Faded Fragments: A Nexus Series Novel
Faded Fragments. Two words that came to me after I decided to change the original name of my novel (fyi it was first dubbed Kiss of The Dead and I used the font Papyrus to write it.) I was 14 when the story first came to mind. It started with a scene and to be honest it started as a result of finally seeing The Mummy and falling more in love with Ancient Egyptian mythology (and a young Brendan Fraser…let’s be real, Rick was and still is the dreamiest man ever). The first draft of FF was messy, it was incomplete and was just a scene with minimal action and…

What Writing Mindset Coaching with me looks like
This has been a blog post that I have been trying to write and I have been putting it off for a while, but I’ve hit Resistance and I’ve hit my own Self Doubt. Two of the biggest problem that not only myself but sometimes I have worked with time and time again with clients. I call self-doubt by what I know it as: Inner Editor (IE). This voice is the one that tells us that our writing is crap, that we can’t do it and that we’ll never have anything to show for all of our effort. That we’re quitters. Our IE is the reason resistance comes up, it’s…

Destressing The Creative
I’m probably renowned by a lot of friends for being a bit of a stress head and someone who overthinks a lot, which is not untrue, but there are two words I actually hate hearing: Don’t Stress, because no matter how many times I hear these words, it never actually helps. In fact, if you have known me for longer than six months, you’ll know that those very two words will make me hang up on you, slam a door in your face and not talk to you until you understand that stressing is a part of my process. I will bitch and moan about how stressed I am and…

Why?
What’s your why when it comes to your novel? I want to know. What makes your story stand out in comparison to someone else writing the same story? What is your writing why? I was listening to a podcast – one of my favourites about Self Publishing – The Self Publishing Show – and there was something that was really powerful in the way that they spoke about knowing the why behind your story. I think it’s the most powerful driving force of your story. Why does the story need to be written from that point of view? Or what makes your version of the story so amazing that it…

Become a Patreon
I’ve been hoarding my Patreon for years, because I’ve been too scared to launch it out into the nest because it meant keeping myself accountable and it meant that I was putting myself out there, but it’s been on my business board for so long and the closer I am getting to releasing my novel, I’m finding more and more things that I have been procrastinating on. This has been one of the biggers ones – along with my shop (which is just more of a fund thing) but I’m done hiding. I’m done making myself smaller because I’m scared. I deserve to get the most out of my talent…
