Writing Wednesday
I can feel a switch in the air. With the solstice having come and go, the days will be getting longer again and it’s getting up to my favourite time of year but until then let’s talk about today’s Writing Wednesday prompt. It’s about family. Who are the family that keep you grounded? How do they make you feel when you’re down? Send all your entries to dreaming (at) dreamingfullyawake (dot) com

Writing Wednesday
I feel that this week will be a big one and I’m cruising through it. Not quite sure how that happened, but I’m going with it. I’m writing this from my bed, because I can and I’ve been trying to catch up on all of my lost sleep. A hard feat! Today’s Writing Wednesday prompt is a fun one. And a throw back to me wanting warmth back. This chilly winter is getting the better of me. It’s time to go to the beach of the day, do you pack with you? Why do you pack what is coming with you? Feel it out. That’s right, feel it out. Don’t forget…

Limits: My Worst Nightmare
I feel like I’ve had a big shift happen over the last week or so. My thinking cap has been out in full force and I’ve been mulling over things that have randomly popped out into my head. A few of those have been big surprises to me. Some have been what I’ve know for a long time and I’m finally coming home to it. The biggest one it all about limits. Personal limits, writing limits, work limits, life limits. To me, it’s a little bit daunting. I don’t work well with limits, in fact limits terrify me. They make me feel caged in and make me want to run away.…

Writing Wednesday
I’ve been busily working behind the scenes for some really exciting things. Keep an eye out for the announcement really soon. As for today’s Writing Wednesday it’s all about winter. It’s getting bloody colder here by the day and it makes me want to curl up with a blanket, a cup of tea and good book but alas there’s much to do! Your character is forced to go outside in the chill of the early morning. What do they put on and how does it make them feel? What are their layers like?

Comparisons: A Writer’s Worst Enemy
Everyone knows all about comparisons, sometimes we get brought up with comments such as, ‘Oh that’s not what your brother does, you want to be like him don’t you?’ Our parent’s didn’t know what we now know as adults. They thought that a little bit of healthy competition was good, and it is…but when it morphs into comparison, something has gone drastically wrong. As a writer it can be paralysing. It’s a damn good worst enemy. I am lucky enough to get a chance to read some brilliant work, before anyone else. My bestie and I like to acknowledge her as my critic partner, Peta, has given me a copy…

Writing Wednesday
I love Wednesdays! The middle of the week is here but more so Writing Wednesday has snuck up on us again. I’ve been busy writing little bits and pieces of my writing practice coaching course and jotting down great little nuggets of inspiration for my creativity workshop that’s happening later on in the year. Yay! Cleaning can be both therapeutic and annoying (ha!) what processes do you go through when cleaning and what sort of cleaning do you do? (hint: mentally, emotionally, physically).

Reading Wrap Up
I’ve decided to do a round up of links that I read, because sometimes I get a little carried away and excited because, seriously, there’s SO much goodness out there. And it’s really hard to get around to reading a lot of it. Lately I’ve been reading random Elephant Journal pieces that pop up in my feed. But I feel like you guys need to know what’s happening and what I’m reading. This is also going to include novels, because I always have a novel around with me. I’m still reading my way through Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter novels and I’m currently up to Dream Chaser which is both good…

Writing Wednesday
Writing Wednesday is here again! Yay. The weather has taken a right turn towards the chill of winter. I was okay with the first week of the chill now I’m thoroughly over it, but I think a lot of it is because I have to wear boots instead of pretty slip on shoes. Just ugh. Anyway, today’s writing prompt is about winter. So let’s see what you come up with. Layers, chill and rain are all apart of winter, how do you deal with them? What do you do with them? Use details about the climate and make it reflect through your piece. Don’t forget to send entries to…

Are you ready to be Bloghearted too?
Another release of Bright-Eyed and Bloghearted is coming around the corner on June 1st and it’s going to be the only one for 2015 because our beautiful leader, Rachel McDonald, is going to bring her her little bloghearted boy into the world this year! Yay. Now this course, oh gosh, this course has actually been a life saver. It’s content is rich and it’s given me the push to do what I want, you see I was doing BEBH next to B-School and I found that I got more out of Bloghearted alone. I was able to do my about page and share it with the beautiful woman in the…

Do What You Want
I’m standing at my kitchen counter writing to this as I listen to music and I realised just how freeing it is to do what you want. Do you hear that? To. Do. What. I. Want. I spent the day browsing the net before I settled on listening to random YouTube music from 7 or so years ago. Music was great then, music now is good too, but it was great back then. It brings me back to my days fresh out of high school where I had no idea what I wanted to do. I always thought that I could see myself in a high paying job doing something…
