between a pronoun, a grapheme, and a consonant? I have absolutely no idea! In fact, I even had to look up how to spell 'consonant' as I thought it was spelt *constenant. This is what I most love about writing, particularly today; the fact that one can write any way they so … Continue reading I’m doing NaNoWriMo, as a rebel, differently.
