I never thought I’d be grieving a parent
It’s been 18 months since my hard arse, strict and ever loving and supportive father was taken before his time and in that time I’ve had numerous people ask me how I am, how I’m coping and I’ve gone with the honest, sometimes hiding the real truth of an answer: I’m doing the best that I can. And it’s true. I am. There’s no manual about how to deal with the loss of a parent, there’s no concrete handbook on grief that is personalised for you to work through. There’s only life and it continues like nothing has changed. It’s really okay that there’s a hole in my life and…

Counting Down: NaNoWriMo 2015
I can’t believe that it’s already October. We’re less than a month away from the biggest month of the year for many writer’s around the world. Are you suddenly perplexed and reaching to your calendar for the answer? You aren’t? Good, because your calendar won’t tell you the answer unless you’ve got yourself some writer friends. NaNoWriMo starts in less than a month and I’m gearing up to start writing the first draft of my next novel. A lot of people can’t seem to get their heads around writing so many words in a month but I think I’m getting ahead of myself. A lot of you are probably thinking:…

I’m a writer. Are you? #writerlyinsides
I’m a Writer. And so are you. Say it with me. I’m a Writer. Now the trick is to really put feeling behind it. Believe that you are a writer. I was having a lovely conversation with a new friend the other day and she made the comment that she was a novice writer. And I stared at it for a moment and a rush came over to me. It was so fierce that it was probably good that I had armfuls of groceries otherwise I would have dropped my phone. I was so stunned. I hadn’t something like that in a long time. There are so many beautiful and talented…

Heart + Hustle
I feel so very blessed to meet some really amazing ladies. One of them is Sarah from Sarahjensen.com.au. I was lucky enough to work with her on her eBook and from there we’ve steadily become friends having met her in Adelaide and catching up with her while she was in Melbourne.

The post went live not that long ago and I want to take a moment to direct you over there. Click on this link to check out my…

Writing Wednesday
It’s been a slow week this week. I’ve taken some time to get my writing back on track and get back into the game. I’m fixing edits in my novel. I’m making a deadline and I’m going to keep it this time. Today’s Writing Wednesday prompt is all about spring, because the first day of spring has just passed (well until the equinox anyway!) and the air is a lighter. The air is light, warmer and smells like what? Explain it. Don’t forget to send your tries to dreaming (at) dreamingfullyawake (dot) com for a chance at free editing (valued at $450)
